However nutty, most religions are tolerant of others, seeing the news this morning, 21 Christians beheaded. (as we know, this is not an isolated incident) ISLAM seems intolerant of any religion other than its own, although christened a catholic, I'm pretty well non religious although a firm believer that Jesus Christ existed, just not in the way portrayed in the bible.
Religion is comforting for many especially the elderly, who are left without family.
33 years ago I was told by my priest that in his eyes (the eyes of the church), I wasn't even married and that to have my daughter christened, it would be required that I re-marry in a catholic church, that was the beginning of the end for me with religion. what nonsense!!!
