I wouldn't ridicule your beliefs Cherie, you are entitled to have them if you wish, I don't share them but that isn't the same as mocking them.

My main issues are that often in religion there is an element of running peoples lives in a detrimental way, like blackmailing women not to use contraceptives because the church think they should have 20 babies, or telling women they are only modest if they cover themselves from head to foot, or the more serious issues like mutilating little girls, accusing children of witchcraft, forcing unmarried mothers to give up babies, oppression of women, trying to stop them receiving education, and so on, those I object to strongly.
