right...and it is one of the things i am speaking of.
Christians don't say "God hates fags" but certain aspects of it can be translated that way. It is the other way around as well...it's all in your understanding. Unfortunately, I feel, the people in charge of organized religion add in their own beleifs or prejudices and teach their twisted understanding...whether intentional or not.... so some christians teach fags are bad and some muslims teach to kill infidels. It is worth noting that there are plenty of happy christians are and tolerate homosexuals and there are muslims that do not want to kill the infidels...
In those aspects i agree with you on the bad stuff about religion, but i look at that as organized religion....the average church and church go'er is not like that....
I personally do not go to chruch nor am i very religous but local churches and religous organizions so a lot of good for a lot of people......you can't take that away from them because their Executive officers screw up... I am not only talking about food drives and other charitable events....i refer to the whole right and wrong thing. YOU may not need someone in a fancy robe with an old book telling you what is right and what is wrong.....but some people DO.... I feel if a lot of people in this country did have the fear of god in them, they would not do a lot of the things they do. When you get "brainwashed" as a kid that god is always watching....that transcends into adulthood....
