My Grandmother used to make me go to church dressed in best clothes. I am almost certain the church was of the Protestant denomination, Church of England?
The only thing more boring I have experienced in my life was attending a piano recital at the Sydney Opera House whilst on a school trip in 1975. (I fell asleep during the performance)
What did I get out of going to church? Reinforcement that religion was super boring.
If I remember correctly…“for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son so that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.”
I’m a doubting Thomas Bret, but I can see how in the past religions of all denominations have held communities together, upheld family values, and taught us the difference between right and wrong…Now most people in the UK have abandoned religion and we have people who don’t know who, or what they are anymore, and have forgotten the reason why they exist. We are in a moral wasteland where everything is acceptable.

Religion is a dark relic of our past - a control mechanism used by the greedy to screw every last drop of blood and resources out of people and the planet 
I’ve gone off Stephen Fry as he’s been disgustingly quiet about the genocide, but this is a good clip where he expresses things very eloquently…
One just has to hope one has done more of the right stuff than the wrong stuff throughout this journey, if peace is at the end of it.
I’m agnostic, with all the religions in the world, who am I to say, what I believe is the only true belief? One thing I firmly believe in is , humans are not the most advanced life form. with all the different religions in the world, my knowledge is equal to a grain of sand. I can not say with any certainty if their is or is not a god.
