Does the left want to get rid of religion altogether ?

@revenant Nah. Maybe they go to wind turbine heaven?

@Entwistle
It's amazing what a simple search on Google will come up with !

@SapphicHeart Indeed.

@SapphicHeart I think both of you view the world under a completely different lens and I understand Joe's point of view.

@hippyjoe1955
Go read the reply, that you ignored, made to you on secularism made by @ArishMell. It will be all I have to add.

@SapphicHeart Your actions don't mesh with your statements. Which am I to believe.

@Rhodesianman Says you. BTW Bane is spelled B A N E not Bain.

@Rhodesianman but it is your right to make people think and behave as you say ?

@revenant Its no ones right to tell others how to live , this is why we need rid of religion as religion does exactly that .

@MarkPaul i feel a new reality show coming!

@hippyjoe1955 Oh. You mean the same Catholic church that was silent throughout the Holocaust. The same church that made a treaty with the Nazis. That Roman Catholic church?

@RandomForest You really need to learn some history. Too Funny! Run along son you have some reading to do. I am not going to discuss facts with someone as ignorant of them as you.

I guess the foolishness of Christians goes in cycles.

[quote]Church leaders and clergy held a range of opinions about National Socialism. Some Catholic leaders welcomed Hitler’s call to “overcome the un-Germanic spirit” and feared that “atheistic communism” was more of a threat to the Catholic Church than the Nazis were.

@JBird Shhhh!!! We said at the last meeting we weren’t going to announce that anymore!!! 😝

@ravenwind43 deep !

@ArishMell those days, they all seem hard core very left

@revenant Well, that would define Communist ideology almost by its own admission; but in a democracy "Right" and "Left" have so many shades and nuances that they become meaningful in any one country only by reference to its own society and politics.

In my own country, the UK, strongly-Christian sects like Methodism were especially popular in the 19C and 20C among those equally fiercely loyal to the trades-unions and the Labour Party - organisations some other countries apparently consider dangerously close to the determinedly-atheist USSR!

@revenant So the left would have us to believe.

@hippyjoe1955 yes of course. Be reasonable child ⚒️

@SW-User my take was/is : use islam followers as oppressed people, make them join our cause and we will get rid of them later on anyway

@SW-User I am thinking long term. Here we think short terms but in Asia they think generations ahead

@Pianist12 indeed it was my name on EP..but who are you my sir ? I think I know but I am not sure
