Your personal beliefs are welcome. As I have said often: Dialogging is about the sharing of ideas without any personal attacks. If you want to tell me that I am an arrogant S&*#@%^# use the personal message system.

My philosophy on religions...is basically that they do more harm than good...
If you said "sick religion" and then gave us a true example or two, I could agree with you.

"Harsher parts of life"? Have you ever read about the crucifixion of Jesus and others? And what happened to Christian martyrs in the early centuries? In many parts of the world it is still happening. The minister who baptized me lost his life, when his mission boat sank, in Newfoundland. My wife and I almost suffered the same fate in Labrador.
