It’s just a great excuse for idiots to justify their evil deeds. BUT, I digress."</i> a bit reductionist. i know there are plenty of religious idiots out there, but just as you don't want people to stereotype Muslims by the actions of a few, you cannot stereotype religions by the actions of a few. “Is this really what religion was meant for?
