New president IRAN: Wipe Israel of face of the earth !

If Iran attacks Israel, Tehran and all major Iranian cities west of it will become blackened glass fields. Years ago I would have assumed even Iran would have been sane enough not to do this, but now with tier new president and other likeminded individuals rising to positions of power in Iran, I'm not sure if they could be counted to remain sane, or whether they would believe that Allah would protect them from Israeli reataliation, or that their own national suicide would be worth the destruction of Israel. One thing's for sure, I certainly do not want them to posess nuclear weapons.

As for the reliegious dicussion, let me just say this: I am an athiest (former Christian) who became dissolutioned with organized religion. Lets face it, almost all organized religions have extremly questionable bits to their beliefs, like the Koran specifically calling for the destruction of Jews, ordering believers not to be friends with Jews or Christians, then theres also the infamous "slay the idolaters wherever ye find them". The Bible has plenty of nasty bits as well, especially in the Old Testement (thus by extension the Torah has these problems as well), including advocating mysoginism, slavery, summary execution of homosexuals, and genocide. Now, I'm sure there are many members of organized religions whose faith genuinly compels them to be altruistic, be they Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Jews or whatever. But in the end, organized religion has caused far more harm throughout history than good, which is why I want no part of it.
