I hate the saying "guns don't kill people..."
That's pretty much all I was saying.
I don't think applying that saying to anything serves your arguement well. Whether it is religion, or smoking, or anything else.
The arguement basically justifies the creation and use of anything bad/evil/dangerous etc. and instead of showing the worth of such items (ie, religion), it just shifts the blame to people.
Personally, I think there are some good things about religion, I just think that arguement fails to show them or even atempt to show them.
