Yes, some religions can be cruel.... and lead thier flock toward cruelty.... lets not forget the crusades or the fall of the roman empire or many other travesties that have occured because of religious beliefs.... but what are we to do have the equivalent of a jihad against all known religions.... religion has been with us since the dawn of mankind... even before speech... we cannot dismiss it so readily.... killing a man because of thier beliefs is what brought about all of those past religious wars... the only solution I can see is tolerance and respect.... mutual mind you.... the only other answer is to nuke the world clean of all human kind.... and that solution means death for all
