The purpose of religion is simply to convey the message that the
universe was created by God, in whom we should trust (graciousness is
always rewarded), and life is a sojourn to do good and to shun evil.
Everything else is secondary.

Nonsense. Religions are a crock of rules that convey anything but the
above, Islam more tha most. You want to be spiritual, be spiritual, you
don't need Islam for that. God really doesn't care which direction you
face
and which hand you wipe your shit with.

? amen, Dave. Organized religion is the worst pandemic ever visited upon
humankind.


Organized *anti*-religion racked up an impressive body count during the last
century, but it's true that organized religion has been a plague for much
longer.
