The gospel according to Jethro, followed by the gospel according to Hazel O'Connor.Originally Posted by Ben
And getting back to the discussion. I personally have nothing against anyone practicing whatever faith they are comfortable with. It's when the faith they practice is put before the well being of others (Jehovahs Witnesses allowing their children etc to die for want of a blood transfusion) that rankle me. I also think some people use religion as a crutch and allow the church to make those hard decisions for them. Today I was told by my boss, a practicing christian that she would have a word with whoever is on duty at the pearly gates come my time to see if she could get me in. Explaining that my aetheism was the result of my not wanting to understand the truth. I get this kind of response on a regular basis when I state my beliefs. The term sanctimonious passes my lips a lot.Originally Posted by Hazel O'Connor
