Nobody, from any and all religion, should blindly allow others to tell them what to think.

The fact is that the only a minority of people are thinkers. Majority are the followers. Even the greatest thinkers have most of their ideas inherited from the past generations (many of them unknowingly). Men are social animals more than they are individuals.

That is why we do not have 6 billion religions or 6 billion political ideologies or 6 billion civilizations.

And the bombers aren't blindly following what you tell them to think. Not the issue, plenty of thinking men are willing to kill innocents and to teach others to do so, to die trying, etc.
