Most religions are indeed benevolent and promote 'peace on earth' the problem are fanatics who, like you said, twist things around and people who use religion to manipulate other people. Although I must admit I don't have a lot of respect for those who let themselves be manipulated in the name of religion.When you're fed some of that messed up junk your entire life, what do you expect? I didn't really mean the religion itself, more of the way people make cetain acts sound as though they are "the will of god".
