    As much as I resent religion, I do believe it’s fundamentally a human problem. People everywhere have a tendency to corrupt beliefs in order to justify being assholes to one another.

      Religon was created as a control mechanism for governments that didn’t have the capability to enforce laws.

      It’s a method to make communities self police.

      Today it is a dangerous tool left lying around for any con man to pick up and weild

      That’s why fascist movements always have a religious/nationalist base.
