But why are you so negative about religions? In my opinion they are (more or less) neccessary. Many people need something to hold on, something to explain the unexplainable. Even now, though science has found out alot of things and can tell you how thunder, lightning and tide happen, there are things that are beyong our reach. And it is not true, that religion is the prime cause of death. Was WW II a religious war? how bout WW I? There surely are wars happening and have happened due of religous reasons, but it is not all. As you said yourself(in point 1) it is mainly what the humans make out of it. The human being was always able to fight itself and only because of power. It might give the impression, that the war was about the religion, but in reality I think it was about the greedy kings/governments that want this or that, to gain power/money/whatever. They justify it(like your quote in point 10) by using religious means. Anyway, goerge bush is an idiot. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not a top religious guy, wanting to damn you to hell with satan and 26 years of pain and suffering, if you don't buy your soul free of sins(the jolly good old catholics in the 16th century=P), but I hope you might realize, that you were a little too harsh. The purpose of religion being to kill innocent people?? Come On! Well anyway, I answered to this post and thats what I wanted. So anyway, see you around and I still ain't sure if I'll be able to pay the moot 2010... I'll have to check our international coordinators, if anything is planned. Hope you have a great time in Spain. Or denmark? I lost track... sorry. Anyway hear from you sooner or later! Yours, Jakob Hey Vilhelm,
