Dear author:

The Truth is that economics and greed is the religion of those that would use violence, religion and fear to get there so called holy message across. Just ask the American Indians how they came to be Christians. Gun in one hand the bible in the other asking where's the gold. Face it religion has been used as a means of conquest. All, through the history of man kind. Do we dare ask where the followers of the church where, when Africans where being kidnapped both men and women. Stolen or bought and sailed in hell on the way to the west. While the man with the cross around his neck, stood an African man up in front of his wife while he cut out there child from her whom and stomped on the fetus till it was dead (personally I would rather just have my head cut off). Where was the church when the Europeans raped, pillage and murdered there way across the world in the name of Christ.

In conclusion; Religion is a way for people to find peace or purpose, and guidance in their life. It is not a company you can sue or blame for each has his/her own personal journey through this life there-fore you can not blame the many for the actions of a few. As a wise man once said and Eye for an Eye make us all blind.
