No ~~ Your first sentence is not my point. I am afraid that I think the teachings of some faiths are unacceptable, and that their effect is such as to misguide any who follow them. You will find two posts above from me where I spell out why I think a certain one is in this category; which has caused one well-meaner to object, as I say above, that I have 'singled it our for criticism more than others', as if that was against the rules and somehow not cricket: and another, who is frankly IMO a priggish intolerant fool, to foam at the mouth that I am a vicious ranting vilifier or something. Interesting that his repeated attempts to induce others on here to join him in denouncing me as such have not met with much success.

I repeat ~~ I would not call ALL the followers of any one 'good' or 'evil'; but I think it more misguided blindly to follow the teachings of some than of others ~~ tho those states in which the faith is legally the establishment, who will shoot you dead, judicially, for wishing to change to another, I really think are not playing the game. Can there be regimes in this 21C world which actually incorporate such a system into their judicial system? Well, we all know the answer to that, don't we?
