I can understand your frustration Kev, and to some degree I agree with what you
say. I am not an atheist, but my view of God is wildly different to what is
peddled in religions, even Buddhism. We are in the fantastic position of not
having anything to be offended about, no angry God, no institution to defend, no
practices to justify to anyone. If an atheist has really thought about
spirituality and their own take on things, then I say well done, since he/she
would have arrived at their own conclusions, not just taken on something some
other madman/woman has coughed up. Let the children play with their imaginary
friends - it can't hurt us anymore, unless we allow it to. The best way to
counteract the insanity is to laugh at it, because we have to remain sane for
everyone else. What do you think?

They have an athiest on today, sat seperated from the god squad,
attacked for causing offence. What of the offence athiests have to put
up with day after day. Not a tradegy passes without the religious
selfrightious, pontifacating thanking "God" for saving them, .This
offends me greatly. Our politacal system in our so called secular
society is intamatly linked with religion, from the prayers before the
House can sit and that fact that the Bishops who interfere in politics
from the House of Lords to lowest level of local government, This
offends me greatly. Then one of the god squad said there are few
athiest on a sinking ship. This really offends me but were can we go
when we are offended by the religious.
There is no god, no angels or heaven, no devil just the sickness in
some people. Religion is used by the weakminded to hid in the sand and
religion is used by the powerful to control. Jesus died crying on his
cross, brave eh and muhamad was a peopdophile{ I mean how old was
Fatima when he married her}.
There I hope i have offended.
