Wafa Sultan: Brother, you can believe in stones, as long as you don't throw them at me. You are free to worship whoever you want, but other people's beliefs are not your concern, whether they believe that the Messiah is God, son of Mary, or that Satan is God, son of Mary. Let people have their beliefs.

How very true.... some people could learn alot from this.
Personally I think religion is a uniquely human conceit - the implications of this are obvious to any who are willing to look.
But as far as I'm concerned you don't need religion to tell you not to rape children or murder your neighbours or steal or covet your neighbours ass (read that last one any way you choose
).
It's just plain old common decency - I have no confusion over this. Sadly many religions seem to be plagued with such confusions; what with the raping and murdering and proselytizing and expropriation, all in gods name.
There is no
