Quote:For all of religions faults, the ethics and morals presented in the pure form of ALL religions have provided a foundation for civility and a better quality of life. It doesn't take a genious to see the value of the Ten Commandments to every day life even without the religious context.
I can understand that. There was a time when I was quite fascinated with all kinds of religions and different cultures, so I did some exploring on my own. Every religion has it's positive aspects and negative points. I take what I like and leave the rest. The religions I became skeptical about were the ones that claimed to be the ultimate answer to life and then trying to force that will upon others. In many ways I feel this has been responsible for many, many conflicts on this planet.
Will it ever be perfect...hell no. If you are looking for perfection you've come to the wrong planet.
