Yes, the religious do it too and all the time, and it angers me just as much when they do it as when you have done it. <br /><br />I don&#39;t claim to be loving or kind, or anything or anyone but Ylanne Sorrows, and I resent anyone who tries to label me anything, or who tries to tell me that I present myself as anything. I agree with the point of your article, nevertheless. <br /><br />Religion is inherently dangerous. I believe it is neither necessarily good nor bad, but can be good. . . and has great capacity for evil. Check out the Crusades. Or Usama bin Ladin. You know what I&#39;m talking about. <br /><br />But that doesn&#39;t mean that everyone who believes in God is necessarily part of organized religion either. I&#39;m not. Used to be - realized how much I felt that religion gets in the way of God, and now, I count myself as a person who believes in God. Not religion.

They represented over 165,000 people who suffered physical violence, sexual abuse and sometimes death at the hand of god-fearing priests and nuns over many decades - many for the heinous crimes of being &#39;born out of wedlock&#39; or born into poverty.<br /><br />There are your dangerous Christians for you.<br />The problem, however, is not with the individuals. The rapists/abusers are to some extent mentally ill or maybe a little simple.<br /><br />The real problem lies with a system the allows the abuse to continue, and not only that protects and often reveres the dangerous dogma that creates the problem in the first. The mother that says &#39;shh&#39; and the government inspector that kisses the bishops ring.<br /><br />If there is a place for this mythology in society, it should never ever be with authority.Pinkydeadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14677002754220215441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588121241085894059.post-4578845120329741712009-06-08T21:54:00.056+09:002009-06-08T21:54:00.056+09:00Well that is sad to say the LEAST!tina FCDhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10037896362034609151noreply@blogger.com
