Religion is politics.
Politics is religion.
Both have always gone hand in hand.
The human race will never go beyond their own narrow-minded philosophies, which will continue to be their main downfall.
Speaking from my own knowledge and experience, both the Catholic and the Islamic religions are extremely powerful and dangerous.
SIMON - Please don't confuse the Irish situation of IRA terrorism with the majority of the Catholic population. It is a political stance which dates back to the English invasion of Ireland, and cannot be labelled as a Catholic insurgence.
The trouble with labelling people by their religion, rather than by their political standing, has far too often been used as an excuse for most wars over the centuries.
People need to realise that religion creates the culture, and vice versa, as well as the politics of that culture being influenced by their religious beliefs.
It's a nasty circle of lies, deception, greed, and power.....and always will be.

Yes, I understood what your thoughts were by making that comparison, and I agree with that specific point.
However, from my point of view only, Catholicism is not a healthy religion to practice, and I speak from my own experiences.
I was born (1951) and bred in Dublin, and I witnessed more than enough horrors committed by the Catholic church to make sure that I became atheist by the time I'd reached my mid-teens.
That being said, I do not judge those who choose to practice any form of religion, because that is their choice, as long as they don't try to force it upon me in any way.
I believe in peace and goodwill towards all people, and am happy to help whenever or wherever I can, and don't expect to be judged by anyone either.
Stay safe and well, wherever you are...;-)
