"Its important to know something about the subject before giving an opinion. A 'kiddy fiddler priest', a suicide bomber and a religious leader lining his own pockets is not religious really. A religious person is someone who follows the teaching of their religion - kindness, generosity, humility, self-control, love, selflessness and so on."
The bible is not all about doing good things, here's one of the many commandments (there's more than 10) from the bible. Most of the people I have talked to about the bible have absolutely no idea that these passages are all over the bible, specifically the new testament
"All who curse their father or mother must be put to death. They are guilty of a capital offense. (Leviticus 20:9 NLT)"
"When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment. (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)"
"Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel. (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)"
