are unbelievers and interpret their religion as requiring them to kill

letters from people who believe space colonization is blasphemous.
People's motivations are not only economic, and simple displaying power
by hurting weaklings is surprisingly popular. >>
Just keep in mind that such people tends to be in minority. More to point,
such people tends to be open about their desires to act on their ideology
long before actual harm. The talk about "he seem like such a nice guy" after
acts say very little and are often false, more of a ritual for the media.
However, I want us to take a care here. General fear like what we are
discussing here of the ideological violence can become uncontrollable anixety
if those theories are allow to run without facts. Just because one BIll
wrote a letter complaining about space colonization being against a god's
will, dose not mean there is a plot. Any actual and serious plots will
involded a very small group. Most people who want to stop us will use other
means than violence and will tends to not risk their persons by trepressing.
