Election Year or Fear!

rA, I think it fair to say that you exhibit anti Christian and pro Muslim tendencies in many of your posts and thus assume these are what you feel. Like me , think you are anti most religions but your love of the underdog underpins this ando so you come across as stated.

If I do, GP, then I’ve either been deliberately misunderstood or I’ve made my case very badly and if it’s the latter, I apologise.
I was brought up as a Christian, went to a CoE Primary School, used to sing in one of the country’s leading choirs, am a godfather and regularly raise money for the upkeep of our local church, albeit as a piece of history.
I believe that the example of Jesus Christ is one which we would all do well to follow however, possibly like you, I feel that the original example has been tarnished by the use of organised religion as a means of social control and I have no time for the hypocrisy which can all too regularly be seen as synonymous with religion throughout the centuries.

I’m not pro Muslim at all. As I’ve said, I feel most organised religions have a great deal to answer for however I believe there to be a clear and obvious link between those with a racist agenda and those who aim to discredit/blame Islam at every opportunity. If I have a creed it’s one of ‘live and let live’ and ‘do unto others as you would have done to you’.

Hope that’s cleared that up. I’m not anti any religion, neither do I subscribe to any, but - curiously on the anniversary of Auschwitz - I’m opposed to the persecution and demonisation of those who choose to follow one…however misguidedly.
