Re:On Science and Religion (Score 1)

Religion without Jesus is like beer without alcohol: it may taste good, but in the end you don't get a buzz.

If you would be so kind as to modify "Religion" with "Christian" (ie Christian Religion) I'll accept this. I find the implication that Christianity is the only valid religion highly offensive.

Otherwise, your points are well taken. All Christian denominations have strayed from the original simple (though not simplistic) teachings of Jesus to greater or lesser degrees, inserting their own cultural biases and political contentions. Being treated rudely by an organized religion can sometimes serve to strengthen one's own faith in the higher power that religion is supposed to honor.
