Two things I'd like to say
Religion is only relevant beyond politics where your countries government hasn't already resolved the problem in other more practical ways, so when folks from somewhat more backward countries move here and then carry on with their religious ways like they're still in their birth place it often gets conflicting.
And any religion where you have to hide your own natural born instinctive behaviours from yourself within your own head is going to seriously fuck you up, like if you have to hide your sex life from your religion, then you're in the wrong religion, surely.
Other than that, believe what you like, whatever gets you thru your day, but don't harshly judge others based upon it.

I agree with that 100%
My James had his own beliefs. He believed in God but didn't believe in churches or organised religion. He'd say "God will hear your prayers, whether you go to church or not." and often quoted his father that he would only go to Church for "Hatchings, Matchings and Dispatchings" (said in a deep Devon accent) :D
He knew that I didn't believe in a God but he was fine with that, and I was fine with his own personal beliefs.
Intolerance is intolerance no matter how you call it.

Agreed back, and thank you for the phrase:
Hatchings, Matchings and Dispatchings, I love that and am appropriating it from now on, cheers! :D

Hatches, Matches and Dispatches
is the slang term for the births, marriages and deaths section of your local newspaper. First time I've ever seen it applied to a church.
