But Tom, all these "works of art" were stolen, confiscated or
made by slave labor in the name of religion, by the religious
establishments. Religion was and is responsible for irrational,
emotionally sick behavior of otherwise perfectly normal, good
human beings.....

No, Tom, religion, i.e. its reps, do collect fees from such
thankless jobs that *others* do. Religions is the tool to collect
money for empty promises. Or has anybody you know come back?
Or do you talk to the dead?.... Religious leaders do it all the time.
Are you starting the Potterian Temple now?.......ahahahaha...
Rabbi Potter.......ahahahaha.......Rabbi Potter. Nice ring to it.

Yeah, Tom, when the end is near, when you hear the "intergalactic
night freight train" come to a stop at your bed site to scoop you up
and haul you away, yondern.....do you think that any religious leader
can or will stop you from going aboard that train?...........
YOUR FEAR is what makes you believe in organized religious crock....
ahaha... ahahaha......ahahahanson
