WHEN will world leaders address the growing crisis; that religion causes religious extremism. |

It's a worldwide epidemic.

12. You can't compete with that! |
|
That's why making that claim should be illegal. You make a very good point.

extremism is unhealthy. There's really not much you can do regarding 'religion'. I certainly don't like saying or hearing that I'm 'religious', for believing in a higher power that made everything. It's a belief, not a religion. I believe the people that cause the problems are cult followers who like to subject their power over others - they're nothing more than bigots with a church affiliation to hide behind, and we need to continue telling them that when they stick their nose into politics trying to take away rights or prevent them.
I share your disgust.

a Christian. I got attacked enough from people who claim they're Christians, but when they find out I'm attracted to the same sex, they suddenly say I'm going against God, as if I purposely am controlling my attraction. Bah!
