i admire your frankness, stormcrow (I was almost disappointed to discover you weren't the same stormcrow with whom i'm acquainted, an old acquaintence - i'm known as crow woman in some circles). ANYWAY, re: your "Yes, religion has a purpose...to keep the populace complacent and obedient." perhaps that is true of the older days/traditions, but some believers have read enough of the bible to see it said 'BE ANGRY, but do not sin' - he doesn't want us lukewarm about issues which we should have passion/action for. I think 'real belief' does not look for a bed of roses but of knowledge of ultimate victory. It would be SO much easier to take matters into our own hands, but we have the mantle of responsibility and wisdom to live out. Some folks just wanna live with a 'hand out', and if there were no belief in God would find another excuse.
