I agree with your statement here Aesop.

I have been away for a while and didn't want to read all that has gone before. I still feel that there is a lot wrong in the world due to religious fanaticism. There are wars and strife brought about by organized religious sects, regardless of the faith they are associated with, Muslim, Christian, buddhist, etc.

But then, when I started this post I made it clear that "organized religion" is not something I adhere to.
