Ed, you're making braod, sweeping generalities just like BS does....there are
plenty of religious people that believe in God and act in a Godlike
manner...Mother Theresa comes to mind as the first...Mahatma Ghandi secondly,
and the Dali Lama third....and there are many more....there are expceptions
everywhere...it is not religion that is badm it is what mankind does with it
that is bad....

Granted. Just as a gun is only a piece of metal, and poison is only a powder.
Religion is a tool for getting closer to God. That mankind often does not use
it for that end is not the fault of a religious system.
