Isn't it a wonder how the people who are the most "religious" seem to be the ones with the least compassion/morality. I suppose that they think that all of the time they spend praying makes up for common love and consideration. It's amazing that the people who I know that do not even believe in God are the most loving. I am not advocating any particular life choice...but it really is something. Why exactly do people attend church if they do not take any of the true lessons and apply them to their own lives.
However, please do not lump all of us 'religious' people together like you have in your comment. Some people, like myself, have a deep and abiding faith, yet are also able to function in society without being an overzealous nutbag! Granted, my Christian education was extensive, logical, historical, cerebral, and taught with kindness, so I guess I am against the norm... but there are still many others of us who live by the 'eleventh commandment'.... or to love one another as He first loved us....
