Those complaints that have been submitted to me are confidential. Be assured that should anyone submit anything to me or the other mods on this site, they will remain confidential. I will not break the trust placed in me by bearing 'tales' from anyone to anyone about anyone.

As far as your suggestion that members here are afraid to respond to provocation, maybe you need to think about that from the other way around. What good would it do to trash past politicians? Shouldn't we move forward? Maybe it would be more affective to be a part of the solution.

I would suggest that those quick to pounce on supposed troll labelers, research reasons many here are quick to be suspicious. Rather than make generalizations regarding our members, figure out why some are suspicious.

Sorry kathy, If we don't ask question we stay stupid. There is plenty wrong

with this planet. We need to investigate where they went wrong.

I think Tony Blair is a very dangerous man.

A wolf in sheep's clothing, so to speak.

Would I be right in assuming that you are a Dawkinite. I'm no fan of Richard Dawkins myself, but would be up for discussion, if you like ?
Hi paddy, I am a pacifist, I am also a atheist/humanist. I dont like 'organised'
religion,of course what people do in the privacy of their homes is their business.

So I am not anti religious as such.

So you're in favour of disorganised religion, then?

I have a similar view on communism. What people do in their own homes is their own buiness (to a point) It's the organised variety that I don't like.(it dosen't work )

So I am not anti communist as such.

I want religion to be personal and private, we can read the bible/koran at home.

Churches and mosque's are from a time when people couldn't read.

Bit silly getting someone to read that which you can read yourself.

As Einstein said "rather childish'

Lol. Einstein said that. Maybe Einstein didn't understand people as well as he understood 'relativity'?

Of the top of my head, I would say that it has something to do with people coming together and not being loners or outcasts? it's not about getting someone else to read for you ? It's about people being together and sharing.
Sort of like going to a pop concert, when it would be easier just to buy a CD and listen to the music at home, in privacy ?Or maybe just sing a few tunes yourself ? Nah ! It wouldn't be the same, would it ?

I'm sure your beef with organised religion isn't just about people being so childish that they have to be read to ??? To become obsessively opposed to something just because a smart scientised thought it was childish ? is, erm, childish itself ?

I think you view organised religion as a threat of some sort ? A threat to something you believe in.
