I don't have a problem with people believing in God.

But I have the same problem with "in your face" religious people as I do "in your face" gay people. I have nothing against gay men, but I can't stand people who are compulsively exuberant about their faith/sexuality. It is those types of people who give religion a bad name, by all means have your faith, if it helps you sleep at night, but don't force other people to listen to your ramblings.

That pretty much covers it for me too. As long as you keep it to yourself and it doesn't hurt anyone then feel free to believe whatever you like.

Yeah, I apply that to gays with the added ideal that it's done indoors, and behind curtains. Religion can be confined to curtained homes and churches.
I do hope gays don't get their own churches.

The only thing he has ever done right is push a pin into the massively over-inflated ego of Hollywood self-fappers.

Don't be so harsh, he's done some other things right... not a huge amount; but definitely some. Plus that speech at the Golden Globes was brilliant.

im pretty sure that you will all be hung for such blashpemy!

one religion is the only way to get world peace, and with globalisation globalising the globe, it is only a matter of time, and when that happens i can porove my faith through this one thread and hopefully i dont get hung.
