VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|Broga|DATE|1365864173|CONTENT|I read the link to religion in Wales where it seems close to extinction.  The reasons for this mentioned various societal and family reasons, including those obtuse young people who just refuse to be indoctrinated.   What isn&#039;t mentioned is that belief makes no sense.  It is irrational, the word of God in the bible encourages savagery, slaughter, human sacrifice as well as describing talking snakes and a boat with all the creatures on the planet on board.   Yet in bewailing the decline in religion the priests continue as if the assumptions about religion should be accepted as if they were true.

Roy Jenkins, in a silly comment, thought the best way to deal with North Korea was to pray.   To pray?   Doesn&#039;t their God know what is happening already.  Prayer is asking an omniscient God to change its mind.  And we still get this stuff poured over us by the BBC funded by the licence payers as if we were all believers.   |EMAIL|denis.watkins12@btinternet.com|IP-ADDRESS|81.158.73.203|MODERATIONFLAG|
