Just who would "they" be in your last post Amos?

I suspect extremes exist for just about everything. Luckily, the extermes are the exception in most cases, which I suspect is the case with parents passing on their belief in a God to others, including their children.

There are certainly cases where other social, economic and political agenda is intertwined in the messages. That is where the human folly associated with organized religion enters, not the belief in a God itself.
