EXTREMISM is the cancer, no matter the topic or belief.

Religion is not a cancer. Some people will find any excuse to look down on or belittle other people and many do use their religion, and are sadly taught to do so. Others use politics or race or gender. But if you actually look at many of the core beliefs in religions, they teach goodness and kindness toward others. Mine does. For example, if you actually read the Bible, Jesus didn't condone sins, but he didn't look down on people who committed them. He often forgave them, sat with them and patiently taught them the better way instead. He did chastise the Pharisees and Sadducees who acted like these people and self righteously judged away and only worked for power and social recognition. Their religion wasn't their motivation, it was their desire to be better than everyone else, or their misunderstanding of their own beliefs, or their embarrassment to be seen with the designated outcasts. Not all Muslims are terrorists and not all Christians are jerks.

Really...it about religion? She had no idea where babies came from? She never heard of birth control? Churches teach morals. It's not the churches fault if you refuse to listen.
