Replying To Freethinker: "Very interesting question re the worlds major religions. I would ask another one. What would the world resemble if the different religions hadn't been hijacked over the millennia by bloodthirsty and power hungry emperors and despots. In my opinion, the propagation of the various religions was always a smokescreen for land and assets grabs. Look at the way Mr Putin cosied up to the leader of the Orthodox Church when he first decided that Russia's "strategic" interests were more important than Ukraines right to self determination. And there have other such scenes over the centuries. The Crusades were another example."
Was discussing this subject with a friend earlier. Most religions are actually pretty good as regards values/morals/guidelines on living a good life, it's human beings #### the whole thing up.
I do not support any political party; however, I do vote for all on my voting ticket in order of choice / preference using the PR system, there's a little bit of a contradiction there because by me voting for the candidate only I am indirectly voting for that person's party.
Our democracy in every sense of the word is more honest / acceptable than most other countries imo, our system is not rigged either but perhaps it may be flexed a little from time to time but rarely.
I watched with interest the party leaders' interview with Collette Fitzpatrick last night, in this instance the leader was Sinn Fein's Mary Lou Mc Donald.
- - - - Interesting.
Question. - What excuse will the super powers or indeed any other country have for starting wars when religion is finally eradicated.
