I agree with you, but I just can't help but go doh' when I think about it. I mean look at the religious sect's fighting in Iraq and Iran and it's all over semantics. I mena really, different wording different believe caused by who knows what.Religions are not made "right" or "wrong" due to their dogma, but rather due to their actual teachings and their results. All religions are a mix of valid and invalid, regardless of whether there is any god or what he might like.
I don't think people generally get shaped by their religious beliefs a whole lot, however. It can happen, and it can get ugly, but it fortunately isn't at all a common occurrence. More often than not people bend and shape their beliefs to fit their emotional tendencies instead, even if it doesn't necessarily end up in adoption of a whole different religion.
On the other hand, it sure is disheartening to see how little effort current religious leaders employ in actually making their faiths valid and healthy. I wish they were more serious about their religions.
I am waiting for the day when one stands up and says we are wrong sorry. I mean obviously many religions are just plain wrong. No matter how they try to justify them. Lets get rid of them for crying out loud...
