Bush commutes Libby sentence

[eppie]

Eppie cuts religion out of the picture of culture entirely. That is almost certainly wrong. But I don't think it makes sense to put religion on too high a pedestal. Society is mostly driven by other things.

I don't cut out religion entirely, I just think it is a tool for people to get what they want and to keep power over others. Religion is often used by people to drive things.
I mean if I give you the example of Scientology, we all see the way these people use the religion to obtain certain things (wealth for example).

Religion is an important part of many cultures, but we make it, we decide what to believe in.
Very visible examples are Henry the 8th (i believe) that created a new religion because he wanted to be able to be married to several wives. Another more recent example is the pope stating that (more or less was decided) that the place were babies that die before they get baptized (I'm sorry I don't know the English word) go does not exist. He found that it was a bit unfair not to let them into heaven.
