: Thank you for the info Karen. Unfortunately I find your Helping hand on the back bridled in thorns. Why? If you personally cant take a mature discussion about these issues. Dont debate them. Its that simple.

Hey, I didn't hear a mature dicussion. Guess I was not the only one. Maybe mature is defined differently in your dictionary.

: I brought up a very good point that no one seems to be able to counter. There are certain Organized faiths that have destroyed people in the name of religion. Those organisations need to be held accountable. Dont you agree?
:
Honestly! Well as a person of polish descent I don't appreciate Hitler but that does not mean I'm gonna get hell bent after all the Germans!
There is a point where it can get TOO over generalized. What do you propose? How does one hold an entire organized religion accountable for the acts of select individuals? What do you want? revenge? If not then breath deeply, punch a pillow, what ever, then LET GO. Come on now, if this applied then maybe the native americans should declare war on us "americans" and give us the boot! We should be held accountable right? How about Africa anf the slave thing? Maybe all people in america of African descent should get us whites some accountability for slavery and devastating Africa........etc. etc.Destroying people in the name of greed is rather common.
