In Reply to: Religions and Spirituality, Who is right? posted by Jennifer Warrick on February 04, 1999 at 18:05:49:

I don't think that we can blame religion for harms done to people, no matter how bad the actions of a people done in the name of their religion it is still the people who have to act. It is a little like passing the sins of the father on to the children, it just shouldn't have to be that way. I don't blame the catholic religion for the actions taken against the aztecs, I blame the conquistadors. I don't like being told that I am the cause of suffering of minorities in todays' world because white people, a century ago, believed in the act of slavery. My decendants are Scottish, Norwiegan, English, and russian, I look at myself as an American not scott, english, or anything else. As far as religion and spirituallity are concerned they are two very different things, I for one enjoy spirituallity a lot more than religion. Who is to say what religion is right?
