You're right. It is unfair. It's just that the older I grow, the more I see the evil side of religion. In my teen years I didn't have a use for religion. In my late 20's I thought I had figured out how to overlook it and let people do what they want. Then the 2000 election came along and I saw how scary the religious right had become. Nowadays, there are times when I can't tell that much difference between the religious right and the Islamic extremists.
At a time when you'd think the general public would look at Islamic governments and say "Whoa, they have too much religion in their government", it seems we're trying to do the same thing but with a different religion. Seriously, in the middle of a "war", why did we have this big deal about gay marriage. Was it that serious of a problem?
