    I've said it before.

    Religion is simply politics seasoned with the extra confidence that comes from thinking that the Creator of the Universe has your back.

    What makes things all the more confusing is the fact that most people beleive that there is, at most, one God but as we all know theres more than one set of instructions.

    Add to that the fact that the set of instructions Christians believe specifically states that we should love our enemies and respond to evil with kindness and one is forced to a singled inescapable conclusion. These people are WHACKED!
