Peggy It is true that the religious community is not all equal. I was reminded by another email friend that there is a moral minority in the religious community who believe in SCR and that helping poor people is moral.and hating homosexuals is not particularly praiseworthy I have been too hard on religion in general and feel I've been forced into an extreme position because of the positions of certain ruling evangelicals, but not all Most of my good friends are Christians of some kind, have one Hindu friend.and an atheist. My mother was an atheist. I am an agnostic. Getting PD has not made me more religious, but less so, I tend to focus on the wars and violence religion has caused and opposition to science, not the good teachings. My position on these iss would be the same with or without religion or illness. Your reminder is well-timed.
