"Currants Bw..."

[Niall_Quinn]

Leave off, this comes from a person who again thinks religion has been exploited rather than religion being created to exploit in the first place.

Not true. I believe there are people who genuinely believe this stuff (I know a few) and have no intention of exploiting anyone. But they are being exploited themselves. Of course organised religion itself was a racket from the get go. I don't think they really pretend otherwise, do they? They have always set themselves up as privileged and superior and possessing a God given right to dictate.

Go on then. I'll bite. How am I being exploited?

I was talking about people who believe in their religion.

I’m taking issue with you having claimed previously that God and Religion wasn’t man made

Now you can believe that like Letters does and whilst I disagree that’s your consistent point of view

But it’s a bit weird to think that and mock Letters believing it. We aren’t talking about the organisational structure of religion, we are talking about the religions themselves.

There isn't even a possibility I claimed religion isn't "man-made." So this must be some sort of game, the need for which escape me.

And you accused me of wriggling out of things

Most religion is man-made, actually.

Apart from your one?

That’s always the interesting stretch made by religious people that every other religion is an obvious man made falsehood but theirs is Gods words to your bible page.

Don’t get in a flap it wont be the first thing you’ve ever said that contradicts something you’ve said previously. It won’t be the last.
I will find the exact statement you made on the subject later (by later I mean when I’ve finished work).
