From: "Rich Gauszka" 

Far too many Christians seem oblivious to the prodigal son parable. The
harm I see from religion is when the *believers* attempt to impose their
beliefs on the rest of us that don't. It's God's problem (and maybe mine if
I'm wrong ) whether I believe and not theirs. You almost think they get a
commission
