Perhaps you were, and I misunderstood you. I still believe I disagree however, the nature of most religions is a deep seated tolerance, acceptance and love of other people. Sure it can be abused, but it mostly acts as a brake to prevent abuse from happening. Without a moral guidepost, societies tend to fracture and create climates of dangerous rigid intolerance, where God becomes the all powerful central government power structure.

Dear D, the basic fallacy of your mind is you try to ascribe the actions of stupid or evil people who mask their intent by fooling the stupid. They also fool the foolish and cause a nuisance for the good folks who have to put up with the foolish talk of the fools. As has been said, mountains of good are done by many who Belief in and have reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe. A few pervert the message and do harm that is far more visible but much less by thousands than the effects of the good. A gun is not good or evil. A person does good or evil, not a religion. tom watson tosiwmee
