Bruce made me rethink my view on worship.
I realised that my problem was only with organised religion, not with people.

But my word I hear much more of hate than love from all the children of the book.
Not individual people.
Well.
Rarely.

Would I connect Rich Levy with Mossad?
My parents with the IRA?
Sameena on the Welcome Desk with Al Quaida?

So maybe it's the media. Dividing us makes better newsprint.
Until.
Until.
On a forum that welcomes everyone we find people who hate.
Or who hide behind religion to hate.
Or who use other people's religion to judge.
And that really does reflect the world so who am I to be all Pollyanna.

So much good is done in the name of Allah, Jehovah, God.
I have met some devout people that make even me, an committed atheist, want to ask for a blessing.
Not everyone is out for what they can get.
