Pope John Paul II

It is not religion is evil, it is the people who misuse it who are evil. People who go on crusades or crash aeroplanes into buildings are an extreme example, but there are plenty of smaller ones.

However to say "religion is evil" is as bad as to say "porn is evil".

Also it is sort of a recursive argument, because believing religion is evil is a religious belief in itself.

I've always used this important rule when it comes to forum posting...don't discuss Religion or Politics.

With that said People ruin everything...it doesn't matter what institution people look towards, they'll eventually ruin it.

Example:
Religion - Ruined throughout history by a small percentage of people who abuse its power.

Politics - Umm, yeah, lol, I really don't even have to say anything here.

Porn - The majority of good webmasters get this reputation from the few that abuse the situation. Would you like someone saying, "All Adult Webmasters are child pornographers" It happens, unfairly, but it happens.

If there was no religion, people would move to another institution and corrupt it and bastardize it and then the institution itself will / would be criticized instead of the fact that the human race sucks and they'll bring everything down.

So moral of the story...People suck, they can ruin anything given enough time, it's just their nature.

Exactly my point. I have told a number of people what I do and these are people who have known me for years and I thought they knew what kind of person I am but the first thing out their mouths when I tell them what I do is ohh geez you do that cp.
