Subject: RE: BS: Stephen Fry Blasphemy
The point is being missed here
The problem with religion doesn't lie in people's beliefs, but in the fact that it has been forced down the throats of people for many centuries, right uo to the present day - the church Ireland is still fighting to hold a grip of children's minds though its ownership of schools
Fortunately that is a losing battle
If you want exaples of the effects of that grip, go look at the Magdelene Laundries - slave-run industries to punish young women for "sinning", or the industrial shools where children had a twisted form of education physically beaten into them
It is a bit rich that the Christians (genuine or hypocritical) should complain about being got at.
Step aside you people - your day is done - nobody is preventing you from believing what you wish - but stop forcing it on others.
Is that really unreasonable.
"none of whom I have ever had any issue with."
Then I imagined the "implant theory" or the "brainwashed Irish schoolchildren" or the "over-representation of slave-owners in the Travelling community"
Want me to put them all up again ?
