What is hacking you off today?

Religion, most of them are very similar, is fine, full of good ideas for society.
The problem is religious nut jobs and intolerance.

The problem is it's all man made. Most promise an after life if you follow them. Some even give special allowances for men over women, and further allowances, many wives etc. Some makes those at the top very rich through a percentage of wages each month in their work life, going to the religion.

Religion.

The route of all the worlds problems usually pin point back to religion.. or as I like to call it, a whole lot of rubbish.

Holidaymakers booking twice to hedge against Covid rules

UK holidaymakers are reportedly double-booking breaks this summer to make sure they don't miss out.

Way to trash the tourism and hospitality industry with your selfish entitlement.

I disagree. I think nutjobs will always find something to fight about. If religion didn't exist it would be something else.

It isn't religion or nations that cause problems, it's idiots.

Absolutely this.

I get that. There are plenty of idiots as you say who both believe in a religion and don’t. Unfortunately it’s always those extreme idiots who take it to far.

Agreed. It's not their religion that's at fault, it's them.

The fighting/conflict we see is about oppression and power. Oppressing minorities, others, women etc.

Religion is a convenient excuse to some, but many religions are built around a power-system and structure that facilitates oppression. Even 'peaceful' religions are often oppressive to women and minorities and reinforce inequity.

So it's not as simple as to say 'all conflicts come from religion' or 'if religion didn't exist people would still fight'.

We as a human race really have done a great job in ****ing things up.

I'd become a dog if I didn't have to lick my own arse. I'm not going there again.

In my opinion it is. If there was no religion people would find something else to argue/fight about, like football, for example. I don't know of one religion that preaches violence, but idiots still consider it necessary to fight in the name of it, and I believe those people would just be passionate/violent about something else.

Sexism etc. within a religion is, to me, a different issue. But, again, no religion I know of preaches violence towards either sex.

Religion is control.

Yes it's getting worse. Sometimes you click a story and an add pops up where you click. It's infested with adds, and the story comments are infested with trolls.

Bought some avocados for lunch and apparently 'ripe and ready to eat' actually means mushy on the outside, rock hard and crunchy in the middle.

Maybe it's my fault for being such a ponce.

Seeing kids paying 10 quid or more to private firms try to get a driving test .. surely the government booking system should have a cancellation waiting list that is free. They pay enough for lessons insurance and the poxy test as it is ...
