Subject: RE: BS: Religion=good folk doing bad things?
I suggest that the sole purpose of all forms organised religion is to consistently show us what is good. Perhaps if this is thought not to be the case - some other definition for them can be found?

If as argued by some posters here in defence of organised religions - strictly following the doctrines of an organised religion is just as likely to result in us doing bad things as following a political party, making money or many of the other things that have been listed here - then perhaps organised religion should be judged as far worse than all of the other things listed?

If there is such a thing as a better good - perhaps organised religion can be thought of as a worse bad?
