The thing about religion is that we shouldn't believe it because it's FALSE, not because it's BAD. Something could be BAD but TRUE. I find it odd that both religious and anti-religious people often miss this point and talk about the good or bad effects (respectively) of religious belief. -- Stathis Papaioannou -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
