9. The whole guilt trip of "we are all sinners" is the most loveless theme religion has ever put forth.

Humanity has always tailored the "word of God" to suit their purposes.
Too many people out there are too quick to condemn and too slow to forgive.
Yes, there's a lot of evil in this world, and far too little love and compassion.
Too many people reject the concept of empathy, even though they insist we are all God's children.

It's ironic that much of what we see as sin isn't, and so much we don't see as sin is.
