The more people talk about religion here, the more I'm thankful I'm not devout.
me too...i am a catholic not because of the blah blah blah....
but because of the humanity and compassion i see around me...
gone are the days of the crusades, the inquisitions and the witch hunts and burning at the stakes...
while still today we see muslims killing fellow muslims in the name of Allah....
we see members critical of the church held against their will....
let us not forget that even the devil can recite scriptures...
look at what happened in the Guyana massacre where 900 members
were systematically poisoned....or the hell that was Waco in texas....
or the ISIL burning and looting and rapng in the middle east...
indeed it will be a tragedy of the worst kind when any church member
gets martyred not by the enemies of the church but by the hands of his brothers...
Abel and Cain re-enacted....
