than the good it has done. Religion has stifled free thought, massacred countless innocent people, burned libraries, and is the bane of humanity. There have been truly good religious people that have compassion but they are drowned out by the masses. I assume that you are a christian, and that you do not know that religion has evolved from man's own ignorance. It's funny that christians think Genesis is original to the bible, when in fact they plagiarized the stories from ancient Egyptian creation myths, and that even those stories were predated and ripped off from earlier stories and so on. Like language, Judaism, Islam, and Christianity all come from the same root, split and evolved into what they are today. When I start to speak of the history involved with religion, people like you begin to squirm and change the subject to what the bible says, instead of what the bible means in context of history. Religious people are dangerous because they are irrational, choosing fantasy over reality, and ignorance over knowledge.
