				The same thing could be said of suicide bombers and religious fanatic. Conviction in one's belief is idiotic if the belief itself is idiotic.

Since  when is Chasity or modesty an idiotic practice?  since  when is self  control  an undesirable trait?  when is shame or  embarrassment  of  how one acts  something  that is deemed  unworthy? I really don't understand.
What i do understand , in this MTV generation , when  as  long as i want  to , with  who i want  too,  where and when i want to  and how i want too and  don't give a f lying  crap  what  anyone thinks ,  might  makes  right,  and all that's  important  is the size of my bank account  and  ego  , then yeah its really weird . it doesn't fit the mold.its  not all  about  me,is it? 
 Belief in and of itself  isn't wrong. it  what you do   with that belief  ,that  makes the difference.  Here , he was  exercising  his personal choice , not inflicting bodily harm on others.  common sense  tell you  that its so.

				I understand that religion is important to many people, and many (including myself) have very strong views on it.  
Discussions on religion, other than as it pertains to the stories written by Fel, are probably best taken elsewhere.
