As I said in my last blog, religion has more holes in it than a piece of Swiss cheese. More sanctioned rape and death than a South American death squad. More sex than the average softcore porn film. More murders during a blackout in Whitechapel with a buy one get one free sale on scalpels while Jack the rippers on the loose!

Though as Spice-the-cat mentioned and Nicky (see comments) Spirituality is ok in some cases, but if your going to be part of an organised religion you must follow it to the letter. This means you can’t accept one thing and not accept the other. Example: You can’t be a Catholic and use contraception, which is what so many Catholics I know of do. There’s also, thou shall not kill in the bible, and what do they do, Kill! Same goes for Muslims it says in their holy book (the Koran), an attack on any person even a non-believer is tantamount to an attack on the whole Human race. (the previous statement may differ slightly to the original line in the Koran). If there’s any religious buffs out there who know, leave a comment please.

You get the idea of what im trying to say, and I understand that according to Spicy the terrorists in Islam work from a different book. But it’s an organised religious book all the same. Still there are elements in main stream Islam that would still give you a good kicking or worse for having an opinion on their religion.

Anyway back to my comments at the end of my last blog. A year or so ago I read in the paper, as part of Tony Blair’s plan to radically change the House of Lords (or in reality fill it with rich businessmen and cronies to pass any thing he wants!) was going to fill it with community leaders and business leaders (money for peerages anyone?) to make it a true representation of the people. Get this, religious leaders will be included too! Which is what worried me! Why? Just think… a House of commons and a House of lords in fifty years or so down the line full of religious leaders. They could be in the House of Commons and the House of Lords and in all parties by then! Religion in the UK is forcast to make a come back in the next fifty years or so, owning to large scale immigration mostly. If they get over fifty percent in each house and the population of the country is fifty percent Strictly religious there’s going to be trouble! Just think no party could get elected without pandering to the predominant religious group or all of them, or you would have to be part of a certain religion to even join a party! Just as it is in the U.S.A, and we don’t have a proper constitution to protect us which means all our laws would be open to change by these people!

I know what your all thinking religious people can’t get on as it is, they wont have to get on because they all have one thing in common! They are all moral prudes, here’s a couple of things they would agree on banning.
First and foremost any attacking questioning or undermining of their religions. Just as they have done now but on a larger scale, this would effectively stifle debate on the subject and effectively strike a blow against free speech too!
Second: Banning of revealing cloths, telling you how to dress because it doesn’t meet their moral code!
Third: Banning of music they don’t agree with, i.e bands such as Marilyn Manson or anything they don’t want subverting them or anything they don’t understand. Even Brittany Spears and people like her, I may not like her or her music but I agree with her right to sing what she likes and dress as she likes! Thus freedom of expression takes a blow too.
Forth: Contraceptives, such as the morning after pill, condoms and abortion ending the right and freedom of women to whether they wish to have children or not! There’s also the conditioning they will receive in school enforced by the state, freedom of thought out of the window! Most of the list compiled above is in force now but not as strict as it will be! I Know what your thinking now where are all the politicians to stop this? Well they are all under the thumb of the religious businessmen who are also part of both Houses. Who by the way enforce all the above i.e don’t let music play on their MTV’s, no proper debate on talk shows no real news on the tele, no exposing documentaries on anything unless it views them in a positive light! Any politician who steps out of line or doesn’t support the system will be hounded out of office! Thus ends any voice of dissent in the parties or the government!, and the religious tosspots have control once again!
Of course most of this happening depends on the electorate, which we’re assuming will be somewhat religious or forced in to supporting these laws and moves by Political Correctness and fear.

I’ll leave you with this though: True belief cannot be legislated! So how do people learn it then? Answer: Indoctrination from birth.
