But for starters I agree with pretty much everything you stated. And Had I not "Framed" my statements the way I did would you have had the opportunity to separate the wheat from the chaff so to speak, in pointing out that in all of the examples religion is a secondary if not tertiary problem.

If your narratives don't tell it like you see it your not really giving your audience a chance to make that same determination for themselves in correcting your mistatements

Once they (audience) start telling you Thats not what its about then you'll know your on the right track
