a background of terrorism

One of the largest and safest airports in the world is bombed, 28 people die before midnight.  The stock market barely notices it.  It is plastered on the news, but it has become like wallpaper.  It colors the wall but how often do you really look at it?  The news says all the same things.   From it's just terrorism to the terrorists are trying to enforce their will on the rest of us.  Islam, Radical Islam, Subdivisions of Islam, in this case Kurds or perhaps it is Russians or the CIA, who really knows anymore.
The USA is overseeing more killings every week than any other group at present, and while muslims are killed by day, at night the president says we are not at war with Islam.  It is confusing, it speaks to a chaos and randomness that suggests that for all of our information and insight, we have no real civilization.
That most of believe in one or more fairy tale religions (if yours isn't the fairy tale than everyone else's is) and that we fight and kill and allow others to fight and kill in the name of them are two sides of the same coin.  We are, on average, a stupid, superstitious people.  
I like the beauty of religion, I'm saddened by the beautiful country churches of France that are slowly destroyed by the gentle breezes that make them such comfortable places to sit and contemplate the world.  But a wiser civilization hasn't figured out a way to save the good from the bad.  The bad boils over and kills randomly or on purpose. Die infidel, die Moor, speed the inevitable death in the name of whatever god demands we kill.  And those who have no superstitions, at least for man-made religions, have to kill to protect or avenge themselves, to have freedom from the dominance of crazed fanatics.  And at night their leaders confirm we are not at war with Islam, but we'll kill them to protect our right to not be Muslims anyway, we'll just call it something else.
AuT's weak link, apparent not actual mind you, is our feelings of self determination, our concentration of understanding, our ability to see so far into the fundamental origin of the universe.  Certainly that means we are something other than the outcome of the application of a single variable into an algorithm.  It sounds like a strong argument, but one of those random bits of shrapnel from one of our bombs or one of our enemies bombs should have killed me at one time or another, and yet here I sit.   We are stupid, little things.  We are no crown of creation, we are crowns of destruction.  We are proof that at its very highest achievement the universe is self destructive.  We know what we need to do and yet like the most ignorant of savages, we kill each other and subjugate each other in the name of random religious doctrines which make absolutely no sense.  In almost every case, there are those who would stone (or bomb) disbelievers for questioning obedience to ignorance.
We cannot make the case that self determination invalidates mathematical certainty unless we can control our own emotions and compartmentalize our superstitions.
There is no reason not to kill one another over these stupid fantasies with which we indoctrinate those too uneducated to defend themselves.  We don't have sufficient value to justify saving ourselves.  Well, maybe you don't.   I feel pretty good about my values.
