When I heard the Julia Lovemore story (indeed whenever I hear a story about adults committing violence against children) on the radio my first thought was that there would probably be religion involved. I used to chide myself for being prejudiced whenever I thought like this but having now established a one hundred percent track record of being dead right about dozens of these kinds of stories, I don’t.

I recall that a couple of years ago some religious commentator, it may have been on the infamous ‘Though for the Day’, suggested that atheists were more likely to abuse children. The outrage at this complete reversal of the truth well and truly put this guy right, though I doubt very much that he learned anything from the experience.

There are varying degrees of religious mental illness: some of the less afflicted have the intelligence to “cure” themselves, while others living in their fantasy world of religion, sink deeper into depravity.

It takes faith to have no faith.

At least the judge is moving in the right direction refering to “religious delusions.” Religion is usually exempted from “delusions” although I don’t know of much that is more deluded than those who think that they are eating flesh when it is a wafer and drinking real blood when it is wine. And yet they perform these delusions in public and are venerated when they do so.

For once, I agree with the muslims. Converting to christianity is a sign of mental illness.

“Somalis believe the Koran cures the “sick”

Ha ha what a fucking joke. The Koran encourages the sick minded to behead infidels, mutiate their childrens genitles and blow up the Kuffar
