Religion

I'm not going to dive in to my personal feelings about organized religions beyond saying that they serve a purpose in the world and some people need them more than others.  The level of passion present when people feel that their personal choice is being "dissed" can seriously interfere with logical thought and productive communication.  These sorts of issues have played an exceedingly small role in our multicultural household but are taking a huge toll on the extended family these days.  I'm hoping that they all just get over it.
