Of course bashing religion is a good excuse to lower your moral and/or ethical standards. Then again there is nothing worse than a born again militant Christian. I much prefer the soft sell by demostration of how you live your life to the this is how you should live your life. Although the trials of Job would challenge anyone, who said faith should be easy or only on Sunday. I swear when I waitressed the post church diners, after their fire and brimstone, were my worst customers when they should have been my best. As for science, people will use any excuse for belief or non-belief. Rambling off now.
