Good luck to him in receiving the backlash on this one. <br /> <br /> Though I'm awfully glad he's said it. Somebody had to. In fact, somebody still has to. Everybody should say it as much as they can. Gotta get it heard. <br /> <br /> I'd never personally advocate ACTUALLY banning religion (though it would be kind of funny in the wake of the gay marriage BAN) as I guess it's kind of a basic freedom-- freedom to be easily misled. <br /> <br /> But the sentiment is one I agree with. It doesn't work. And it does turn people into hateful lemmings. Tru dat, Elton. Heh… Good luck to him in receiving the backlash on this one.

Though I’m awfully glad he’s said it. Somebody had to. In fact, somebody still has to. Everybody should say it as much as they can. Gotta get it heard.

I’d never personally advocate ACTUALLY banning religion (though it would be kind of funny in the wake of the gay marriage BAN) as I guess it’s kind of a basic freedom– freedom to be easily misled.

But the sentiment is one I agree with. It doesn’t work. And it does turn people into hateful lemmings. Tru dat, Elton.
