Life in the Face of Ridiculous Odds

A fascinating video from Moxie, a former Jehovah's Witness, about her revulsion from the "genocidal" wishes for mass exterminations implicit in mainstream religions' various forms of Armageddon. I think particularly of note is how this piece, much like the works of Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins, lay responsibility for religion's less brotherly aspects at the feet of its moderates: even the moderate and reasonable adherent to an Abrahamic faith still believes in and hopes for the eradication of this world, which includes the death of billions of those who subscribe to different faiths or no faith at all.
