But the teachings are valid. They're just not how I see the world.

It's my foundation for love. Man made religion through manipulation is where I draw the line.

Historically, man/woman has used religion for all the wrong reasons. The zealotry becomes about control as opposed to love and acceptance

A lot of religiosity ends up being controlling and, in extreme cases, cult-based.

I believe in spirituality and morality, but trying to say only one religion is the right one has caused so much conflict!

And if these combatants would just stop and think about how many common points there are between all the religions... in the end, no one is wrong, so why fight over it?

It seemed kind of sad to me that a choice like that, which should bring peace, caused such torment for some.
