And God shall Smite me

I don’t really know whether to laugh or cry when I read fanatical religious beliefs. Some of the stuff that I’ve read on Warwick Blogs over the last week or so has been every bit as terrifying as the kinds of things that are reported as coming from the Islamic terrorists around the world.
The first time I read these kinds of blog entries I thought that the author was just trolling but then the awful truth strikes: there really are people who believe that: homosexuality is sin. Abortion is murder. Euthenasia is culling. But the real worry is that they believe these things not because they have come to this decision themselves, but because their church has told them what to believe. That’s the really frightening thing.
It must be nice to have a religion. To not need to make one’s own moral and ethical decisions, because God has made them for you. And of course, the church (of whichever religion you subscribe to) has interpreted God’s intent for you.
