    From the page: "If Christ was in fact God, he knew all the future. Before him like a panorama moved the history yet to be. He knew how his words would be interpreted. He knew what crimes, what horrors, what infamies, would be committed in his name. He knew that the hungry flames of persecution would climb around the limbs of countless martyrs. He knew that; thousands and thousands of brave men and women would languish in dungeons in darkness, filled with pain. He knew that his church would invent and use instruments of torture; that his followers would appeal to whip and fagot, to chain and rack. He saw the horizon of the future lurid with the flames of the auto da fe. He knew what creeds would spring like poisonous fungi from every text. He saw the ignorant sects waging war against each other. He saw thousands of men, under the orders of priests, building prisons for their fellow-men. He saw thousands of scaffolds dripping with the best and bravest blood. He saw his followers using the instruments of pain. He heard the groans -- saw the faces white with agony. He heard the shrieks and sobs and cries of all the moaning, martyred multitudes. He knew that commentaries would be written on his words with swords, to be read by the light of fagots. He knew that the Inquisition would be born of the teachings attributed to him." Quite a concise text and written with serenity.

    Apart from possibly, the more innocuous elements of Buddhhism, all religion is dangerous - it turns people against each other, even withn different sects of the same religion; Protestant vs Catholic, Shia vs Sunni... not to mention it is totally irrational. With all we know of science in the 21st century, these beliefs of over a thousand years old and, reflecting the knowledge of their own time, should be well and truly discarded... Let's teach our kids to question and learn, not to be indoctrinated...

    Everything I've ever wanted to say about the Bible that I was never really eloquent enough to say this well.
