*crickets chirping* ..Perhaps I shouldn't have a say in it at all, facing the lesser part of the problem, being introduced to religion in the more or less conscious age. And pretty fast deciding that I wasn't gonna make religious institutions a part of my life. Faith and our earthly imposed media for it just aren't the same.
Ah, I can understand those quoting sacred texts for justification or excuse, but it makes me sad, this approach. Recalling history and how one word became a lever in a (politics-inspired, duh) crack between catholic and orthodox churches - does it make any of them less valid now?
.....oh. I should better stop now. I just hate it when religion has anything to do with state, when beliefs are turned from an inner guideline into a tool and a weapon.
