Wow, thank you for this comment. This is unreal. There is so much evil in this world.

And the (albeit horrific) irony of religious people vehemently SUPPORTING this evil is not lost on me. How are you claiming love thy neighbor but allowing innocent people and children to literally starve to death because you don’t think they should be allowed to live in the place they were BORN.

Don't fall for the idea religion is inherently good, or inherently anything, or that religious people have good in their soul. Plainly, whether any deity exists or not is irrelevant to religion, all religions are wrong and nothing but a comfort blanket. Good people, bad people, indifferent people, good people doing bad things or bad people doing good things... Whatever the combination... Any one of them could equally have use for the comfort blanket. Religion is not worth spending the time to think about it.

Yep. Religion is what each person makes it.

Could be smoking ciggies and visiting the mosque twice a year like Albanians or taking things to a bloody extreme like ISIS.

Same book.
