[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 833270, member: 22662"] The problem we have in quoting Payne (Paine?) is that his conclusion, if it can be called that, is simply unsupported by history. "It is a history of wickedness..." is indeed obvious and easily demonstrated. But to suggest, "...that has served to corrupt and brutalize..." belies fact. The fact in this case is that man of every time and culture from east to west, north to south has been corrupt and brutal. This is not an injustice done upon a lowly, unsuspecting, innocent human race, but an indictment on a humanity that given the wealth, resources, knowledge, and aptitude for kindness and generosity has chosen instead to engage in a senseless struggle for more and more without regard to environment or others. In short, religion has never created the evil it seeks to expose, but Payne would have you believe otherwise. Case in point: Islam did not create the terrorists that mock it's teachings with cruel actions. [/QUOTE]
