By suggesting this, one is in fact declaring one big unifying truth, that could be classed as a religion, if not an organised one. I like that religion exists, because it symbolises a choice, and it represents me the fact that we just don't ever know. Who's to say that Arnold with his Catholicism is more or less right than Ahmed with his Islam, or Tezza with her idolisation of secular icons? My favourite is Jedi, or Fordism.<BR/>You can always be intrigued what does not apply to you. That's why people like others' art and problem pages in magazines. To be fair the Church has lead to some very major things, like for example where would Mozart or Beethoven have been without the Church? And many a battle has been won with faith in a greater being, that has shaped many things we hold as good in this world.<BR/>And like, there Pope wears a nice hat. What my problem with religion is the way it is organised. For me it is the right idea, just used wrongly. That then explains the pompous services, gold lined churches and the rich organists. If the people followed the teaching of the Bible or any other text the World would probably benefit. Maybe.<BR/>For me atheism and religion are like punk and mainstream. They both require each other to exist. You cannot have the counter culture image without a culture to counter.<BR/>Let the Christians burn the Heathens, and let the Heathens curse the Christians to a life of hell!<BR/>I liked your blog. =)WhiteRabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03641966131825086838noreply@blogger.com
