No, it's not the fault of some book. But I don't feel like wasting time in unsuccessfully explaining it to you.

Same as above, don't want to waste time.

Another Carrot Top movie?

Ok, so now the happy, oblivious pseudo-psychobabble starts gushing forth...

Blah.

Blah blah.

BLAAAAAAAAAAH!

I like my fear. It keeps me from doing stuff that would bring harm to myself.

You think that religion is the cause of it all? What about Hitler and Stalin? Stalin killed a lot of people and ruled using fear. So did Hitler. Regardless of Hitler's possible status as a catholic.... What about Stalin? Wasn't he an athiest? How many people did he kill?

Go read up on this, it's actually quite interesting.

And which concept of love do you keep referring to? Yours? One that comes from China? From India? From Africa, Europe, or Australia? I'd venture to say that they're all different to some extent.
