This is just one of the many reasons I despise organized religion (and Mel Gibson). Though it does salve my distress a bit that the guy in the interview is a religious official who seems to have his head mostly screwed on right.
These people are just so scary. Religious zealotry is one of the few things I fear, because it's implacable and irrational-- you can't appease it (except by converting or dying) and you can't reason with it. All you can do is try to kill its adherents before they kill you.
