If the preachers put their energy into something useful, like teaching people basic science, then we wouldn't have this problem.

I feel for those who come from this type of background you described, Starbuzzz, I'm lucky that I come from the third generation, so to speak, in my family because the roots of my family on my father's side are strong Irish Catholics, and due to my grandmother marrying a protestant, we have somewhat been singled out from the family, and I attended a non-denominational school and therefore only had the odd hymn here and there once a week, and it wasn't really rammed down my throat.

My mother was a strong catholic through her childhood due to her parents but by the age of eighteen, with her father dying and then the church refusing to "help" due to the fact she had sinned, kind of put her off and she took a step in the right direction, in my opinion at least.

At the end of the day, religion is sheer hypocracy, sugar-coated to look pretty and is layed upon the weak or narrow minded to continue their regime.

Well this topic is still going on. I have to say I haven't watched much Anime recently (maybe a year or so) the last thing I saw was GITS (for the third time)

Im not too sure whether I just dont enjoy Anime anymore or whether its just I dont have time really to shit and watch it.
