<Catholic-kicking is the only religious-baiting still smiled upon by polite society >
[I know I'm not polite society to some people [maybe most] but to me I am so I have to disagree]. Name the religion and I'll bait it for you, though Buddhists, Bahais and a few tranquil types seem harmless enough. Mostly though, religion is about some guy getting power, the money and the girls [or, in the Catholic case, the priests get the boys]. How many religions have women as the boss for example?
Many religious Jews are criminal cranks too! Look at the ethnic cleansing they did in Palestine for a start. Having suffered ethnic cleansing, you'd think Jews would be the last to indulge it. Zionism is the face of evil [if Zionism means the creation of a state which has superstition as the driving force].
Religions, being based on superstition and imaginary fantasies with no foundation in reality are inherently bad. A kind of Santa Claus for grown-ups. They do establish sensible rules for living in most cases, which is not a bad idea, but as far as the mystical mumbo jumbo goes, it's mostly a force for evil. They seem determined always to take power over other people and are always either burning witches at the stake, flying to Hale-Bopp, drinking cyanide in Jonestown, ethnically cleansing the heathens and generally conducting murder and mayhem or at least taking the money and power for themselves. Many of them seem to have a strong sexual orientation too and girls [and even life girl sacrifices] figure prominently.
Best to convert to reality instead of superstition.
Some people convert to beer, which I don't recommend either, either jet-engine cooled or CFC-cooled.
