Can't agree there Restless, BUT the way men perceive religion could qualify

nail...head...hit....! Spot on John.

Too many people use religion like a hammer to pound their hatred into everything they do.

that is because they have interpreted the message to suit their own ends......rather than what the religion actually means.
I am spiritual rather than religious.........there is a vast difference.

[Restless]

Yep vast. There is something i can appreciate

To me its just the fanatics Restless, but because they get a lot of media coverage, it rubs of on the majority, when in fact its only a very small minority that are guilty

[Restless]

Yeah I was kinda getting at that. Though perhaps not directly

Problem with this argument is that, with islam, it is not only fanatics who are a threat, it is also the mainstream, who wish to form a parallel culture, based on religion, in countries which have at the core of their existence the separation of church and state, not to mention gender equality ...

One could apply the same argument to the Roman Catholic Church: it is only a few peadophile priests who are giving the whole church a bad name. Funny though, I don't think I've come accross this argument on AccyWeb.

And this "very small minority" seems to be stirring up a lot of feces in the world. I seem to remember that a lot of Germans brought up this argument after WWll ... the nazis were only a small minority ... Hitler, Himmler, Goering, Goebels, Borman, Mengele, and a half dozen others ... but they worked damned hard.

And Jaysay, if I get red korma for this, I will be sure to share it with you And I'll even get a nice white whine to go with it ... Canadian, of course.

don't forget the naan bread and the hayteadoms

There was a program on TV about this, might have been last week. It is disgusting the way the Catholic Church had ignored and worse, covered it up for so long. This particular program was about the Catholic Church in Ireland.

Agree with you about the cover up ... but if one tries to keep in mind that the Catholic Church leadership is no different from most other governments, then it shouldn't be surprising. And we all know that governments, even the wurst ones, are adept at covering their asses.

(Couldn't resist the Jaysayism, esp. given the nationality of the current Holy Father)
