Oh...
Just thought I'd clarify that last post:
I've no problem with faith itself. Faith, belief in a higher power whatever it may be...I've no problem with that at all. Whatever makes you happy and all that....it's just the insidious nonsense that the men (and it's always men) who wrote various prejudiced shit for purposes of power and control, and stuff that made sense 4000 years back but doesn't now...all the stuff that comprises organised religion: that's where the problem lies.
Believe what you want, follow whatever your heart tells you to do, but don't live your life in fear and guilt just because some guy in the 4th C had a fear of women or 7th C thought he heard voices in his head...
