Priests have made a pretty good living on the back of something that has no evidence of existence
Free lodging , food and few quid all funded by desperate people hoping for the afterlife
And in the middle east its the same
The aim of Israel is to get as many Jewish people from wherever into what they think is a holy place given to them by God
The problem is they have taken land from Palestinians that think that God gave them the land
It's a simple problem which could be solved by compromise
These are religious people ......your kind of people ...but they are unable to compromise because they believe in stupid fairy tales and they KNOW they are right
God and the interpretation of his myth in religious books is the problem
Liberal Jewish , Arabic and Christian people have lived as neighbours all over the Middle East for hundreds of years
But the our way is the only way nonsense is now firmly entrenched
There is no way to solve this as religion when it comes down to the basics is about as flexible as a crowbar
Hitchings , Carl Sagan , Dawkins and other intelligent men have failed to persuade these zealots of the ridiculous beliefs that back all these wars up , it would be great to visit planet earth 1000 years after we on here are all dead and there is no religion but they will still be scrapping over what God said
