religion, the original opiod crisis

here's something i wish; that people would NOT use "the" (or the implied "the") when what they mean is "our" or even "mine".

the problem with religionS, yes they ARE plural, isn't with what they start out to be, or what motivates them to come into existence,
but what they are twisted to become, as soon as they begin to aquire any significant following.

(not that trying to solve anything by rigidity isn't a flawed approach to begin with,
but problems do need to be defined, and to do that, the terms with which to define them need be as well)
