If only we were all mature enough to do so and not divided up in all the often opposing sets of beliefs and subcultural standards. Many people have a hard enough time being honest with themselves. Many people also probably wouldn't appreciate some other people's honesty, especially if that someone is being brutally honest and/or coming for a very different point of view. But I know what you mean and appreciate the sentiment. High thumb!

@truth4004 The problem is how religion can be used hatefully by individual people. It depends on your community and its spiritual leader. But it's also very complicated in general. There is a deference and respect given to a priest (etc.) by their congregation and the "Yes Father" and other call and return during a service psychologically re-enforces the message. Sometimes that message isn't very kind or enlightened. And any charismatic leader who can also use scripture to reinforce their message can cause a lot of damage - even make people you thought had common sense say and do things that are nonsense. All the different forms of Christianity often get bundled together as well when talking about religion in the west (the same way people often do with Islam and Judaism) and that makes the holy water even more muddy. And then there are the nuns. Nuns made my mom and two of her other three siblings, all raised in the catholic church and attending catholic school right through high school graduation in a small Ohio town, all decide their children were not going to be raised in the church or attend catholic school. Personally I've settled on being a devout agnostic. God only knows it's the best I can do without a little divine intervention because, nothing personal, I just can't trust any other human being about something as important as my eternal soul (if such a thing even exists).
