I think Olddude, that much of the vitreol we see on these pages directed aginst religion is politically inspired, "Christianity" and other religions are erroniously viewed as bastions of conservatism and an obstacle to the furtherance of the "liberal" agenda.

I view myself as a radical, politically left, and socially I try to live by reason, regardless of whether my views are regarded as left or right.

True Christianity is a fine philosophy, with the added spiritual element for those who feel the need of it.....and there are many millions who do.

Why do the "gods"who walk among men wish to deny them their comfort?
