The people that wish to be led around by promises on paper from Jesus, Allah, Buddha and would kill in the name of them are psychotic. Or at least it seems that way, especially to consider that if I was asked to kill someone in the name of religion, strong believer or not, I'd laugh and flip the bird. Because after all, a sane person doesn't need religion or law to understand that killing is wrong. I believe that the sane person, though potentially ignorant of the law, knows from their gut what evil and wrong is and is not.

Strong believer in
natural law, eh?
That said, I tend to agree with your gut feeling, to the degree that I fear evolving into a general misanthrope. Then again, like my Intercultural Communication lecturer said, prejudices help orienting oneself in strange cultures...

That sounds even better than Rog's first assessment.

Good advice, I'll keep it in mind.
