Why are you afraid of someone that is guided by a higher authority?

Osama bin Ladin is quided by a "higher authority". The greatest majority of
atrocities throughout history have been committed by persons claiming to be
acting for God, or some other diety. Adolph Hitler thought he had a holy
mandate to eliminate Jews- and if I remember the facts correctly he has *never*
been excommunicated from the RCC. (The RCC certainly doesn't and didn't condone
The Final Solution, but they hve kicked folks out for far less serious offenses
in the past-------come to think of it almost all offenses would be less
serious)

Throughout European history, there have been very bloody wars between sects
that acknowledge pretty much the *same* higer power, but disagree on what He or
She is saying.

Our religious leaders should be guided by
the "higher authority" appropriate for the religion they lead. Our secular
leaders, (such as the POTUS, leading a country forbidden by its own framers
from ever establishing a state religion), need to be concerned with diplomatic,
economic, strategic, and other worldly issues rather than presume to act as a
partisan agent of some diety or another.
