Mankind, in the name of religion and God, has killed and maimed so many people.

C'mon-- Mankind in the name of other men's wives, other men's money, other men's property, other men's politics, other men's languages, etc, has gone to war with very little provocation.

Stop being so moralistic and biased against religion because your parents forced you to go to Sunday school. It's a lot more fun to stop complaining about "bad Christians" and start allowing Christ to work miracles in your life....

I just think that in most cases it has lost its relevance from the intended meaning.

Many Catholics have no clue that nowhere in the Bible does Jesus call for a Holy Roman Catholic Church with Saints and rituals entirely of mans' creation. Where did all these rituals come from? Where did all these things come from?

They are mostly a creation of man. As such, is there not a chance that man can be wrong?????

Teach them critical thinking, honest introspection and respect for the views of others and let them make up their own mind. I have no respect for a 'God' who is incapable of talking to someone who needs talking to. I had NO religion until the age of 29 and the Still, Small voice decided it was time to get my attention.

Teach 'em how to think critically (so as to keep them out of the clutches of liberalism/socialism or most any other 'ism that makes no sense) and then let the Lord do the rest. Of course, IMHO, ANY person that could even be slightly called 'educated' should read the Bible, Koran, Torah, Dhammapada and Baghva gita through in a good translation.
