Don't attack Hitler's Mein Kampf. I am sure that it has given much inspiration to Nazis all over the world.

Your premise that false religions give comfort is not necessarily true. Many, many Muslims live in total misery because of their Islamic belief, partiucularly women who are forced into polygynous marriages and are devoid of human rights because the Coran says that they are inferior to men. Many Muslim women don't know how to read and write and therefore they are ignorant of the real message of the Coran. They think the Coran is really very beautiful but that the men's interpretation is wrong. They are wrong. The men are quite correct in interpreting the Coran as women being the property of men. Sadly they think it is the word of God and thus it gains authority.

Therefore I find Nanette's claim that all religions are worthy of respect, quite ridiculous. I could write the holy book of Ogou. Ogou is an African pagan god so he hasn't a book yet. His followers engage in ritual mud baths to cleanse themselves of evil spirits.
