Of course you sound extremely tolerant yourself Mr Armageddon?

Its always the same response I receive when trying to explain the negative aspects of religion. Organized religion does a masterful job of promoting itself...in all aspects!

Clearly it doesn't do a masterful job of promoting itself, since you're shooting your mouth off about it like there's no tomorrow. What's the problem with knowing that, like all aspects of life, there are some good people (and things) involved in religion, and some bad. Accept the good and try to get rid of the bad. There's nothing wrong with believing in something, and I know a whole lot of religious people who don't give a sh*t what religion I am, they tolerate.

By the way...the local people who "dug" Mother Theresa were shunned by their own religions and people.

Fair enough statement. Prove it. I've never heard about this persecution.

For thousands of years the Lepers have been shunned. A leper is shunned by his society and religion as a sinner. They have literally been removed from their families...mostly of the Hindu religion...and banned to camps or Leper cities. This practise still continues even though Leprosy is 100% curable.
There are literally hundreds of stories on the persecution of Lepers.
