Boston bombings

Two young misguided kids let off bombs killing three people. The Americans call these kids terrorists. What is true is that they are Muslims. All suicide bombers believe in the dogma of the soul. That consciousness is not dependent on the brain. This is at the core of the problem. You do not get atheist suicide bombers. You do not get Jewish suicide bombers. Much of what we know about consciousness comes from Jewish scientists, from Kandel to Freud. Why should it be that so many of the greatest names in studies of the mind and brain are Jewish? I believe it is because Judaism never put much in to the afterlife. They already knew, as we know now, that there is no soul. Perhaps this wasn't articulated but it is clear. Even now, the Christian west pay reverence to suicide bombers commitment to belief. I think the idea of the soul is a malignant idea. Something we need to work ourselves away from.
