I have nothing personal against your son, you, or anyone else for that matter. But my frustration has to go somewhere sadly since you can only keep feelings in for so long. I am annoyed with Religion's influence on the world in general so it tends to piss me off. But I never mean anything personal ever. Apologies to you, your son, or anyone else who may have took anything I've said as a personal offence - I have never meant any personal offences. : " I don't even believe in personal offence" - if that makes sense. I don't get personal with people really (it seems :S).
I myself am personally interested in Religion because I am interested in the fact that it is so popular and yet I believe it is so toxic so I would like to do as much as I can (do 'my bit') to minimizing it (however little) if at all possible.

Is it "toxic" because it makes sinners feel guilty?
