Religion

Eric talks about religion in one of his posts.

 

He makes some very valid points.  Especially about using religion as a power.  He says it is not present only in Muslims and he is correct.

 

We are seeing that in the US even today.  We see people pushing Christianity every day.  There are a multitude of religious channels on television.

 

How many do you see that are not Christian or Christian based?  I have only seen one non-Christian religion-based television show.  And that show is on a Public channel in Springfield, MO.

 

Is that the best this country can do?  One pagan show for the millions of pagans out there?

 

Yes, religion is a power trip.  Look how the Pope has basically ruled the world for centuries.  All because he was a religious leader.  His predecessors have had people killed just for looking the wrong way.

 

And yet, we call the Muslims evil?  Yes, there are bad apples in every barrel.  We all know that.  But don’t condemn the religion for the acts of the zealots.

 

I know this is rambling an probably doesn’t make sense, but it really bothers me.
