Ok maybe i didnt make it clear, what I was saying is that Religion has been used as an excuse for war. If you dig deep enough into the relevant beliefs and history of the key players I am sure some form of religious misgiudance is there. And if look at some wars, usually say between the seiks and the hindus, the muslims and the christians, then religion is definately the cause of these wars.

From that comment I assume that you (along with many others on this forum) have not properly researched Christianity and what it's about....

Its odd, but I dont see why I would waste my time researching something that offers me no comfort, something I dont believe in (and believe me I have tried, I used to go to church and I used to get stick for it) something that can inflict such pain on others, as in the church's views on homosexuality.
I agree with your views on same sex couples adopting children, yes fine they may be happy, but the kids are going to be tortured by the school bullies.
At the end of the day Russ, the one thing we all are is Human, and I certainly wont judge people on the basis of their chosen religion.
