    hear hear...and not only are these people blood guilty they are also guilty of turning any thinking person away from God......they say they act in the name of the father..but if you ask them what that name is..they don't know.

    Religion, in general, has a very violent past and is violent today. There is a church on every corner but look at world conditions. There is no unity...why, in the U.S. alone, there are 10 main religions with over 10,000 different sects or divisions...you speak boldy in your writings...maybe we have this in common? ...thank you.

    A compelling piece, dripping with irony and rage. Powerful words to challenge the fundamentalists and show the reader deep inside your social conscience. Bravo.
    love, Allie xxxx
