I concur. Unfortunately, these beliefs have been the motivation for more human misery than all the wars of the 20th century. And plenty of Christians believe it is their sworn duty to proselytize. It's not as violent now as it used to be, but back in the day, getting burned at the stake was one of the easier ways they put down heretics.

Human organized religion can be a horrible horrible thing. Almost all the time, it becomes centered around people, instead of God. Humans forcing someone into saying they beleive, has no basis anywhere I can find. Its not about us at all. But people go on in ignorance. The same thing is happening today, with a lot of "preachers"(or whatever they chose to call themselves) literaly milking people for all their money in exchange for "blessing". People who think its all about them are getting fleeced in their selfishness. Sad sad...
