$50 bonus question:
Would any of us know this pastor's name (or that he even existed) if he hadn't threatened to burn a Koran?
Mission accomplished.
L. Ron Hubbard once said, "You don't get rich writing science fiction. If you want to get rich, you start a religion." Having read from both the Koran and the Bible, I wonder if religion and science-fiction (or what passed for it before Jules Verne came along) are not one and the same. They each contradict themselves (and each other) by the way, so I'm not sure reading the Koran will answer many questions for the unenlightened.
In any event, religion was developed as a form of crowd control back when the Earth was flat and we could barely start a fire to keep from freezing. It still persists today because many people feel they're not in control of their lives/destinies. Education in the U.S. has taken a major turn southward over the last 20 years and simultaneously we have Creationism museums popping up, the lawsuit-trolls from Westboro Baptist Church, and this jackass in FL. I'm not saying there's a conspiracy behind it but it wouldn't take much to convince me it wasn't a coincidence.
