I watched Bill Marre the other night, and he took his usual jabs at religion and religious for inspiring terrorism, oppressing women and others, and generally doing bad stuff in God's name. I only disagree with Bill to the extent that he believes that the world would be a better place without religion. I rather tend to believe that religion is just a convenient excuse for the bad things that people will find a reason to do anyway. Bad guys like Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Pol Pot did not need religion to justify their crimes - they just reasoned that their ends justified the means.
Anyway, that's the deep thought for the day.
