NEED TO BE DESTROYED.
The best thing that could happen in my life would be complete and utter destruction of the Christian church.

That's not to say it's the only religion I hate, but it's the religion with the largest, most depressing grip on the place I live.

Now, I'm flipping running for my life before my head is torn off for not being all about Jesus, or Mohammud (SP) and Moses for that matter.

I used to really despise religion and think that all the world's problems would be solved if it just withered away. Now, I think that's a bit simplistic and may in fact have negative consequences. There are many different varieties of religion and one that is moderate, tolerant of other viewpoints and at ease with science and modernity should not harm anyone. I remember seeing a lady on television who said she didn't believe her prayers could influence events in the physical world but believed that through them God gave her the insight and strength to deal with her problems. I thought 'Wow! now that's the kind of religion I can deal with' Unfortunately, you don't seem to see many of those people. I see loads of people who think they can change the weather on particular days or get miracle cures if they visit certain places or say certain prayers.

But what really makes me dispair is when I see people in the 21st century in the world's most technologically advanced nation trying to get creationism taught in science class. Thankfully, even the really religious people in Ireland haven't formed a movement to do that.
