It is quite interesting that the large dumb masses on the Internet think that people who even take up matters of faith are automatically narrow minded, have extremely conservative values and reject science completely.

Why? I mean, yes, we had a missionary at our school who was a complete arsehole (she tried to convert Jews in Jerusalem and called Muslims pests :O) and yes, old religious people can be "interesting" to say the least, but are we not forgetting the young and open minded religious people, who can think and interpret holy texts such as the Bible and understand that it is over 2000 years old and cannot be taken literally, because in its fundamentalistic form it is absolutely terrifying (bloodshed, hatred, intolerance, slavery, stoning women to death etc.).

Religion is supposed to be a way to happiness, love and spiritual enlightment. When given to man, we twist it into a means of controlling people and commit atrocities in its name for material gain and power... Look at the Crusades, the Inquisition, the burning of so-called witches and the ultimate monument to the corruption of Christianity; the Vatican and its Popes and other horrible power hungry monsters (I only hate the hierarchs in that Church, not its pious members). And I only mentioned the corrupted traits of Christianity...

Why the hell is humanity so stupid?! Even thinking about this makes my blood boil! I hope this text will not attract idiots to it; this is the only place I know that those elemantary school monkeys cannot find, so please try to understand.
