34. A small eight.
What was it that both bound and dismembered Christian Europe? What is it that connects the Muslim crescent from the Caucuses to Indonesia? What Tribes still wander that keep Passover? Of the three major religions in the west,who claims the Old and New Testaments? If a Chinese is a Taoist and a Japanese a Shintoist and can either be Buddhist?
How about charity? How about human rights? How about education? How about the fundamental dignity of man? The right to life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness endowed by his creator? How did they come up with that idea?
We all recognize the failures. The death and prejudice done in the name of religion. If it is "the" evil then are we not bound to remove it from the face of the earth? Odd that it would be protected in our constitution don't you think?
So where is your tolerance in all this? Human oh,so human.
