David G. McAfee Quotes
If you are religious, you believe that your religion is the 'right' one—and, in many cases, all others will be sent to hell.

All of these ideologies spawn the hate, philosophical disagreements, and prejudices that have been the catalysts for various atrocious acts throughout history.
