Religion on a small scale, within local communities, can make a big difference to peoples lives but so much more, given the resources of these organisations, could be done.
I personally do not believe in the existence of a God but Im happy to respect others peoples delusions ;) !

I don't understand this ..

because they read it somewhere in the bible.
what made parents from opposing churches throw rocks at small children
because they wanted to go to a school in thier area..??(protestant and catholic)
because they each beleive that thier god is the right god and that those innocent children had no place in thier society.
what caused 1000's of jehovah witnesses in the late 70's to go mad..??
cause they were told that 1975 was the year the world was going to end..
(my mother actually ended up in a psychiatric ward so i know wot em talking about.)
why were the jew persecuted..??
because they were blamed for the death of jesus.
why were females who did things differently in the olden days burnt at the stake and labelled witches..?
because thier practises were not recognised in the bible.
why are palestines and israel killing eachother..??
occupation of the holy land.
