News.com: Crypto Doesn't Kill - People Do

Posted by timothy on from the aa*jTYnd8-H//Im dept.

McSpew writes: "Bravo to News.com for telling the truth about cryptography. They even cited /.'s coverage of Phil Zimmerman's real views on PGP and its possible role in any terrorist acts." On a per-word basis, this may be the best summary of why calls to ban or restrict encryption technology (as with government key escrow, or constrained key sizes) has little to do with enhancing national or world security.

    You can be as tolerant as you like, but if the other guy is a crazy shit-eating lunatic it won't do you much good.

    The simple fact is that Christianity is a religion which has conquest at its heart. The basic message of Christianity is to convert or destroy non-Christians... and continue until the whole world is Christian. Christianity is a disease, and the East would be doing the world a favour if it exterminated every single practitioner.

    See, it works both ways. Only it seems that Christianity is winning.
