Ian you have a great sense of humour......to think that I would actually believe in something I find absurd.
My anger is aimed solely at man.....who clearly created or invented God...and his silliness over this whole issue of God and religion. The reason I get so angry is that I and most others have spent life being dictated to by religious organisations who despite others views or non belief still have the power to make laws that compel folk to do things or prevent folk from saying or doing things that the religion alone disapproves of. Examples include closing everything down on a Sunday, gay marriage, abortion, contraception and this constant refusal to let women have equality within their organisation.
"O would some Power the gift to give us. To see ourselves as others see us! It would from many a blunder free us, And foolish notion"....... Robert Burns
Whilst that could be applied to most folk doing most things it is especially applicable to many of the world's religions and their silly practices and beliefs.
Stevie if you read ALL my posts you will find I stick to the issue and have never directly insulted anyone other than a general inference that I find all religion and belief in God silly and illogical....I do not know how to say it any other way.....I tend to treat everyone as an individual and do not let differences in religion or politics get in the way of friendship.....hell if I did I would have no friends........ Just for the record I have band members and other musicians I work with who are Roman Catholic, Jewish, Church of Scotland and also no fixed religion or opinion. The subject of religion is hardly even mentioned. The only arguments we have are over music and band issues....and even they are infrequent.
