Hey, I never preach any religious aspects of Judaism to anyone, and expect the same in return from them from whatever type of religion they are in.

I wasn't saying
all religious people try to spread their religion. But religion is like a virus -- not everyone who's infected is going to cough in someone else's face, but if enough people do, the damage is still done.
I thought your "sun worship" paragraph on the last page sounded like George Carlin... that's a great bit he does. He has a good point too.
Along similar lines, many American Indian tribes had
much more reasonable beliefs than most major religions today, because at least they worshiped things that exist for doing stuff that those things actually do. Sun brings light. Clouds bring water. Earth makes food grow. Of course they embellished with some superstitious stuff, but given their level of technology that's understandable. Unfortunately for them, the sun and moon and wind never told them to go overseas and face other people with the choice of conversion or death. So when Spain came along in the 15th century to bring them God and Smallpox, they were screwed.
