religion to alot of people i know is less about living, and more about dying. humans fear what they don't understand, and the happenings after death are one of those things. religions are a way for people to bring some understanding into the afterlife (even if they can't physically prove any of it). it makes death a more comfortable thing to think about, talk about, or even acknowledge.

and im not stating facts, just some opinions/thoughts.
as a roman catholic, i obviously have a faith, but also have many doubts, and questions about the physical entity of my religion on this planet entitled "the roman catholic church."
so take my thoughts for what they're worth, which could quite possibly be nothing ;)

shouldn't that be "the chicken egg laying chocolate rabbit goddess?"

the eggs are traditonally chicken eggs, while the rabbits are chocolate.

He may have been refering to Cadbury Creme Eggs - far superior to the hard boiled variety.

Blaming religion for all the terrible things that have been done in it's name is akin to blaming guns for violence. Like guns religion isn't the cause of the problem. Its merely the tool used by the perpetrator, in this case the religious, to obtain a desired effect. Weather the desired effect is something universally good or bad it has always been at the will of the user.

Imagine if everyone in the US who bought a new motorcycle for the next 20 years believed that the only thing a motorcycle could be used for was to do wheelies, stoppies, and headstands in downtown highway traffic at 5pm and in mall parking lots on the weekends. No more motorcycles for transportation, relaxation, track days, or cross country trips. Only stunting!

What would the general public's perception of motorcyclists be?  What would the culture of motorcyclists be like? Who would have the louder voice in declaring who "motorcyclists" are and what "motorcycling" is?
