RimrunnerHmm, sounds interesting. But I cannot think of a reason to justify religion (if I use it synonymously with "faith" for a second) to anyone but yourself. And at least in my religion/faith, a strong point is made of the quality of one's acts being representative of the quality of one's faith.
"People shouldn't use religion to justify their acts. They should use their acts to justify religion."
With all the math I've been doing lately [*] it makes me want to rephrase it somehwere along the linew of, "Their acts should be justified in themselves, i.e. 'good.'"
Or maybe it would be okay for religion justifying one's acts if one used the religion of the people affected by the acts as an influencing factor at least.
Or something. 's all a bit confused, but the best I can do on a Sunday morning (it's 11 am here).
