Religion is the act of attempting to map out a path to achieving consistent spiritual goals. Unfortunately, religion has sometimes fall into the hands of some wacky people. All I have to say is this. If someone comes to you and professes to be able to solve your problems by some religious or spiritual path, beware! Life will always be difficult. There is no one that can wrap you in cocoon of religion and save you from all negativity. Religion has been used for good and evil throughout history. Make sure you're on the right side.
