I don't mean to offend people, and I probably shouldn't post this, but Mormonism is the result of an individual's deviation from the religion, and so was Islam, and Satanism can also be seen as deviation of Christianity. Those started off unorganized, and of course, there are a positive side to those religions, but FLDS ranch, Islamic -I'm sorry I'm picking on Muslims - hostility against many who aren't Muslim, and Satanism's.... Hmm... Rituals, if you will, are a definite negative. Of course, mainstream, organized religions have their problems, and I should probably say that Islam is now an organized religion, worshiped by much of the world's population. Crusades, Inquisition, the caste system, and much more came from organized religion. I digress. Unorganized religion can also be as violent or politically incorrect, as they often are, as organized religions, and lack of religion altogether could also pose some troublesome attitudes amongst the younger generations. If one is told that there isn't anyone watching over them when nobody's looking, and there is nothing after their death to judge them of their wrongdoings and such, younger generations will, most likely, grow an attitude of "as long as nobody sees me" and "Let me enjoy this life at its full without morals." Of course, I'm not saying all the younger people will, but there will most likely be at least one or two that thinks that way, and if more than one of two of these young men gets together, and says, "If there isn't anything after this life, why don't we start killing people and taking what we want? As long as we don't get caught isn't that fine?" Then we would have a problem at our hand I look at religion as not only a way of explaining the creation and afterlife, but also a set of moral to keep the younger, not necessarily less disciplined, but more impressionable people in check, if you will. I'm not saying that religion should be used for brainwashing, but just a mere guideline for younger generations, and organized religion seems to be better at keeping to the politically correct morals than unorganized, from what I see, no offense intended. I'm sorry if I offended anyone, and there are my two cents on this matter.
	I suck at GFXing. Please bear with me. The Beatles It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile! So may I introduce to you, the act you've known for all these years!
