It seems to me that for something that is ultimately about peace, there sure is a whole lotta war going on pertaining to it.
To the second: Why do the good people die young? The seemingly good people in the world seem to die because of a bad person's actions, like the soldiers currently fighting in Iraq, yet the bad people continue to live their lives, making money, or striking fear into the hearts of others, such as Osama Bin Laden.
Those really are the only two problem I have with organized religion. That, and their ideals are a lil bit sketchy, and they sometimes force you to do things against religion. I still like the Bible as a book of morals, but nothing else.
