"Read the Bible" someone says. The point has been made by people wiser than myself that part of the problem is too many people only look at the Cliff Notes version, if even that. Most simply follow the leader down whatever bigotted path they want to travel. Critical thinking is rarely a major feature of organized western religion, especially christianity.
