His answer was perfect. He answered that religion is a thing of people. Animals don't have religion. People (human being) have religion. The point is that you have have great people everywhere where that are people, including religion. And you have stupid people everywhere where there are people,also including religion.
You have good atheist and atheist that is an idiot. You have good religious person and a religious person that is an idiot.
That same goes for cops, for teachers,...
The same goes for people from different nationalities. You have good Brazilians and stupid Brazilians. Good Americans and stupid Americans. Good Europeans and stupid Europeans...
I could pass all the night typing it...
The point is that good people practice religion in a good way. Stupid people practice religion in a stupid way. Stupid people should do almost everything in his life in a stupid way, including religion.
The problem is that sometimes stupid people have important position in the religion or they are so good in the way they spread their stupid and distorted message that many good people ended up doing things also in the stupid way.
What you say about human stupidity is correct. It exists in every, race, and nationality. Yet the words of Jesus have remain even 2000 after his birth, death and resurrection. During the Christmas season many people will wish for peace. People who are considered intelligent have great understanding. I will leave you with another Bible verse:
Quote:And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:7 KJVPeace be with you,
