Agnosticism IS the most dishonest position

[Peebothuhlu]

The whole Ireland topic got started here because we were talking about how people justify the violence that they do. Rahn127 said that religion is by far the most common thing people use to defend doing violence. He said:

Rahn replied with a video link to Hitchens doing his usual rhetorical schtick. The video mentioned violence in Belfast, and I argued that the violence in Belfast is not religious in nature. It is political. 

Naturally, this got a reaction.

Ah.

*Nods*

Well.. as some one who's only got a 'Tangential' relation ship to the subject I would actually tend to agree with Rahn in regards to religion in Northern Ireland.

I personally know people who are now 'Here' and not 'There' and the simple reason is religious division, persecution and other wise horrible buggery involved with the situation there. Take the religion out of the aspect of the conflict and you've got one less splinter festering in the wound.

Cheers.

Not at work.
