Agree.

I love the people who cry out for Scientology to be banned, not allowed to build places of worship etc, cos its dangerous and a load of old nonsense, whilst at the same time following a religion themselves.

Yes but aside from a few cents in the collection plate which are voluntary - being Catholic doesn't cost me hundreds of thousands!

Plus I haven't been to Mass in a few weeks and my best mate is an atheist, yet to see the Parish Priest come round to threaten me!

Not at all. Firstly since all cultures have had some religion it looks like a belief in the supernatural is inate. Secondly the claim that religion is a cause of most wars isn’t empirically solid.

Ah let them have their little rant! Those of us who believe in God can smile along knowing that if we're wrong, then nothing. If THEY are wrong however, there's a very pissed off deity waiting!!!

Religions evolved from people trying to understand the world and their existence.

Bureaucracy and power also grew and power corrupts, and as a result, those within the institutions used their power/influence to control and manipulate people.

We see this clearly in the actions of corporations today.

This does not mean that every church should be torn down and religions should be done away with as some fanciful stories we told ourselves in the "unenlightened times".

Comparisons to scientology do not hold any weight.

I'm nearly 50 and I would say the CC had a controlling influence on my life to date.....maybe getting less so but still influencing it.

I was made to make a first communion, confirmation etc....I was too young to tell my parents I wasn't.

It took me to maybe 16 to stop attending masses.

Then a lot of my schooling was controlled by them as I went to Catholic schools. I had to study RE and Latin, no choice.

Even recently, I had to get my kids baptised to get them into the local schools, otherwise it was a >1hr drive to the nearest Educate Together school, and that wasn't practical. Plus they need to school with friends who live locally.

Their power is diminishing for sure, and nothing would make me happier for it to end, but we are getting there.

So, just to get my head around this, do you think that there are currently several millions of Syrians living in tent camps in Turkey and Lebanon because... they prefer the views from there?

That would be an unpopular opinion. Particularly in those camps, I would imagine.

Yes there are millions of Syrian refugees in overcrowded ill equipped camps in Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey.
And thanks to the so called "do gooders", a lot of which you find around here pontificating about helping refugees, those people will stay in those camps and will stay with poor resources.

Meanwhile the same do-gooders are welcoming in hundreds of thousands of mainly young adult male illegal economic migrants that are making their way across the Med in boats and that are nothing but a drain on resources.

Why do people always conflate economic migrants with refugees ?
And then why do people assume all are Syrian ?

Is it because it just plays better and tugs at the old heart strings ?

I would bet that 99% of those crossing the Med from Libya and North Africa are not Syrian and probably couldn't even find the place on a map.
And most of those are not from warn torn countries either.

And even of those that cross from Turkey it was admitted by the powers that be, including the pro "refugee" ones, that maybe only 60% were from Syria.

In terms of intelligence I think Stephen Fry is one of the most overrated TV personalities out there. He's described as a polymath but a polymath is someone who has reached expert level in several fields. Fry knows his way around English literature but knowing eclectic facts does not make one a polymath.

Its a very odd view to think things would be better or not without religion.

Religion WAS the creation of man trying to understand the world and make sense of it. It was/is a means of tribalism and control. It still offers purpose to people.

It makes no sense at all to think of man in the past without religion as it was the expression of his curiosity, logic, observations, culture, history.

It would be like saying emotion is the cause of most violence and we'd be better off without it. Its an integral part of our species especially in the past.

We have many things in our current culture that act like religion that have different names. Our beliefs have moved on to things more proven in science, yet the approach we take to many components of those findings are the same approaches that created religion.

A lot of this new feminism seems to infantilise women.

They're painted out as being weak, naive creatures who are incapable of doing wrong. They must be believed at all costs.

Are beliefs and religions very different things?  I would say that a belief is privately held, whereas a religion is at the very least a shared belief that eventually gathers followers and infrastructure.  You can debate about the negative effects of organized religions, but the truth is that every human social system is open to extreme abuse and corruption.  Big corporations, governments and militaries have all committed awful acts without any need for religion. 

Also, who defines what's right?

yourdeadwright

A religion has rules, practises to follow to be a part of,
A belief is something personal that is free to grow and change ,
"governments and militaries have all committed awful acts without any need for religion "

Religions are free to grow and change.
Yes they have, but would you agree that that is a declining trend in secular societies?

The idea of a world without religion seems to be preceded by the idea that logic can replace superstition.  The problem with that is that there are certain questions logic cannot address (such as creation and death).  If all religions were disbanded tomorrow, what would stop a new religion springing up?

A publicly unacceptable opinion is that Shane Moseley was wronged when he had to give over his championship belt to his wife following their divorce.

Completely wrong and I don't give a bollox that she 'supported him an made it possible'. He was the man who got in the ring and fought. Not her. F*ck sake, let the man hold on to his belt.

Yes, grossly unfair. Imagine doing that somebody. She took three off him.

He spent his whole life working for those belts, long before he met her.


Why would she want them anyway. They're replicas and only of value to him. What a spiteful weirdo.

I understand the negative sentiment towards the Catholic church, but some churches are beautiful buildings.  Although the religion itself seems to be dying in Ireland, perhaps they should be kept as a reminder of the dangers of blind faith.

In Dublin at least, knock most of 'em down for public housing. The land is valuable, the woo ceremonies to a half dozen midweek attendees are not, and they could go elsewhere anyway.

Plough up every golf course in Dublin for public housing, while you're at it. Full of old self-entitled farts who spend their days worrying about people wearing the wrong type of trousers while half arsedly hitting a ball around. Pathetic. It's dying off at a slower rate than the RCC but it's still dying off, and I shall not weep for either.

Dunno if it's been mentioned already. I recently had an argument with 2 women, one of them my wife. Both women neither watch or play sport but got highly offended by my following opinion.

Women's teams sport will never be as popular as men's teams sports. I had to emphasis the 'team sports' bit as I think some individual sports are on a par with mens.

Crazy how shocked they got at me even suggesting it, but I'll stand by it. Might not be an publicly unacceptable opinion, just an opinion my wife finds unacceptable ?!?

Only property or land owning people in gainful employment should have the right to vote.

If you don't have a vested interest in the governance of the country or something to lose then you shouldn't have a voice in the outcome.

It's become very clear as of late party's are buying the unemployed vote/people seeking citizenship to go on social welfare vote.

Unpopular perhaps but I think as it is currently is unsustainable and leading us down a dead end.
