I feel the dishonesty is the worse thing. The division it causes within families and across the globe is incredible. It causes guilt and bigotry (masturbation, sex, homosexuals).
And it pains my heart to think of little kids that are forced to think about these earth shaking things at such a young age. Good, evil, the fate of their souls, getting into heaven, etc. I don't think that is good for them emotionally.
But the dishonesty and division it causes around the planet, between humans that already have enough natural division in their lives, is disgusting to me. | We'll if people wouldn't choose to have sex until marriage there wouldn't be a need for guilt and bigotry? no homosexuality is just wrong and obviously if they are unable to reproduce (which is how we still have a population) obvisouly it wasen't meant for them to be homosexuals.. | This is great. RidingHigh- this is a great example of what I'm speaking of. And this is not an isolated case. |
