i half-heartedly agree with you. most religions in and of themselves are do not = hate. it's when you get asshats in charge who get their first taste of power and love it. and then they corrupt it. christianity has pretty much been corrupt for about 1500 or so years now. doesn't take long for many religions to get that way. but at their hearts, most religions aren't the problem.

okay, i'm actually a michael moore fan. how truthful he really is or what kind of spin he puts on things, i think most can be open to some debate. but that's neither here nor there. this quote is one of the funniest things i've ever heard. thanks!

I still dont trust religion, but saying stuff that is not true doesnt help.

i think if you look at the history of wars, you'll actually find that most are from religion. before the last few hundred years, religion played a large role in pretty much every aspect of life. religion has been used as a banner under which many armies have fought. and today, they still do. religion was a reason for WWII. don't beleive me? well, hitler tried to exterminate the jews (that's a religous reason, he hated people of that religion) and other people whom he considered inferior. the crusades, the inquisition, the salem witch trials (not a war, but another religion run amuk kind of thing), the current arab vs. isreal, shit with the klan. think about all of the papal sponsored or supported wars throughout the history of christianity. there have been quite a few.
