Sympathy is for the devil...that's what I've heard.
While you're a little devilish sometimes (and an old whore, according to Big Sal), I think you're a great and funny person, a strong woman, and a good read.
I agree with a lot of what both you and Funkay expressed; interesting exchange.
I don't think religion is bad on its own, and I've seen the positive impacts it can have on individuals' lives too. To me, religion and spirituality should be private matters.
Religion becomes destructive when groups and governments interpret/manipulate it to control or conquer others, in my view. The number of war deaths and atrocities attributed to competing theological ideologies throughout history is staggering. Amazing that it's still happening on a large scale in many parts of the world today.
