What a waste of time. You can find examples/extremes in each religion to "disprove" its legitimacy. For every Christian extremist/whacko you reference, I can find a Muslim, Jewish, Atheist counter-part. So, what's the point? There is none! Using fringe examples is pointless. After all the spin from all sides, we return to the same point. Uncertainty reigns. The weak will gravitate towards an explanation/religion to deal with the uncertainty. The rest will accept the uncertainty as being part of life.

Yes, but uncertainty need not reign. I am not uncertain, I am quite certain of these "uncertain things". Certainly (durn!) there are some things of which I am unsure, but my faith is neither blind, nor does it lie- my beliefs- lie only on faith, though that is a great deal of it of course (And, incidentaly, a part of uncertainty, for faith can not be proven- here- but is actually never fully certain, as our reason would have it. But reason is not the sum of the human, no, not the whole sum.)
