I'm surprised they are being that liberal in the criteria. At least they didn't include "virgin" on their list. This one is almost too true to be funny. Christians indeed.

religions has practiced terrorism one time or another all over the world. great political satire

Yeah. Christians don't have inquisitions, witchhunts, religious wars between Catholics and everyone else, crusades, or any of that stuff. You know a thousand years ago minority Christians and Jews danced in the streets in joy at being liberated from Byzantine religious persecution by Muslim Jihad. There are more commandments to practice religious tolerance in the Koran than in the Old and New Testament combined. That was before the Mongols conquered Islam. An English Lord once said that he supported the Church of England as a bulwark to keep real religion out of England. We should not let us enemies tell us who we are. We should not let nutcase Muslims define us as 'Christians'.

The great humor of this piece, alas, belies the sad story of the contemporary world.

Climate change, resource depletion, the endless mutual victimization and exploitation between different groups that continue to plague the human world (all of which have contributed to the current refugee crisis)... One hears so often about them one has virtually grown numb...

A sense of humor in this respect would seem all that's left in keeping us from complete despair. Your piece provides a great dose of it!
