Religion "PERIOD" is the root evil.

Nearly every war that has taken place was based on religion. Religions are all about recruiting and massing people of similar beliefs to silence those with dissimilar beliefs. Oh and if you don't like what's in one book, write your own. Why not, everyone else has.

What you say you don't acknowledge this prophet, start your own book. You say they won't let you murder your wife, start your own church. You say you need to study with people with a higher IQ, start your own religion. It's all a warm, steamy heat of dog dung. Religion and hypocrisy go hand in hand.

I do need a life, one without hypocrisy.
