While I was out I kept on thinking about religion. The very mention of the subject is sure to make my blood boil.
The established religion preaches that it is one of love and compassion. That may in part be truthful today, however history shows us that what it actually practiced and preached were inequality and division. Now another religion from the same family has become active in our midst. It claims to be the religion of peace, when what it actually practices and preaches are hatred and intolerance. It kills people for even the slightest failure to comply with its teachings, just like the churches did once upon a time in this country. And of course religion always plays the victim when its beliefs are challenged or criticised. Surely it is time for a little honesty in the discussion. Let's start by calling things by their proper name.
