but I am also sure that it is safer to be of another faith , homosexual, or adulterous in western countries than in muslim states ,- but I suppose it would not serve jim and muskets purposes to speak against that!

Poor chap, they're all ignoring you! But I won't. I'll speak against it. It would be safer everywhere if no-one bothered with "having a faith". 'Tis "faiths" that fuel hatred towards gay people, women, etc. Claiming that the nation of your faith is a tad better than the nations of other people's faiths is just a big lie. The fact is, we're not better, we're just slightly less bad. We're very bad instead of very very bad. And, in many respects, even that's a moot point. Women bishops, anyone? Gay marriage, guys?
