No Justin, no.
However, it is like being in a stadium and everybody is screaming.
Everyone is screaming lies with the exception of one person, who is screaming the truth.
Difficult.
It is a strenuous search.
However, the truth is out there.

I don't believe religions are corrupt. Just some of the people within those religions, who use those religions to justify their actions, are corrupt. Always gives the rest of the group a bad name.

Seems so with all the media coverage.
I believe that most religions are basically sound. It's when they become highly organized, with outrageous dogmas, too many people, too much money, too much power, that they begin to fall from their original goal of serving the community as a whole NOT JUST their own selfish agendas.
We have had our share with Focus on (your own damned) Family, New Life Church, and newest one is Grace Episcopal Church and St. Stephen's Parish. They have a breakaway group that is aligning themselves with a radial group from Nigeria ... a VERY anti-gay organization.
Grace's ex-Reverend Donald Armstrong III, is being investigated for embezzlement of church funds.

when politically or business minded people get upstiars in religions, then even church goers complain.
Good people who are trying to be good support them would be the first to say, "Hypocrit"
But relative to other professions, there is a very low occurance rate of corruption. It is just you have higher hopes for the guy with his collar on back-the-front, so disappointment is greater.

No, not all religions are corrupt. However, people are corrupt and if corrupt people are in charge, guess what happens to the religion?
Alas, it is the reason I no longer associate with any religions.

Corrupt is the human mind.

Well,where is the list of "all" religions? Are we supposed to spend time researching that for you? Anyway,since thousands of religions have come and gone,most lost to antiquity,how could anyone know? Besides you don't define "corrupt".

Yes, in the sense that all work on faith, or belief in the absence or in spite of empirical evidence. "Faith" is a corrupt concept, in my opinion, because it asks human beings to set aside thinking about the world.
