Religion is like a knife
by R Dev on Jun 13, 2007 04:52 PM

You can use it to kill OR for other useful purposes.

A lot of people are decrying a lot of religions. A religion (any religion) is a way of life and no religion fundamentally endorses taking another life (which is not that of a soldier in a declared war - jihad does NOT mean killing innocents). Similarly no religion is ok with treating women as objects - they defined roles (mother, wife etc) which were fine in the day and age when the books were written. It is the responsibility of the religious leaders of today to INTERPRET THE TEACHINGS properly. It is our duty to force them to do so.

This approach is the only way to grow together and not end up killing each other off.
