Amish - try to live peacefully, eschew automotive travel, make meth.

Right! The American Evangelical Christian-authored "Kill the Gays" legislation in Uganda for instance.

There are plenty - more than plenty - of unstable, murderous assholes warping their religion of choice; lashing out selfishly to vent frustration at their own pathetic lives or spewing hate to gain power and money.

I don't equate them with the ideals or tenets of the major religions of the world, which, I believe, were written by well meaning, thinking people concerned about the state of humanity and groping for a way to live in peace with other humans.

Whether you are a believer or not, the teachings of Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, etc. do not advocate the slaughters, propaganda, and fear instigated by the small, selfish, and power hungry who twist the words to suit their own sad purposes.

I quite agree with this.

Nowdays it seems everyone claims a religion and does the exact opposite of it's teachings to make whatever point - shoot, bomb, yell, assault.

Whatever happened to the sit-in? Occupy a space peacefully, have a seat, and hold hands.

Works pretty well, if I recall.
