And he speaks for all Christians? How about holding up the Pope or Mother Theresa as an example, aren't they a tiny bit more representative?
Sea Dangles, every large group has terrible people. What defines a group isn't a couple of wackos, it's what they are doing by and large. For example, my Church is the Roman Catholic church. Every single night, our neighbors get free healthcare, housing, food, and adoption services , courtesy of the church. That says nothing about the spiritual benefits provided to those who choose to believe.
To you, those things may mean no more than a Bach piano movement means to an ape. I say that because you seem to be very derisive about religion, despite your earlier denials. But those things mean a lot to a lot of people. And study after study shows that people of faith are more charitable, and identify themselves as happier, than those who are secular.
