I suggest that you are confusing religion with doctrine – almost all religions seek to uplift the society and improve the lot of the individual. It is when the ethics and morals of faith are twisted by those persons of power, or who seek power, that tenets of humanity become tools of oppression and hatred.

Yes; while living in an upstairs appartment in my home town, I woke up to someone pounding on my front door, and yelling something about ‘come out and get your @** kicked’, etc. – at 2 A.M.! I took a pistol (details on request – I own several), went downstairs, and tried to find out ‘who’ and ‘why’ (through the closed door), and got louder raving and pounding. When he paused to catch his breath, I loudly and deliberately inserted the magazine, ‘racked’ the slide, and told him to leave – there was a mutter, a second voice said ‘let’s go’, and the sound of footsteps walking away. I have always believed that a person’s safety and security are their own responsibility, but that ANY use of force is, at best, a severe moral and legal decision – one that can only be made at the time and place – and one that you, personally, have to be prepared to make – and suffer any consequences of that decision. I would like to discuss/debate this further, at anyone’s option.
