I love it when a quote of mine gets put into a different context and thus the content is given a completely different twist.

No, this is not a case of 'better the devil you know than the devil you don't'.

And I think that is clear by what I originally said. And what I originally said is not that I do favour the one over the other, but that I despise both. If chruches, mosques and synagogues would get burnt dopwn and Bible Quran and Thora gets destroyed for once and forever, the world woul become a much better, less hateful place.

I recommend to read chapter 7, sub-section 3 (chapter headlines in the German edition would be "Das 'gute' Buch und der wandelbare ethische Zeitgeist - Liebe Deinen Nächsten") of Richard Dawkins' "The God Delusion" where he summarises the experimental results from psychological research done by Israeli psychologist George Tamarin. The way that religious indoctrination already present in the heads of small kids decides on whether genocide is recognised by over a thousand school kids he questioned in his experiment as a moral abjection or a cause that can be morally justified, is a revelation.

The whole book is.
