    It's nicer to believe that we,'re children of God, rather than the descendants of apes. Tho there's a few on here that I believe might be

    I'd very much respect peoples religious beliefs but realistically we're educated now to explain evolution. I have good friends that were devastated by what the priests and nuns did yet their devotion is to be admired and whatever gets you through is good by me

    Please don't be conflating those crimes with the faith of 99% who did not commit them
    It's a poor excuse to use to disbelieve that something greater than us is out there
    Find a real excuse or at least a valid one,there are plenty, vacuous and all as I as a believer may think it is

    He didn't but he should have. The 99% that still support a church that has defended and hidden the rapist of children need to have a good look at themselves.

    I dont and I don't think anyone does know of anyone that defends that
    If anything theres a great anger and disappointment
    But it's not a reason to be an atheist
    I'm forever arguing anyway that religions were created by men not God
    They are just simply worshiping associations
    Like all human associations, they're subject to human failings,in this case crimes
    Conflating that with God,plus not understanding the fundamental belief that humans have free will regardless of who they are to commit evil if they are evil and using that as an excuse to ignore a mystery with all its implications for convenience is just folly in my opinion
    Better to deny mystery out of your own disbelief in my opinion
    What created us is a mystery to me that should be respected too,because frankly science hasn't even reached the tiniest of the tiniest of percentile of understanding the universe regardless of the wonderment of what we do know

    Look we're dragging this off topic but I had to correct you.
    It's not why I don't believe, I've never believed
    Always seemed to me like believing in santa claus/fairies.
    That's the way it is.

    I believe that religion was invented by mankind as a way of trying to put some meaning on life when there never was any meaning in life in the first place.
    There just is ...

    It also gives people something to occupy their time with and feel better about themselves and not be afraid of death.

    There was a fierce heavy downpour this evening. Land is getting a bit squishy.

    Grass taking off here, missed my chance at second cut last week, have a few strong paddocks to bale as well. Second cut bulking away mad, pit won't take it all. Wet weather has just come at the wrong time for me here anyway. May have to do a smash and grab with paddocks anyway.

    Must be serious drought there. Need it like a hole in the head west of the Shannon. Callow fields flooded here. Over 3 inches in the past week, very large amount in such a short spell.

    Rivers running down the roads, if we spread fertilisers yesterday it would be in limerick today, that said most of the ground is taking it well.
