Well met again smax. I like to think that the whole responsibility thing has been resolved. You are no longer able to HONESTLY blame god/ satan for anything

True. And, this is the primary reason why I stand mostly opposed to organize religions altogher now.

While almost all religions preach and promote some basic moral good, they almost all promote some type of relative evil as well. In fact, many religious people are doing the world a huge favor by not carrying out the actual conviction and true practice of their religion. Because, if they were, the impact on society would be potentially devastating (see the dark ages, the crusades, the inquisition, the salem witch trials, etc., etc, etc.).

Fortunately, most religious people take their doctrines with a grain of salt. They somewhat practice the ones that are socially acceptable and not in conflict with their own personal interests while disregarding the ones that would actually challenge them to take rather harsh action against opposing forces of all kinds.

Unfortunately, some religious people are in fact religiously motivated and prepared to act on their doctrines and convictions, but they are a extremely small minority when considering the vast number of people who profess to believe in and serve some sort of god.
