    Yeah, I used to think that about Sikhism as well. Then I did some research. Every religion can and has been abused.

      Of course it can, just as science has the ability to do the same. Do we brand all scientists as unethical because of Unit 731 or the Nuremberg trials? Ironically, this entire thread is very unscientific in its criticism of the religious.

        Right, except religion serves no purpose that a non-religious group can’t do. Do you see why equating religion and science is pretty silly?

        The only purpose of religion is to spread. Everything else is just a means to an end. Just take every good aspect of religion and remove the faith and the god from it. It becomes better. Teach people to do stuff because it is right, not because X god says so.
