Religion can only do ONE THING: Divide
It cannot do anything else and it never has.

From a friend:
Lesson learned long ago.
Me in Lutheran grade school at a conference with my mother and the principal and myself.
Principal: during religious class you’ve been asking a lot of questions that really aren’t appropriate.
I was shocked What do you mean? He explained I was asking things like how did the animals from America all the way across the world get into Noah’s ark? What happened to all the little bugs that live under the rocks and in the ground and stuff like that when it flooded? Why doesn’t a miracle happen today when we could document it in the newspapers with photographs and reporting? Why did All the miracles stop?
Me: but they’re true.
Principal Herb: we understand you’re just being honest but you have to stop asking these questions or we’ll have to expel you.

I also dont think religion is to be credited for what good some claim it does.
