I'm just a bit confused by the term "apple polisher". But hey, I can't even speak any other language well, so kudos for effort.
What Lastpoet said. People should be taught how to think more than what to think. Evil is also somewhat arbitrary for a term. When a cat eats a mouse, the mice may define the cat as evil, but it was only acting according to its nature. And the nature of most religion is to make people followers, not independent thinkers. So some may follow their leaders in to a homeless shelter and help feed them and help them find work, while others will follow into a building with a bomb strapped on.
Anyway, welcome to the forum. I hope you enjoy your stay.
