Of course there is a god, one only has to look around, and see the beauty in nature, any person with an IQ above 50 knows someone is pulling the strings ! But a religious one, I doubt it!! Anywhere religion shows it's hypocratic face, there is depair in one form or another....When I hear a person spouting off about their religion being the only way me or you can reach heaven I cringe !!! Religions have one thing in common, their brainwashing tools.......I myself who was raised a catholic, remember saying the rosary night afternight afternight while listening to cardinal bishop Sheen/Boston repeat the hail Mary's over, and over until i and my other siblings where hoarse !!!! All organized religions are the same, the harshest is of course Islam......Iv'e seen, and you have seen muslim children sit for hours upon hours reciting verses from the Qu'ran, with their legs tucked underneath them !!! These madrassars/schools they call them, that teach them not 1+1=2 or the arabic ABCs, but hatred of all who don't agree with their beliefs !!!! The world is at a crossroad, if radical islam is not dealt with in stern ways, there is little hope for peace anywhere.....One only has to look at newsreels from radical islamic states, and see nothing but sameness,the women all dress the same as do the men, that should tell you somrthing, it tells you that their lifes are not theirs, they are in other words blades of grass bending to the wind of radical islam!! If it was up to me, I telling all the countries that allow these maddrassas/hate schools to shut them down, if they won't comply, then we will shut them down for them.....Thats not PC I know, they can put PC on the shelf until we bring back some sanity to the world........
