Folks - (FiremanCarl, Damien, Jack, DhWeaver, Macho, USA_Limey), you must be under siege out there from religious dogma etc. It's unknown where I live. I've been mulling over the idea of going to some church just see if there are any folks up here who actually believe in the actual literal word of the bible....I have no one on the ground out here to argue over religion with. It's soul destroying!! Cheers.

I live in a working class estate in the north of the UK, and I can tell you that no one here discusses religion much - I mean there are lots of folks who have 'faith', but very few know the texts in the bible beyond what they remembered at Sunday school or at the morning prayers when they were at regular school. They don't want to come out or in. I reckon most folks just hope they can continue somehow after they've dropped dead. I think it's wishful thinking, but that's the way people are. My gut feeling is that many folks who 'believe' round here, will not be told (or persuaded), to believe or not believe, they just want the comfort of the faith thing. Personally I think it's time the human race got a grip and took it on the chin when they expire, but humans have huge ego's so that's not going to happen just yet. Roll on evolution.
