I agree with every bit of what you put Michael till you dragged a religion into it.

You are as misguided as Boo Bad above, where he rattles on about the Q'ran but somehow fails to point out the bible and it's similar proclamations.

Just because most people in the west don't take the bible as meaning anything serious and in less developed countries they retain the superstition that only a few do here, doesn't mean you can differentiate.

I recall in UK courts, you can invoke a superstition in order to persuade the court you are not telling porkies. Are you sure courts and religion are only joined at the hip in foreign climes? Do you think the governments of some countries control their areas in the same way Westminster controls Belfast? Do you hold Cameron to account for the appalling religious comments of Robinson the other day?

I wish governments did control their countries. Then economic sanctions might do something, but I'm not quite as naive as you are.

Something about gnomish in one of your earlier posts. According to scripture, gnomes can only be associated co messiah emeritus, and I am a full fat, caffeine saturated co messiah. Do get your facts right when talking about religion eh?
