Yes your right, but your examples arent exclusive to organized religions..I was in catholic school from grades 1-12..no one ever told me that..Hey i agree with the notion organized religions have some "issues"...but that applies to any organization cause they are run and created by humans! Hey when i was in catholic school there was huge emphasis on forgiveness and repenting...people were forgiven for their sins...no one told them they were going to hell...also had a great time in religion class in HS..nothing but films...got a lot of nice little naps then..also learned alot about other religions besides christianity...and i am an atheist...
