I do think that people should be allowed to believe what they want to believe since I think that is a birth right. I do agree with Elton John's statement about a lot of religion opposing homosexual relationships, hence why I think it has been viewed as a social-sin. A taboo that the "good" people would never dip into. I don't think that organized religion has a place in society today, but people are so in love with the idea of comradery it offers, I doubt it will be anytime soon that organized religion is lost, sadly. However, I don't think that a lot of Socialists are much into organized religion since it very much distracts the problems that we face outside of our spirituality. I do think that religion is a huge reason for a lot of the wars and the clashing amongst humans and it would be better, possibly, if it could be irraticated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
