I always assumed suicide bombing was the religion of suicide, a convenient way for the pentagon's enemies to get rid of themselves as opposed to having to do it with military funds.

The biblical revelations are obtuse and open to interpretation, kinda like the rapture that didn't happen, and all the other raptures that were supposed to happen but don't. Buddhism is very clear on suffering being caused by impermanence and desire.
This has to do with the one world government because three of the major religions is about serving a system that is inherently linked to government, whereas Buddhism is not linked to any type of government.

Well Christians aren't really the smartest people in the world, don't blame me.
How does one avoid "nonchalance in regards to human suffering"?
Why should one avoid it?
Is there any intellectual philosophy that is 1.) true, and 2.) forces the believer to care at the core of their being about the sufferings of other people?

There are some false forms of Buddhism out there but if you want a philosophy that is about the logic of the absolute than original Buddhism is the place to go. The website has been shut down but you can find it by googling Aryan buddhism.
Basically Buddhism is about personal salvation through meditation so there is no room for a one world government. It's just not very likely that a U.S. president will be Buddhist.edit on 1-6-2011 by filosophia because: (no reason given)edit on 1-6-2011 by filosophia because: (no reason given)
