Now here's a thing. I agree with all the stuff you post about this religious nonsense and yet I am sitting here listening to choral evensong from Truro Cathedral. I shake my head and am totally bemused by all the readings and prayers but I just love the music. Music and buildings are the only good things to come out of organised religion.
Anon@9:16am - Music and buildings, absolutely. However, on a less exalted level, some good deeds come from religion. Too bad they insist a gawd is involved.
GAY-men, Christopher Hitchens! Preaching to the choir. I think it's immoral to teach people to fear death. F that and those that proselytize such utter garbage. The reason we have to die is so we keep in mind that life can be so much fun!
That first one --- SO true. And it works so well on most, doesn't it?
