I am all for religion as a basic guideline to lead a "good" life. However, the sense I get from Kevin's post is that there are no exceptions. Incidentally, who wrote the bible and who interprets it? Is it not "people"?
Doing things in the name of God or a higher being (when taken to extremes) can lead to some less than pallatable situations. History is littered with examples of this....I get an uneasy feeling when our own religious beliefs and interpretations of scripture find their way to these boards.
