Thread Name: BS: Religion=good folk doing bad things?
Subject: RE: BS: Religion=good folk doing bad things?
Shambles - No, the main reason I entered this discussion was that I disputed the initial statement encapsulated in the title...the implication that only religion can cause good people to do bad things. That was a misleading and incorrect statement. It was an invalid implication. It indicates a form of chauvinism which I object to. It's as silly as saying "Atheism = good folk doing bad things?". Either way it's a statement of prejudice, not clear observation of human behaviour.

I guess I will post here, like you, as long as it still interests me enough to bother...we both have the same weakness in that regard, don't we?
