From earliest manifestations of beliefs in gods of thunder and lightning, to Mormonism and Scientology, and everything in between.

Buddhism, Shinto, Voodoo, Judaism, Christianity, Protestantism, you name it.

Now THAT was a class worth taking.

If they want to talk about religion, let's talk about all of them and whence they came.

If they actually knew what was in the Bible, they wouldn't pretend to believe every word.

Strangely enough, the only way that Muslims could teach their religion in schools and push Sharia Law - the religion these American Taliban are so afraid of - is if these theocratic laws they keep pushing are ever held up in court.

If these idiots ever get their way and are able to push their religion on everyone else, their grandchildren may have a completely different religion pushed on them.
