Religious tendency is not negotiable. Itâs what almost all of us are born with. Otherwise we would not see nearly every tribe and culture steeped in some kind of religion. So letâs not debate whether itâs good or bad, and just accept it. Like our tendency for sex, it leads to comforting and harmless activities if not perverted.
What I think about the afterlife destination of unbelievers has little affect on how I treat them, or how Jesus treated them. He said âLove your Enemyâ (infidels included). How is that a perversion of religion?
Some religions say that murder is not naughty. They are perversions. I think it is naughty, not because of my religion, but because its naughtiness is obvious. The link between morality and religion may be weaker than you think.
