Subject: Re: Religion


the point you make here is valid. there are good
points and bad points about all religions. no religion
is innocent, but i think that's because ppl feel the
need to organize it, which thus bastardizes it. when
you organize a religion you bring itsdownfall. no one
has a copyright on god, which is what religious
leaders seem to delude themselves into thinking they
have. god is a relative interpretation of the
believer.
