JDN, I going to jump into this discussion with this observation. Religion is very like a tool. A hammer is a tool. Give one person a hammer and he will build a house. Give another person a hammer and he will use it to smash in the scull of the person who built the house and take the house for himself. The tool is not good or evil. Evil people do evil with whatever tool is useful and Good people do go with whatever tool is useful. Give 42 Senators a hammer and spikes and they will crucify a good and honest man to send a message.

To understand what happens in the world one only has to understand that their are good people and evil people and these people also label themselves as catholics jews hindus etc and as American and German and Chinese etc....

Their are many other labels like reverend and minister and priest and democrat and republican and liberal and conservative that are mostly good and decent people and these same labels are used by a few evil people to cloak and hide there true selves.

A good person does good and knows good, maybe? and an evil person knows evil and know good and will use whatever tools required to attain his own good. The limits of evil that a person will employ vary. The nature of evil people is to convince good people that some evil is ok because it's for a greater good.

Good is easy. Do unto or treat other's the way one would like to be treated. Evil is sometime obvious but many times is cloaked and hidden in the plan's of truly evil people.

The nature of good is to trust and the nature of evil is to use to advantage trust.

42 Senator's did and evil deed. 42 Senator's said a man of faith is a liar who cannot place his hand on a bible and swear an oath and keep. This man we will repudiate his character and integrity to make a political point. I do not think any of these Senators would want to be treated this way.

If one understands what I've said above then one is equipped to do good and hopefully see most evil. Evil people who are smart know well that what I have said above is the truth, the whole truth and the way of the world.
