mellotron_breakfastA comment on this announced condemnation of terrorism.
I can see why a condemnation of suicide bombing is considered a positive note, but I'm not sure I can condone a notion of hell. It's one of those things that keeps me away from some organized religions in particular; I understand hating what someone has done so much, especially in cases where they escaped due process of the law, that you'd want something to catch up with him/her that didn't in the world of the living, but I think the concept as I've known it is over-the-top, needless, and not particularly useful. Suicide bombing isn't the key to a magical paradise is a message that works for me, makes sense, but suicide bombing is the key to a magical torture dungeon...
