Now for a biggie.
Everyone has a fundamental right to follow their beliefs, no matter how wacky. What I do not want is for them to force their views on me. For myself I do believe in God, despite what my sons and Richard Dawkins say.
Catholicism
A church that has historically been tainted with brutality and torture, and, more recently with allegations of child abuse. I was born and notionally raised a Catholic but married in a CofE church and subsequently divorced. It is very hard to believe in the Catholic church when, despite pleading poverty owns billions of dollars worth of property.
Islam
To me Islam occupies the place where Catholicism once stood. Instead of the crusades we now have the jihad. Instead of the Spanish Inquisition we haveAl-Queda. Like a lot of religons Islam has its fair share of nutters. But in Islams case these are nutters with weapons in a world where it is never been easier to manufacture an atomic device.
I have read both the Bible and the Koran in parts and to me they appear to be pretty much the same but I believe in neither. They are both made by man as “the word of God” I believe in God period.
To my mind the world would be a better place if those two books never existed and we all just saw God. In the end it is the ‘word of God’ that divdies us all.
Judasism coming soon
