Ever wonder about that, how you would manage to drudge through your existence if you were transported to some other time or place, when pillaging and raiding (and raping) were relatively common and tolerated, if not entirely accepted or thought of as a moral "good"? Do you think that you might try to convince a few of them not to do that?  How would you go about it, understanding that they don't believe what you believe?

Would you preach the gospel...or something else?

(I agree with you entirely on that last sentence btw, Wink )

The irony is so rich it could be used as a synthetic hemoglobin replacement.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
