--By the way, in that Harry Potter statement. I'm not saying 'you' to specifically mean you! I'm generally talking about anyone who fits the bill!

--You know what is retarded? Have you ever filled up a form where there's a field for you to fill up under 'religion'? Why do people need to know your religion? What's stopping me from switching it back and forth from Catholic to Buddhist? Does it even matter?

--I mean. What makes your point of view of Harry Potter any more valid to someone else who just read the book?

--But that is human nature in general. We always tend to have a preference for something over something. I don't think there's such a thing as misinterpretations as much as they are just merely interpretations based on different set of eyes.

--Most of them John. definitely meaning the followers and perpetrators of most organised religions worldwide. A book is just a book, whatever the mythology surrounding it. It's people misinterpreting words that are claimed to be more right than words those people over there choose to believe, or thinking they adhere to some form of higher code than others or are in a special club because they believe in a certain book that is retarded. I have nothing against spirituality and what many religions try and say. And I am no atheist either...sometimes they are just as indoctrinated

--"That's why religions are so horrible" Not quite sure what you mean by this. Which one are you pertaining to? Is the book or the fan base?

--"That's why I was a bit confused that you would go to a dictionary to get moral codes": I was being sarcastic! I'm a dolt not pointing that out haha!

--we exist because we are animals who managed to evolve and outsmart other animals thats about it.Conflict is within human nature since we are animals the fact that we wear clothes does not change that...

--I agree. I know it's impossible to fully understand each other. But I think there's something fundamental people can all agree on if people just talk things out.

--I wish more people were more interested in the nature of their existence. The world might be a more discerning tolerant place in general. No probs John!
