Wierd moment here in the office

So let's get this out first. I live and work in a very 'red' environment. In a very religious red environment. Overheard a converstation around the water cooler. It went something like this:

"I wonder if it really was that movie that cause the Lybian's to get angy and kill Americans? You have to give some credit for their unwaivering love and whole hearted committment to their faith. Willing to kill and die for their their faith. Some Christians could do with a little more committment to their faith."


WTF?
