Yeah, I normally refer to Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, etc, as Theologies and not religions. Unless you are speaking of organized religion, that has a whole different context.

But I find it sad when people do not have the conviction to question what they are being told. That they don't actually read their literature. Oh they will feign to and turn around and parrot what they were told at the building of worship. What good is having a free will without using it? Personally it took me 10 years of study to really get a handle for my opinion of what the bible said.

and if I was picking between Mystic Megs and Pat Robertson’s of the world, I'd go with Megs. Their name is not tied to a great pacifist and I will never have to read about one of them saying a certain person or group of people should be killed knowing they are supposed to exonerate that pacifistic personification.
