My signature is an anagram of my real name, it also is very similar to a name appearing in Tolkien's elven geneology in LOTR.
As to religion being a major source of suffering for humanity...yep, no contest, mainly I wanted you to relaize that Christianity was not responsible for ALL the things done in its name any more than all Moslems are responsible for the tragedy of 9/11 or Jewish folk for the death of Jesus (just samples no brick bats intended).
I hope that ANY alien race we do happen to meet out among the stars have as many flaws as we do as a race
....because IF we meet an alien race AND IF that race is technologically our inferior, we WILL exploit that race (It seems to be humanity's one true standard operating precedure) OR IF we meet a race and it is technologically our superior AND they lack our flaws, they may decide we want extermination or quarantine. Finally, IF we meet a race and they are our equals technologically and socially then
......Katie, bar the door!.....Its on galactic war!
