I don't mind religion, yet forcing obvious lies upon children is too much. They should decide what they believe in. Making them flunk school because they are fed such things is just...  The thing is, you can't fight them. So you look the other way.

A reasonable mind should be able to agree on the following, no matter if considering him-/herself a member of any religion, an atheist, or whatever. It comes to my mind because by chance I have watched again Kingdom of Heaven a very short while ago, and did so with a friend, and there is a scene where one knight says this:
"I put no stock in religion. I've seen the lunacy of fanatics of every denomination be called "the will of God". I've seen too much religion in the eyes of too many murderers. Holiness is in right action and courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves. And goodness - what God desires - is here (points to the head) and here (points to the heart). By what you decide to do every day, you will be a good man... or not (smiles)."
As we all know, in Texas just another Mormon sect had been dugged out. The ammount of sexual abuse seems to have been enormous, they now conduct genetical testings on the dozens of girls they found, as seems to be with the ammount of psychological damage and traumata done to many of the women. Another pervert has abused the will of people to believe in something so that they do not need to think and be responsible themnselves, and he did so in order to put his own desires at the centre of their yearning and acting, that way to feed his selfish drives and declare the evil he did by that as "holy". This is the very nature and essence of all religion once it got institutionalised. And that is why I hate and disgust institutionalised "religion" so uncompromisingly, and make mockery of it at every opportunity. Mormon girls and women are edcuated to look and behave cute and sweet and young as long as possible, whereas man can only find their way into heaven if they have at least three wives. That this fits together like lock and key hardly is by random chance. nor is it random chance that so many religious sects that often find a most dramatic or even lethal ending, so moften showed massive forms of systematic sexual abuse of even young girls. To hell with all these sick bastards preaching infantile garbage. Show me a person being
proud of his religion, and I show you a dumb and rotten mind.
