After all, it was State Religion they were all escaping from in Britain, the Netherlands, France etc.
Quite ironic really! But then I also wonder what the founding fathers of America would make of it today given the state of the country today… Especially considering that as a certain act of defiance 10 years ago today proved, America has become the centre of any religious hatred for the entire world over, yet it was established as a country to be all encompassing! I would say that was ironic too, but I’m neither that stupid or insensitive.
EDIT
can’t be bothered as it’s obvious that religion and personal belief is the only thing you can be prejudiced about here
Haha, though you’ve forgotten the Orange 5, 29ers, fat bikes, what tyre etc though I’m afraid… 😉
Seriously though, religion is, was and always will be an effective way of controlling people who don’t question it, who want a better life for themselves and buy into the promises made, and those who like to think there is a higher purpose to life. Now we all know different religions have different methods of control, some stronger than others. What people chose to believe in is their own lookout, but if you don’t have the basic intelligence to even question your religion in the first place, well…
Me… Sundays are for mountain biking, or in summer the occasional game of cricket.
