Umm, does that mean they can't eat salamanders?


Only the tails.

Yep. Unfortunately, religion is not a force for good in most
people's
lives, though. It's a way of feeling smugly superior to all others
("you're going to Hell and I'm not, nyah nyah"), a way of justifying
their prejudices, and a rationalization for cruelty & robbery.

Whatever slight positive effect on morality religion might have is
due
to fear of punishment, which IMHO is not really anything to brag
about.


Huh? You must be catholic.
