Faith in the State

[glenn_uk]

Comrades,

Been away for a week - sorry for the lack of correspondence.
(Heh... some might welcome it).

Penning an article on religion and faith, particularly as
it pertains to the UK. If you have comments, suggestions
or questions please let me know - I would like to address
them in it.

Thanks,

Glenn.

One question, yes, Glenn: Does the UK, even in small towns, have corruption with the "Holy Men' attacking/raping children?

Hi...

To be honest, I'm not sure. There have been various "rings" of
nonce priests out of control, and yes - the standard procedure
of hush it all up and move them to another unsuspecting parish
was followed by the Catholic Church.

AFAIK, such behaviour is pretty much confined to the Catholics.

This all kind of went beyond the scope of what I wanted to
write about - the evangelical nature of extreme Christianity,
taken to a different level *and direction* to that of Christ's
teachings. And also the the allignment of Christian leaders
with far-right politics, which is the very opposite of genuine
Christian teachings.

Blessed are the rich? The poor find it difficult to enter the
Kingdom of Heaven? When you serve the rich, you are
really serving Christ? Unless someone cannot read, and
does not own a Bible, it's tough to see how they can take
away such a perverted form of the Bible.

Once again, such behaviour is pretty much unique to the US,
but the US regards it as totally normal.

Indeed, Revelations holds quite dire warnings of retribution
for those who deliberately take away the actual meaning
of Christ.

Anyway - article is finally up, and I'm starting to get with
this new fangled picture-thingy too.

BSY,

Glenn.
