Thought for the Day


I've been keeping my eye on this quote for several days now. I’m itching to use it, so here goes:

“Religion will eventually become as offensive & unacceptable as racism.” ~Chris O’Dowd

Personally, I hope this doesn't come true. I think religion is basically a good thing in our lives. What I object to is the selfish religious practices that do harm to other people. Religion is not judgmental and hurtful; people are; and ecclesiastic staff are people. They make as many mistakes in theology and religious practice as the Bible advises us not to.

Religion ought to be a force for good. But we know it often serves opposite aims.

Think this weekend how we can change this for the good.

Peace to you!
