subject: The Evil that is Religion

 FR> And I might add that you can't join the KKK and then demand you're
 KK> not FR>a racist.  If that analogy remains unclear, I'll fill in the
 KK> blanks:  If FR>you willingly join an evil cult knowing full well what
 KK> the cult stands FR>for, you are in agreement with it.  And if _that_
 KK> remains unclear, I'll FR>try again:  If you're a Christian who knows
 KK> what the history of your cult FR>is, you are in agreement with what it
 KK> stands for.
 KK> C'mon, Fred, that's scrambled reasoning.  Many of the eugenicists were
 KK> Darwinists.  By your reasoning, therefore Darwinists are eugenicists.
 FR> Pretending Christianity's history doesn't exist is silly.
 KK> Okay, Marx, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao were atheists.  Now, try replacing
 KK> "Christian" with "atheist" in your above reasoning. When you get to the
 KK> part where accepting atheism means you are in agreement with genocide,
 KK> you may begin to suspect a flaw in the reasoning.
   Noted, Keith.  Again, the voice of reason and careful analysis wins out
over overheated passion and unreason.
Sincerely,
