Umm, Roland, I didn't see anyone bashing your religion, or any other
religion. I saw a fellow remarking about how some people MISUSE religion.
That's bashing those who misuse it, not the religion itself. Nor is it
bashing you or me or other Christians. It's a given that there are
unprincipled cads out there who use religion of whatever type for their own
personal agendas. We might disagree on just WHO is misusing it and who is
"following God's will", but I didn't see him mention a specific person or
group either. 

As for me, I really enjoyed the Groo story where he gave his money to some
monks for safekeeping, and they thought he was donating it so they spent it
on a "glorious temple" and when he came back for his money, he tore it down
looking for the money.
