Religion, even if it has got some positive elements, is in fact based on something, which is totally a fig of imagination of humans. In this age when every thing can be explained in a very natural way without any diety's intervention, i really see no reason why we should stick to any kind of religious crap. The question of it being good or bad only arises when it really states any kind of scientifically testable things. Until then, I don't see any point in discussing it being good or bad.

This is actually covered in detail in the gay handbook on page 32, starting at paragraph 6. It's the solem duty of every gay and lesbian not to have too good a sex life, lest we inadvertantly bring ruin upon our communities. So far we've done pretty well. As for San Fransico... well, we all get carried away every now and then. I'm sure you understand. Indeed. This is actually covered in detail in the gay handbook on page 32, starting at paragraph 6.

Remember Mel Gibsons movie? Also religions like Islam does not forbid slavery - its founder even had his share of slaves for both work and sexual pleasure. the main cause of murder and hatred wasn’t religion, like the Holocaust or slavery

There definatly is an element that is trying to explain to universe, and whitout any knowledge whatsoever, it's really not that strange to say the sun is pulled by a carriage. Of course, organised religion is probably the worst thing that ever happened to humanity. well, religion isn’t solely a tool to controll and surpress the population.

The first (which can be described, in European terms as), "Roman," was entirely based on economics (pre-industrial; pre-"plantation", if you will). The second phase included a religious part: in addition to the economic reasons, there were those who argued that it fulfilled a Biblical Imperative for the enslavement of the "Sons of Ham," which was interpreted to mean "Africans" (by the apologists of race-slavery). Even the Holocaust had at least a quasi-mystical portion (even though Hitler has motives attributed to him which properly belong to the Vice-Chancellor who surrendered himself to the British). However, the point you made about these not being the *main* causes is well-taken, and inarguable. I just think that we need to be careful to treat complex issues in a complex manner. For example, the fact that the kook Rabbis in the piece above attribute a religious motive to what is essentially a ignorance-motivated (and hate-motivated, etc.) argument. Religion gets tied up in it because it is a convinient shield for the prejudice they are spouting. Is that what you are trying to say? I think so, but correct me if I am wrong in my reading here . . . Irish, my friend, are you aware that there are two distinct phases of slavery?

There have been some instances in history where the main cause of murder and hatred wasn't religion, like the Holocaust or slavery. I was just trying to say religion is not the cause of ALL the troubles in the world, but it's damn-sure responsible for enough of it to make me hate it. I’m not sure I made my point clear enough.
