Does religion corrupt morality?

[Napoléon]

Well, to be fair about it there are passages in the Bible and in the Koran telling people not to abuse the poor but some people still pee in their faces.  People will always follow their own rules to satisfy their own desires.  Bigots will always use their favorite ethnocentric Middle Eastern Jewish or Arabian religious fairy tale to oppress people they don't like.

Missing my point.

It's not that there are good passages in either book. It's that there are bad ones.

And funnily enough the good ones don't discount the bad.

If you magically had a book that was just full of nice stuff, maybe we could go around saying it was all down to people's fucked up 'interpretations'. But I don't really think it's a great argument when there's already plenty there to justify bad behaviour.
