I have often wondered why I was attracted to a materialist occupation like furniture making. I wonder if it is a rejection of the spiritual, these words are from a failed suicide bomber, 'The power of the spirit pulls us upward while the power of material things pulls us downwards, someone bent on martyrdom becomes immune to the pull of the material.'
There is no such thing as religious extremism only religion. You can only believe or not believe, you can't believe in an extreme way. There is no hierarchy within religion, no extremism or moderation, only faith or no faith. Faith is bad precisely because it requires no justification and brooks no argument.
