Anybody who this is invited to give evidence to the contrary.

The Roman Catholic church has too long & bloody a history to detail here; the inquisitions & exterminations of The Albigensian Crusade is a good place to start. Hitler was acting in the name of Religiosity and as compliance to Absolute Truth; Stalin & Mao likewise. The Theology of Roman Catholicism still accounts for suffering of millions and the mission of Mother Theresa doesn't bear to close a scrutiny either.

Be it Music or Atrocity - it's human beings who are doing these things, not God or some Higher Spiritual Being but they generallyu so in the name of Absolute Truth. Henry Purcell composed transcendant secular and sacred music in equal measure; Sun Ra spoke of being a member of the Angel Race and Don Cherry addressed his entire output to the service of God, as did John Coltrane.

And besides - no Religion has ever come up with a cure for disease, advanced medicine, pain killers, the invention of electricity, steam engines, motorcars, washing machines, power stations, violins, trumpets, CDs. MP3s or any of the other billions of technological and medical advances that make life increasingly worthwhile.
