I`m certainly not against any beliefs you have. You have the right to believe what you want, & the right to say it. Just as I have the right to say what I want. As long as people don't break the law, free speech is part of our life. Not so in some countries.
We`ve been here before Russ. you are a believer, I`m a non believer.
Every war has a cause. Religion has played a very large part in most conflicts I have ever either been involved in, or read about in text books.
You believe your religion is the "true" & right one. Other people believe their religion is the right one, immediately, there is a conflict. People have killed each other for their beliefs since time began.
I have no intention of researching religion m8. I couldn't live long enough to get through them all. I prefer to spend my time doing something I want to do, even if its washing the pots.
I hold no bad feelings toward people who believe in God. Just as I hold no bad feeling toward anyone who believes in Science.
I cant remember the last time "Non believers" went onto the streets ranting & chanting about their beliefs, or the last war which had "Non believing" at its roots.
