Religions not evil unless you count the inquisition, and they are not too powerful.

Behold the terror of Darth Vader with the ability to turn into a Death Star.

Seriously people, if you are going to make a statement at least TRY to keep it in the realm of reality...

I'd have to go with words.

Think of Hitler. He killed thousands of people with the great help of his words and propaganda.

So there you have it.

How is "Religions not evil unless you count the inquisition, and they are not too powerful." not in the realm of reality?

Ignoring the Monty Python reference in this article I really think you should read up on the inquisition...

Umm... Actually I think that quip was from Mel Brooks' "A History of the World: Part I", not Monty Python. But I could be mistaken...

I was referring to the 'Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition' part at the end, sorry, I should have specified that.

i think words are the strongest weapons that anyone (in power) can weild. other than that i would say a predator missle. or a jet

Oh, I'd also like to add something, before people say that 'religion wasn't created as a weapon'. That may be true, indeed it probably is true, but that doesn't mean it can't be used as a weapon. Take a brick, for example, it's 'true' use is for building things but put in the right hands it becomes a weapon for bludgeoning people with (I'm not sure how putting a half-brick in ones sock and hitting someone around the head fits into this metaphor so I'll just leave that part out).

I'm surprised no one has said my penis... but I'd say the black hole.
