My faith works for me, but I see no need to push it on others.

The Majority of Religious people I know are very good people. Can you say that about any other group?

Not the freaks I know! They try to justify every move by "oh ,God must have wanted it that way" or "It was written out like that"

It's not so much the flock but the shepherds of religion that are the problem

At the risk of sounding argumentative, I have to disagree with you. I believe we are each divine and we are each capable of evil. I believe religious people act as though they are good because they are afraid they will go to hell if they don't.

Maybe..but so what? I judge people by their actions. Frankly we have no idea what lies in someone's heart...except our own.

Why judge someone by their actions if we don't know what's in their heart??

Intolerance and stereotyping are the poison. But in this forum, EVERY discussion of religion turns poisonous.
