I am not full of hate. Far from it. But I do fear extremism. Social groups, governments and individuals, hurt, maim, use, kill their fellow human beings in the name of religion. At the very least they exclude others not like themselves and that is a psychic and spiritual murder.

I used to be one of the blind and intolerant masses, believing in and spouting scripture until I got a wake up call. A long hard time of self-reflection and not liking what I saw. I am now a recovering baptist. I won't fall off the wagon and back into the pew, I can tell you.

For your information, there is no torment like losing a child. The fire and brimstone of the biblical hell would be a nice distraction from the pain I am in.

Now talk about music or bugger off to the BS section.
