Yes thats very true. The Abrahamic religions are very much about putting power into the hands of men. Feminine men and gays are a disgrace to men, women must be submissive and quiet, and treating another human being as worse than an animal is A-OK!!
Yeeaapp, its a pointless and otherwise boring life.

The western world was built on Christianity, (leading to witch burnings, the Inquisition, the repression of science, the oppression of women, etc) but now it is built on taking those things that we still agree with (thou shallt not kill, love thy neighbor, etc) and ignoring all those things that are inconvenient. Like it or not, Christianity's hold on the western world is dying.
