Fundamentalist Christians!!! Oh no!! That's a crazy bunch. I was just reading about one of them in the paper this morning. (I forgot his name, he wasn't one of the big ones.) Anyway, this sicko was having a fit saying that none of the millions of dollars donated to the WTC funds should be given to anyone gay. Lovely, what a fine Christian man, do unto others and all! What an ass. As far as fighting over the details, even within the same religion people do that. That's why there are so many denominations, crazy mess. What about Ireland?? Those poor Catholic kids trying to get to school!!
You do discuss with me, and I love it!! I enjoy reading your opinions because they ARE so different from mine sometimes. (Sometimes they are very similar too.) I so appreciate the fact that you have made me search out the answers to some things that I may not have otherwise. Thank you, by the way!

Any fundamentalists are bad. Whatever religion. I'm not religious, can't understand religions anyway, but try to be tolerant. The problem is always that religions cause wars, cause problems. Apart from that it is abused big time. The Taliban is one example, a very bad one, American tv-preachers are similar in my opinion.

Don't put too many feathers there anymore btw, I can hardly go to the bathroom... (but thanx to you the same!)

I take it that you read the following post on the Belfast issue:

It did annoy me big time then, still, when I think of it.

No, I hadn't read that post. I don't think I had come across you yet. Sick stuff, I was so horrified at that. Kind of strange how the 11th was just a few days later...
What is with the whole religion "my god can beat up your god" thing. Really stupid.

Childish is the best word to describe it. Any reason to fight is stupid, but details on how to read the bible (the only difference between Catholics and Protestants) makes a holy war between Islam and Christianity look normal.

I just can't get it. Religion is a way to flee away for reality.
