Indeed.

I'd also suggest that Catholics and Protestants have probably caused more deaths and injuries through terrorist acts in the past 100 years than any by Islamic Fundamentalists.  both are clearly equally as bad as each other.

Go further back in our own history and both perspectives of the Christian religion have caused untold amounts of pain and misery, even limited to jut these shores.

Religion's are all pretty despicable.

I think there are genuine problems in organised religion but I'm not sure that stereotypes are helpful.  Joseph Stalin who avowedly sought to commit religion to history was not exactly averse to a little gentle co-ercion

I'd imagine the Catholic church and church of England are the two biggest paedophile rings in the UK.
They certainly have serious issues that I do not mean to diminish but let's not beat about the bush, parents are the biggest perpetrators of child abuse.  Not surprising if you think about it but in my view that is also a bigger betrayal than abuse by the local priest or scoutmaster or other stereotype.

One fact that is clear across the board: perpetrators of child abuse and neglect are most often the child's own parents. According to NCANDS, a 2005 study showed that 79.4% of child abusers were the parents, and the next largest pool of abusers consisted of unmarried partners of the parents of child victims. A whopping 40% of child victims were abused by their mothers acting alone, and a disturbing 17.3% were abused by both parents

poor, poor kids

Alright then, Religion and group ideologies.

I am probably not the best person to have this debate, I actually couldn't give much of a toss about National borders.

Yeh, group ideology, whether religious, political or other, probably does cover it.

If there was/is a Cunt God, what would be the physical representation of said being? Maybe it is one living amongst us today? I feel a TEFist poll coming on.

Just to nudge God aside for a moment - our mutual ‘friend’ Trump has expelled 60 Russian diplomats, followed by various EU countries also expelling diplomats.

There you go, Putin. Take that!

Just to put my two penneth in the religious spat. I can fully understand, and appreciate, any religion which is based purely on faith. What I can’t abide is those Creationists who insist the Earth is only 3000 years old despite the overwhelming physical evidence that that view is total bollocks.

Adam and Eve, me hairy arse.

You'd like Ken Ham. A hardcore YEC that insists that dinosaurs were on the ark and used to live alongside people. He even reckons that the Roman gladiators used to fight against dinosaurs in the arenas. He comes out with all sorts of bizarre shit.
