All FF titles deal with this. I can see their point with zealous fanaticism.

They didn't become faithful out of free will after the first generation of members in those faiths.


Well, no, they were not given a choice really, but here's the thing: that people have always twisted the bible to suit their interests. It happened in the past, it will keep happening in the future.

Jesus did not forcefully convert his followers. He had no reason to. The ones who have subjugated others due to the zeal of Christian people were Christians themselves.

I have made it a matter of principle to never set foot in a KFC. Like so many other US fast food chains we got them over here as well. Chicken should be healthier than that.

More than understandable. I haven't eaten KFC since returning to eating meat again, but how damp the paper gets after having a piece of KFC chicken put on it on the table's a little distressing.

Here in Singapore chicken's either steamed, or fried in spices and coconut milk.

Which usually means that the area is going to violently conquered by religious extremists ten years later.

Gut luck with that. May I suggest that you read the Tragedy of Man? It is exactly about this religion-free will issue.

SO very true.. I seldom go out to eat to any fast food place. I do, on occasion, with friends/family, but I, by no means, make a habit of it. It's artery clogging nonsense to have every single meal at one of these places. Yuck! I still can't believe there are people that would eat at fast food places say... once a week, every month :o

Hence why the USA is in desperate need of the same kind of organized healthcare that is so common in most European countries and Canada. You cannot expect easily manipulated citizens to keep themselves healthy, after all.
