Re:The Pledge of Allegiance

[/quote]I know I’m being dead pedantic, but I think you probably meant ‘religion’ not ‘faith’.

Faith is a belief in something bigger than you are, and never hurt anyone.

Religion is the bundle of strictures and doctrines that screws the whole thing up.

Faith never started a war, Religion is behind most of them. [/quote]

i totally agree!!!
i do believe organized religion is a totally seperate issue from someones true belief. religion has been responsible for more crimes against humanity than anything else in the world. we have only to look to the everyday news to see the corruption of Islam in the Middle East and even closer to home with the Catholic priest here in the US. i am very sad that religion has been corrupted in this way but this is something that has been going on for awhile and the only way to attempt to stop it is to stand firm on your own personal belief and hope that someone is listening!

btw i don’t mean that that religion of Islam is corrupt, i was referring to the corruption that is the fundamentalist sect.
