Malala Yousafzai

Hi Humans,
Let us hope for the recovery of the Malala Yousafzai, the beautiful intelligent teenage girl who was gravely wounded by cowardly Taliban goons because she defied them. The Taliban and other militant Moslem fundamentalists (and militant fundamentalists of any religion) pervert their religion and do not understand the purpose of religion. Religion began before the dawn of civilization when humans realized that life is temporary and existence seemed chaotic and purposeless. So they began belief in deities, later refined to one God, in an attempt to find meaning and purpose for life. That is an important endeavor. Unforunately there are people in the world who take advantage of religion and use it for political purposes and to dominate others. They think that if you do not follow exactly what they tell you to do or show disrespect to their icons or prophets, you are evil and not worthy of living. To kill anyone (yourself included) in the name of religion is not a religious act but quite the contrary. Belief in God exists because of the temporariness of life. It is not promoted by making life more temporary.
I know that you humans with your big brains will one day realize that giving life real meaning is what religion should be about, and you will not destroy yourselves and the rest of us creatures over nonsense.
