further proof, not sole proof. How about the Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, the Jewish Holocaust, the Bosnian genocide, just to name a few instances off the top of my head. Not to mention the continued subjugation of women in the name of all religions, the recent occurrences of the Iraq-American who ran over his daughter because she was too Westernized, the kidnapping of Jaycee Dugard by a religious nut, the sexual victimization of people by clergy who are in positions of authority, 9/11 . . . and on and on.

I've come to the conclusion that the evil that has been done in religions' name outweighs the good. It may be a narrow belief, but it's mine.
