Good point.

On of the problems as I see it is that many religions - especially christian, fill in the blanks to suit their own idea of what the beliefs should be. That is to suit their lifestyle. Thus, so many differeing versions of christianity.

And the other thing is the oppression of women. In the beginning it was mother earth. Then, after the burning of millions of so-called witches - mainly just women with intelligence - the mother part was no more and women were supposed to OBEY.

I'm a guy and I just don't get it. My wife and I are partners, as much as that can be aggravating at times. And I know my parent's southern baptist version calls for the obey thing.
