I'm simply not aware of any of it's good qualities (I can speculate though!). From my POV, everytime religion even approaches something decent it manages to fuck it up in a positively glorious way - as per those examples you offered. The christian religion revolves around adherence to superstition and ignorance. That is the -sum total- of christianity. It has nothing to offer me (and it's core value is the most disgusting single thing that I can think of). If I want to overcome an obstacle - I push through the foe, to the objective - to triumph overall. I don't waste my time praying to thin air - waiting to be lifted on the wings of angels.
