I'm agreeing to the part of it where you agree to personally abide by religious arbitration. Where it gets nasty is if the STATE recognizes and sanctions that arbitration. In fact, (and D-ray nails this in the last post), all the historical damage that has been done by religion in the past (the Crusades, the Inquisition, ect) could only have been accomplished WITH THE HELP of State Power and sanction. Religion itself, is pretty much a neutered authority without some outside help..
