For once we agree Pip;with the proviso that they stay out of my face.
However, I was raised Irish Catholic,perhaps the nastiest,most primitive,most bigoted, superstitious and plain hateful form of Catholicism ever invented. I can sympathise with Moonman.I still feel that way about the bunch of sadists,incompetents,mental defectives and diverse religious neurotics who were put in charge of my education under the cunning disguise of saintly men.(De La Salle brothers)
My contempt for those gobshites extends to the catholic church as an organisation and its top minions,but not all of its members. I am not anti religion but I am anti organised religion,which I see as an unlanced carbuncle on the arse of civilisation.
