Religions are about helping people

Watching the dreadful events in Woolwich unfold, I'm saddened what people will do in the name of religion. Religions should be about helping people, not hurting people, but all too often they get twisted by the minds of men. And none are immune. I was going to give a list of religions at this point with links to their holy books where they talk about tolerance and the sanctity of life (they all do you know), and then links to the atrocities that have been committed in their name but it got too depressing :-(

Anyway for me, I think this sums it up - Anyone who kills in the name of a religion, whatever religion, betrays it utterly.
