Granted it's all a perspective given on personal experience, it was an interesting read. I'm sure different people will have a different take on your philosophy and beliefs, but I'd like to see some serious responses to it. Religion has it's benefits and consequences as well as it's dark and light sides. There are always two faces to the coin no matter what it is. I'm certain there are more sheep born into a religious belief then there are actual believers who study and do their research on the subject matter. It is these small, yet large, differences that make all the difference in judging a religion and it's followers.

I'd type up a more elaborate response to your post but, to be honest, I just really don't have the motivation to do so right now.
