Religious beliefs are so powerful. The society can benefit from organized religions. I just wish they kept things in perspective and realized people do have different viewpoints and ways of life, and most of all held of on cramming their beliefs down other people's throat. It's a shame the religious figures abuse their power and waste opportunities in teaching tolerance. Oh well enough with my own preaching. If you follow the news of Ted Haggard, the ousted (and now "cured" of his homosexuality!!) evangelical leader, who advocated ban of gay rights but got busted for hiring a male hooker, here is an example of how one's faith can lead to such a ridiculous claim:
Gay therapy. Psychiatric view-religion: NYT article. (nothing cures an illness so effectively like denial.)
After reading that, I happened to see this really funny piece of satire from the Onion: Believe what you want, define your own happiness. (just stay the fuck out of my way!!!)

WHICH IS BETTER BEING TOLERATED OR FORGIVEN?
ANYONE CAN TOLERATE BAD BEHAVIOR BUT IT TAKES TRUE LOVE TO FORGIVE ANOTHER.
FORGIVENESS COMES FROM TRUE LOVE TOLERANCE IS A PRACTICE OF IGNORANCE!
