I personally don't have a problem with FAITH. MY problem is with organized religion.
People can gain strength from faith and there's nothing wrong with that. I might see it as weak, but if it benefits them, who am I to say faith doesn't help people.
Organized religion on the other hand is little more than a tax exempt big business that takes advantage of it's forum by spewing hate towards certain groups under the guise of a belief, all the while preaching, "love your fellow man". All of THAT is based on nothing more than THAT church leaders INTERPRETATION of a book. Why will one priest say being gay is a hell bound sin, yet another will marry a gay couple with no second thought? That being said, even organized religion CAN do good things, like food drives etc.
The bottom line for ME is believe in what you want but don't ram it down my throat or judge me based on what I believe in, because I'm not judging you. And don't spew hate disguised as a "belief".
