People die for all sorts of shit. People have died over children's sports, but no one wants to disolve Pop Warner football or calls it a blight on humanity.

Basically, every religion I have encountered breaks down into 2 simple rules:

Love God (whatever form you worship Him/Her/It in)

Love each other

Most of the other stuff builds off of that. Since religion has been around for thousands of years, there is a lot of silly rules we don't understand. Them, some nut takes a few of these rules, twists them out of their original meaning and uses them as excuses for horrible things.

The Declaration of Independance clearly states that all men are created equal. Of course we realize what context "men" is in. You will obviously write off someone who uses this as the basis for claiming women as inferior as someone who is miseterpretting the document.
