"Belief" to me is a dirty word - religion is a crutch for those weak of self conviction.
Within the narrow confines of Good and Evil religion falls squarly into evil. Often on these forums we sit on our high horses and criticise extreme muslim actions while conveniently forgetting such actions as the Crusades. Had we the means then that we do now I dont think the middle east would exist beyond being fried to a large plate of glass. Of course we regard ourselves as more mature now and that is possibly the only reason we can consider ourselves better than the muslim extremist threatening our way of life.
I dont hate religious people and I find it very hard to be tolerant of even those who dont shove it down your throat at everytime. All I can feel is pity for the weak minded, wasting their life following a non-existant deity with some made up rules that get updated every now and then.
