funny thing is that religion doesnt corrupt people, people corrupt religion. its simply a part of human nature to want to act all self-righteous and stuff, which some religious people do to the extremes. and so there you go, you got the westboro baptist church, al quaeda, lords resistance army, and the taliban.
in the bible it even says that god loves all people, gay or not, as his children, but simply not the bad stuff some of them do. god does not hate "cigarettes", he simply dislikes what they do.
