I personally love all the Pagan festivals celebrated in the UK like the one to celebrate Spring and the other one to celebrate the bleak mid-Winter. Though I don't like the one that's coming up at the end of the month....

Samhain ?

I don't have an ounce of religious sentiment, but I dropped off some food this morning at school for Harvest Festival. I don't see anyone organising this in the town, and if they are inspired to do so because they believe that 2,000 + years of teaching and thought has a supernatural significance, then so be it - I'm glad someone's doing it. Better than being a miserable bugger who never does any good in his life.

nice to see nutty christians are back.

Being nailed up for a week made me very cross.

Exorcist 2 was crap though.

Terrible, Exorcist 3 is pretty decent though and nurse station scene is easily the scariest bit in a movie. Ever.

Luckily they only tied her up instead of using nails like they do in the Philippines

Every society believes in morality, that is at least as man-made as religion.

Every society believes in morality because there is clear evidence of it. People usually (not always) believe in their local religion (or at least a watered down version of it) because they had it forced on them when they were children.

So every society believes in nonsense, or in many cases noncesense

Since the facts show this is 100% verifiably nonsense, I nominate you for this week's village idiot award.

Didn't take long for the knee jerk irrational religion response.

FTFY

[NotAllThere]

Lets face it religion has no place in a modern society

Didn't take long for the knee jerk irrational anti-religion response.

The exorcist was a great film.

Exorcist 2 was crap though.

Perhaps the fact that there is no society in the world where religion does not play a part?

There is not a country in world where murder does not play a part but I am not sure we really want to encourage it.
