I am agnostic. I never believed in God, except I have always been an ardent supporter of radical right-wing religious fundamentalism because it is awesome. I like the nice, peaceful communities that it seems to produce and I agree with it's practicioners on how the country should be run. However, the religious right is losing their power. They have lost control of the country and are therefore losing their appeal as a deterrent against hysterical left-wing political activism. Now, radical Islamic jihadists simply have something about them that screams potential. To begin with, I would have no qualms about pretending to "see the light" and swearing allegiance to Allah as my savior. However, I see things I don't like. For starters, I would have to give up bacon and alcohol. Additionally, I would have to adopt annoying prayer rituals. On a side note, they also have some bizarre practices that I would have to look the other way on because they are weird, disgusting and unpalatable. For example, I have no desire to see perfectly good women being stoned to death for being raped. That makes no sense. The question that remains is if the Muslims went through a reformation, could they be a positive direction in this country? The Jews are too far to the left, so I see no interest in Judaism.
