OK - thanks for opening my eyes. As soon as you talked about how people were using religion as a means to an end, it finally clicked in my thick skull. Now it all makes perfect sense. Of course - it's the perfect tool.

I really appreciate your taking the time to spell it out. I think I can follow this stuff with a much more critical eye now. I think I was distracted by my own disdain for religion, and it was easy to run down the road of "see how bad religion is . . . it makes people do these terrible things!" And it all made sense at the time. But now I see how that's just the shadow puppet of the real masters.

I sincerely and humbly apologize for being offensive.
