Love it. Brickbats are my friends. Yes, indeed.

That’s true. The flak comes from different quarters, same God, different sauce. I suppose I really meant that I’m surprised you would be worried about pissing people off. If you’re brought up in a culture of freedom of expression criticism from the flat earthers is really neither here nor there. Brickbats are your friends.

There is more than one religion, Jane, just as there are more places than just Yorkshire. The internet makes the world a space that is easier to fill, with both doubt and certainty, however misplaced both of these are. I promise to keep returning brickbats.

Questioning God in the US seems to be like admitting to necrophilia, but I see you’re a Yorkshire man. Has American influence made religion a taboo subject there now? I was brought up Irish Catholic in Yorkshire and it wasn’t fun but I had the impression the old Catholic/Protestant warfare was over. The whole religious thing is so divisive. Keep writing poems about it and if anyone chucks a brick chuck it back. Remember, they are WRONG 🙂

Well, thank God for that. Wait. No. I mean…
I was more than a little nervous about putting the poem up. In these times it’s hard to be open and frank without seeming rude and confrontational. I am so glad you got the aim of it so clearly. Thanks for your comments. Much appreciated. -
One day I’m going to sit down and dig though the history of the world to see if I can find a single war that wasn’t started by religion, fought over religion or had religion as a pretext somewhere along the line.
Unthinking, unquestioning belief in something that isn’t there used to be called madness.
