Insecure Gods
When Nobel Prize winner Isaac Rabi was asked to what he attributed his success, he said he always remembered that every day when he came home from school his mother would ask him, “Did you ask any good questions today?” What he imbibed was that we ultimately gain more from questions than answers. Answers bring a subject to a close; questions open us up to ever more profound and deeper understanding. That perhaps more than anything else may explain Jewish genius. From youth we explore the Torah, Talmud and commentaries with inquisitive minds encouraged to ask even when no clear response is in sight. To do otherwise would be to imply that our faith cannot withstand scrutiny, that our commitment to God is so tenuous that it is afraid of critical analysis.

Here is where Islam fails so miserably. Even if I knew nothing else about Islam, the Muslim’s fanatical objection to critiques would arouse my suspicions. But I only need to know one thing about Islam and that it is a creed that demands unquestioning submission. The God of the Jews and the Christians issues an invitation to follow Him. The Muslim god brooks no disputation. Love him or die. To me that is as pathetic as a rich man buying the attentions of a whore and pretending that he is the recipient of love and respect.
Why would I respect a god that is so small that he can’t tolerate my disrespect? Who demands that I prostrate myself before him five times a day? No thanks, I’ll take my chances with a god that gives me permission to kneel, or to walk away. My fate, if I should choose to do the latter, is on me.

"Conjure magic for them and they'll be distracted. Take away their freedom, and still they'll roar. The beating heart of Rome is not the marble of the Senate. It's the sand of the Coliseum. He'll bring them death... and they will love him for it."
