Religion and Freedom?

[Thorne]

i feel that it is a good thing that FINALLY we are getting to the point that we are able to openly discuss the pitfalls of religion and the very real harm that it has caused to the totality of the human community... especially the LGBT community and its auxiliary communities... like the BDsM community.

Very true. In the past, saying such things, and especially writing them down, would have been likely to get the author executed, generally after a long period of torture (and not the good kind, either). But I feel that the worst atrocities of religions, at least the major dogmatic religions, are their virtual enslavement of women. For this crime alone, the enslavement of half of the human race, these religious institutions should be dismantled and destroyed. Add in the unscrupulous act of brainwashing children and the abomination of religion is clear.
