Ok I have done my community service and now we can get to the more important topic of the day. Our innate desire to be atheists!
After the pope decided to visit up last week, we have been having huge uproars concerning this ‘state’ visit.
Yes it was a state visit; the pope is leader of a small country called the Vatican. Yes he will preach Catholism to everyone, regardless of the reason behind the visit; after all it is his job. His views and beliefs are his own and the fact that he tries to share them is a good thing. It boils down to freedom of speech, he is allowed according to law to say what he likes. Just because he does not share your beliefs does not give you a reason to try to rip him to shreds.
I am not a catholic, I certainly do not like them but that does not mean I don’t want him to visit. How can anyone know what it is like without being exposed to other things? What happened to tolerance?
This is ironic, any other country in the world we would not have this kind of hatred. It would appear that the UK has become a state where if we are not like the loudest voiced people we are wrong and evil and are not welcome. This by proxy would make 50% of our population not welcome in their own country.
So I now belong to the minority that advocates tolerance and peace. Maybe I should also leave and let our current mentality destroy the country before coming back once everyone has got it out of their system.
Let us bring back the past and reinstate tolerance.

Oookkkieee, a pat on the back for LTM for this article. Though BG is not particularly religious, BG knoes better that when it comes to religion and tolerance, it's a never ending topic and somehow have the uncanny ability to bring out the worst in people..sigh..
ReplyDeleteI commend LTM for advocating tolerance and peace and wish that for his fellow country men to exercise restraint and to maintain their sanity!
