What--by far--boils my blood the most in this life is when individuals perpetrate seemingly illogical, nonsensical, idiotic acts and explain them away by saying, "It's my religion" or "I did it for religious reasons" or “It happened because I’m [insert religion here].” It's as if religion has become a free license available for anyone to utilize at any time when they do something silly and need to somehow justify it. It’s also as if the religion excuse allows people to power off their brains and act outside of logic and sensibility with impunity. This means that, solely because of the religion excuse, one can dodge accountability for one’s stupid behavior--what a loophole!
Bottom line: When all else fails, blame it on religion; and you will be okay.
Questions: Do you look Where SHOULD society draw the line between healthy levels of religiosity AND insanity or mental deficiency? Also, do you think differently of people who use the religion “explanation”?
