The Staff of Religious Belief

Hi!

In my observation, religious belief is like a staff (big stick). Some people use it as a tool with which to keep stable on rough terrain, and to lend a hand to others. Others used it as a weapon with which to beat people. The problem is that there are so many who use it as a weapon (or at least there seems to be, perhaps they're just louder) that those who are using it as a tool can be misunderstood. I encourage anyone who has strong religious beliefs to focus on using them as a tool. The more this becomes the norm, the less power those wielding their beliefs will have...

Thanks!
Matt
