Your strongest feelings about religious ideals.

So on this site I've seen many opinions and ideas from both religious and atheist points of view. Some of these points seem to hold very special places in the hearts of people. The one that causes the most visceral reactions from me is the idea of original sin and sin by association. Blaming people for the ill doings of others goes against my understanding of justice and is by far the most anger provoking thing for me that religion condones. What are some points about religion that get you up in arms? As for you religious readers, how do you feel about some of the bad parts of your religion cause I doubt even the most devote condone everything in the various religious books? How do you reconcile that it is ok for God to murder the children of evil doers? Specifically for Christianity that God has condemned you to death because Adam and Eve ate from the tree? That God is punishing you for things you never did and had control of? How is that Just?
