On the subject of religion...
A friend of mine (Danny Gillen) went on a radio show about a week ago, and they were debating Religion.
One of the things he said:
"Religion is the absence of reason, the sleep of logic".
I think you can guess his stance right there.
He's a socialist, hates religion.
I've only listened to part of it so far, but it's supposed to be fairly good.
I'm just uploading it to a host at the mo, so I'll link to it in a bit.
