Organised Religion

Due to the ‘world youth day’ or whatever that idiotic institution is I have properly defined my issues with the large churches and organised religious institutions. The first item on my list and one that not many people have a perspective on is disability. My brother is partially disabled, being that one of his eyes doesn’t work properly thus leading to a poorer quality of life for him, the basic problem is with his retina, normally it would be untreatable and he would have to go through life with a diminished ability to perceive. With all these recent discoveries however, in the field of electronics, stem cell therapy and so forth he has a chance to see properly.

The Catholic church, one of the most influential and rich organisations in the world has deemed that stem cell research is against ‘god’ and thus preventing my brother and thousands of other around the world from leading lives that most of us take for granted. So apart from all the obvious bad stuff the church has done, by restricting the scientific development of the human race they have held back people from living better than they would normally.

To that I say Fuck The Church
