It Is Time We Realize That Belief Is Not A Private Matter. As A Man Believes, So He Will Act. Believe That You Are A Member Of A Chosen People, Awash In The Salacious Exports Of An Evil Culture That Is Turning Your Children Away From God, Believe That You Will Be Rewarded With An Eternity Of Unimaginable Delights By Dealing Death To These Infidels—and Flying A Plane Into A Building Is Only A Matter Of Being Asked To Do It.
