The one thing that you miss, Shaw, is that the religious fundamentalists don't care. The don't much like the modern science-based world, and they feel like they don't fit, and so they create a world they like better. Can't really blame them for that. Our world is a bit of a mess. Do call me Steve. I haven't missed that at all. The thing is, just like me, you and everybody else, they are part of this world and would do well to espouse that fact. As a matter of fact, you may have noticed that these fundamentalists who "don't much like the modern science-based world", as you put it, make pretty good use of its technology. Even ISIS uses social media to put across their message, and, no doubt, to add to their billions. They may try to create, as you say, a world they like better. But they still use the internet in order to create it. I think it's about time you told them off.
