Makes me think of the kind of rubbish I used to see when I used mirc years ago, chat with someone in a cybersex channel and the 1st question they ask you is - 'are you a muslim/hindu/catholic/jew?'
I do feel sort of sorry though, for those people to whom religion has been bashed into their skulls with a big hammer, from such an early age, that it takes priority over EVERYTHING they do.


ps: to hankhavelock - Carry on with your posts, I can see that you are on a perpetual wind up, and like to throw out random bait to the forum and see what you can catch. kind of like fishing, from the comfort of your own living room.

Religion has always laid claim to be the authority on any natural process or phenomenon in order to reinforce its power base and hold over adherents.

I had a strictly ' religious ' upbringing, but the secular education process enabled me to have a broader perspective on the many of the values that various religions lay claim to. At the end of the day, and without wanting to give offence to fellow forum members, while Religion appears to be a need fundamental to the human condition ( Karl Marx, excepted ), for the most part religions appear to be ill-conceived synthetic constructs, heavily flawed by many philosphical processes.

Worship should come from within.

and if that gives you a , why then, bless you !
