But 'ruhollah' ALL religions make the same claim EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM
Yours is no different to anyone else's including the 'Moonies','Orange People' and any other half baked organisation that found that if they claimed religious status they didn't have to pay taxes and can fleece a gullible public. Yes 'people should be free to make their own choices.' ...
please define "People" at what age does a child become this mythical "People" that can make this life determining choice??
Isn't it just a tribal standard that you are advocating here?? I have known many children who have more maturity @ age 5 than "People" have at age 75...what of this situation??
Further, what make you so certain that YOU know what is right or wrong for a society (global or otherwise)?
Who died and made you god?

Notice how I mentioned the average person... I understand that for you heavy metal songs won't affect your mind. That's because you are probably an above-average person and know clearly what is right and what is wrong.
I disagree there. My parents raised me to THINK inspite of their beliefs. I am no more exceptional than your averge bloke/ female

Until they find that the lyrics have no bearing on "Real Life" as opposed to "REEL life"

In otherwords ...prevents you from learning from your mistakes, wraps you up in mind altering dogma and strips you of your humanity so that you can become this wonderful slave and servant to the rich who are some how "more gifted, richer & genetically superior" to you??

ruhollah...it is all in the marketing... people will do as they wish, and buy what they wish based on marketting. Since when do we need 45 different versions of toothpaste? the same with tooth brushes? or toilet papier?
I am striving to point out that religion is a product that will sell itself to the highest bidder. At least prostitues are more honest...they have no delusions about what they are selling.
