Not all atheists evangelize the dangers of religion and not all
   religious people are irrational and downright scary.

   The bishops did their job. Blessed stuff. The highly trained air
   force had a mission to go on later on. What was that mission?
   Happened to be Syria. It could've been something else.

   WHY did Russia bomb Syria?

   Well, then you're going into politics more than religion. The
   article is lying. It is hyperbole. It preys on ignorance of the
   public to the difficult political realities faced by large
   countries.. It is manipulative of our imaginations and in short:

   This article is FALSE.   I should correct the above. It's not
   preying on ignorance. The article preys primarily on
   confirmation bias: it's telling us exactly what we WANT to hear,
   so we believe it.   The power and influence of organized news
   media is far more detrimental.

   We've witnessed it happening right here, between you and I, just
   now.

   That's power.
