Hello, TC.
You do have a bit of a burden to overcome with that last bit.
Yes that is one excess of religion. However there has been much more deaths in the past in the name of religion, i do not deny that. But there has been much more good done in the name of religion than bad.
What's more, terrorist are a VERY small percentage of theists ! how many attacks have been done in the name of Islam in Western countries in the past years ? 10 ? 20 ? Compared to tens of millions of muslims in the world, this is NOTHING.

Cherry picking much?
It is not cherry picking, you are trying to categorize me into a specific mindset that you are used to see. I believe that the Old Testament is the embellishment of the story of a people. I do not believe in ANYTHING supernatural that happened in the Old Testament. I am not cherry picking.
