Selectively chosen isolated incidents or words do not necessarily accurately reflect the big picture.

From the Moderator of alternative View's endnote:
“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It is simply too painful to acknowledge -- even to ourselves -- that we've been so credulous.” - Carl Sagan
.
This reminds me of Pinker, The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined. <-click

A good book by the way. The world is not as bad as Christian's like to claim.
