Religion is soiled.

Now hold on don’t go crazy just yet. Knowing and acknowledging God is great, but the dogma of the faiths, soiled it for me.
It’s funny how man can take something pure and corrupt it. Turn it into something to control people and gain power and wealth from it.
Crusades on down to the Christian right preaching hate for everyone not like them. Yeah it does happen, personal experience a guy at our college died of aids and people protested his funeral. Holding signs saying God kills Gays. Real Christian Like.
Is it not suppose to be. Love the sinner, and hate the sin.

Jesus was a radical. He was a feminist and for the equality of all. He preached forgiveness and understanding. A lot of Christians forget this.
Not to mention that he fought against the Jewish priest and the organization of religion. Now Christianity a huge dogma and a billion dollar business. I wonder what Jesus would think of it.

Muhammad was a humanist, wanting to bring all men together. Look at all the hate in the mid east, between Sunnis and Shiites.

Man can taint everything.
