Jim, what turned you against religion BEFORE they got involved in the abortion battle and the gay marriage battle? Those came about in the last few decades. Were you ever a supporter of faith based living?

The Salvation Army is one of the biggest charities in the world and it is a Christian church.

According to Wikipedia, the wealthiest charitable foundations in the world are much less humanitarian in their projects than religious organizations.



What made me turn against religion.....I woke up and smelled the coffee. I saw the stupidity and hypocrisy of religions. Now we are talking about evolution well one thing for sure evolution does exist....just take a look at the various religions and the diversity of the different sects within and see how they have evolved......some of the rituals and customs and man made gobbledygook that go along with it are laughable and embarrassing..they only get away with it because it is in the name of religion..some are seriously harming. Whilst some churches DO great charitable work others do more harm than good by meddling. They want everyone to live by their rules regardless of whether we all agree or not.
