Probably the most sane of the lot.. I guess following the moral messages within the Bible, such as being "pure and loving" is a good idea. However, it is obviously possible to not be religious and to live by similar morals. Along with moral guidelines, Religious texts often have many conflicting messages within them. This can lead to other more sinister beliefs and practises within religion. All those "afraid and alone" people who resort to religion for comfort and hope are effectively being decieved - because it isn't real. I know humans generally need faith of some kind - I just think i'd rather not. What a nice letter. Probably the most sane of the lot..
