I hate religion because it distorts the original teachings which confuses any possible meaning there might have been, and I hate religion becuase of the destruction it has caused. If you think about these reasons it is apparent that the religion itself is not the problem with me. Much like the Bible actually says that the love of money rather than money itself is the root of all evil.
Religion, like money and love and governments, are manipulated and abused, but for me the problem is that it is human nature to not pay too much attention to what is actually going on. The monsters that have abused and manipulated governments, love, money, science, and religion would not have been possible if people would pay attention to what is going on and be accountable to that.
PURPLE RABBIT!?! DID YOU HEAR THAT?!
That is why I get bent out of shape when militant Atheists are equally ignorant as Xians are. And why a similar sort of blind devotion to science frightens me.
