ah yes! What a wondefully Irish and accurate way to decribe it Padraic. I mean there is no way that one can defend religion. It´s a no-brainer. Giving food to the poor is a way to proselytize, missionaries don´t go out to the depths of Africa to save lives, they wants their souls. A secular society should take care of its own without expecting payback in the ´afterlife´. Yes I despise the faithdull (nice typo) and yes, it is my business what people believe because it infects reason and ¨poisons everything¨ I am so happy to have somewhere to vent, thanks for the comments

I am not anti religion but I am anti organised religion
I don´t see any difference, sounds like a bit of a tautology. I mean to say that if someone holds a private, spiritual belief then that´s what it is. By definition religion is organized. Love the unlanced carbuncle analogy by the way.
I´m new to the forum formula and should probably reply to each individual comment however, in answer to Rhizomorph: I first heard, and liked, that sound bite in an AA meeting about the poison. It´s true and that´s why I joined this forum; to try to channel my frustrations. I´m a vicious kind of guy as opposed to virtuous and I allow myself these outlets athough I know they do me no good
