I don't there is perfect religion because in the end it's all about so diverse and what we as people feel comfortable with. If you are comfortable being a christian , so be it. Ditto as an Islamist , Hindu or w/e other religion.
There is no need to attacking people because of their beliefs . It's a different story when some religions conservative nut comes out and says my religion is the best and all other must be killed. Convert now or die is the worst thing ever.
I am a hindu and while it may seem that there are many rules within our religion , it's not black and white.At least that's how i see it. Speaking from a personal view , many religions tell us not to sin so that we may not go to hell. With hinduism there are cycles of life and death that just go on again and again. We all believe to attain salvation from these cycles but then again nobody is perfect. If it can't be done if this lifetime , then you get it in the next or , or the one after that. Or if it cantbe done in this era , then the next era when everything is destroyed and afterwards created.

Gary: (to Stan) Look, maybe us Mormons do believe in crazy stories that make absolutely no sense, and maybe Joseph Smith did make it all up, but I have a great life and a great family, and I have the Book of Mormon to thank for that. The truth is, I don't care if Joseph Smith made it all up, because what the church teaches now is loving your family, being nice and helping people. And even though people in this town might think that's stupid, I still choose to believe in it. All I ever did was try to be your friend, Stan, but you're so high and mighty you couldn't look past my religion and just be my friend back. You've got a lot of growing up to do, buddy. Suck my balls.
