I believe C.S Lewis is dead wrong; sincerity is a vastly overrated 
virtue. If a person does the right thing for the wrong reason it's 
still the right thing, and if they do an evil thing for a sincere 
reason it's still an evil thing. Usamah Bin Laden is not a fraud, I 
think he believes in every word he says as do most of the worst 
monsters on this planet. I'll take someone who is insincerely right 
of someone sincerely wrong any day .
