Human perfection. Whether we like it or not. Justice, peace and virtue. That concept of the beneficent, omnipotent will of God and the need to always submit to it, whether we like it or not, is not new. It has been present in varying degrees throughout history in all three great monotheisms—Judaism, Christianity and Islam—from their very origins. And with it has come the utter certainty of those who say they have seen the face of God or have surrendered themselves to his power or have achieved the complete spiritual repose promised by the Books of all three faiths: the Torah, the Gospels, the Koran. That is where the smile comes from.

When the Presidents of the U.S. and Iran speak as much about God as
about diplomacy, we have entered a newly dangerous era. The Islamist
resurgence portends the worst. Imagine the fanaticism of 16th century
Christians, waging religious war and burning heretics at the stake. Now
give them nukes. See the problem?
This guy got it. Excellent clip.
