I'm not a 100% 4 islam and 100% against Christianity, I believe in god, i don't believe in religion.... I think the roman catholic church is a joke it's just a money racket... I remember when i started my 1st job as a trainee hairdresser i was on £28 old irish currency, i gave £3a week to the charity concern and every year my wages went up a little i gave a little more... 1 friday evening i went 4 a pint with my dad and we where talking about it and every 1 z 2 me that the money i send probably doesn't even get 2 poor countries....... 2weeks ago i applied 4 a job with there fund raisers and do u know what my starting wage was, No experience nothing, between 800euros to 1000euros.. that's robbing people of the money they send to poor countries because that's a wage that people with years of experience in other jobs would get!!!!

Secondly, when i went up to a mass 4 my sons confirmation they passed around bags down the Isles for collection, so i gave my son change 2 put in it..., 5mins L8r they sent around baskets for more money, Another collection... Where does the money go? the priest is driving around in a 08 car has a lovely 4 bedroomed home to himself, smokes like a trouper and no doubt sips a few bottles of wine during the week, o and he has a housekeeper and gardener.......... People think their giving 2 the poor but their giving their money only to the catholic church!!!!!!!!

anyway i'm not saying roman catholics r bad people what i'm saying is people in power all over th world use the religion as a weapon nd rob the poorand rob the good christians that try to help th poor.

As 4 muslims, Qu'ran is way outta date like come on, the world changes humanity changes, nobody lives like they did in the biblical days, it's impossible to.. so that's just another religion that has got iy all wronge....

I don't think God would have put life on this earth if he didn't want it to progress r change
