    Tony, You are absolutely right. I would like to add one thought God
    is not religion. It is man that bends the character of God for self.
    It is the inherent bent nature of the human spirit to seek self
    fulfillment that in its most advanced form manifests itself as pure
    evil that creates the perversion of faith, religion and belief. God
    is separate from these acts just as a jeweler that creates a ring is
    not the ring but the maker of the ring. The jeweler is part of the
    ring in the essence that the jeweler designed, crafted and put the
    ring out into reality but the jeweler is not THE ring. If the ring is
    used on the hand of someone who uses the ring to beat someone to
    death the jeweler is not in part or parcel responsible for the
    hideous act. Similarly I believe that God is not responsible for the
    acts of Popes and politicians, dictators and evil people bent on
    power and manipulation. Just as in a free society you have to take
    the good with the bad to have free will and not be a mindless bee in
    a hive of thousands of bees you have to take the good with the bad.
    These are just my personal thoughts not meant to convert anyone or
    insight upheaval. Regards J Morley/Goldsmith/Laser welder
