Catholic ideas about birth control are evil whenever applied. What about the various recent evil Muslim antics? William T Goodall the original judeo religion which spawned christianity, and islam and all their schisms is far less evil and dogmatic in its campaigns against heretics. reform and reconstructionist jews are far more progressive than its conservative and orthodox forbears. some protestant religions and moderate muslims are improving, also, so tere is hope... i would not say that all evangelical fundamentalists are stupid, just ignorant. they often make a choice to ignore facts and are motived more by emotion than rational thought. people who are sceptical and free thinkers are probably more intelligent in general because they make a conscious choice to reject mystical superstition and creation mythos. jon --------------------------------- Looking for last minute shopping deals?
