this thread is rife with tangents.
Yaweh is a big smiter. he'll smite the everliving shit outta ya. to me, that's why religions are bunk. it's so obvious that they are written by man to control man. I think a true religion is purely personal. no two people are the same, so no two religions should be the same.

You're right about the control part. Religions are like the military -- some people need structure, need to be told what to do. I'll stay away from both. |

 But your point is well taken. As one who was raised Catholic, I was fortunate to have learned from military priests who, on average, were much less dogmatic and much more practical than some of their old-world brethren. I don't think any religion can mean the exact same thing to two different people. Some religions and religious leaders can handle that and some can't.
