Dan the future is unwritten .....my money is on a deathbed return to the good sheperds fold ... or maybe you relish the thought of going to law with the Devil and the Court in Hell !!Keep up, I am on the record in this thread as stating that both Christianity and Judaism have evolved and do allow 'progress' within themselves. Still irrational, and selling snake oil, but not weighed down with barbaric baggage from the past. (obviously excluding the Jewish demands for genital mutilation of babies and inhumane animal slaughter)
Religion is being shrugged off as its absurdity becomes obvious to more people, to paraphrase Holbach, ignorance of nature created religions understanding of nature destroys it. And that is accelerating, but only where religious dogma is not forced into children. But its adverse influence is still very much present and acting as a brake on many things that need changing; one of the worst here and now is its opposition to the right to die by assisted suicide.
I could very well end up as a bloke on a street corner yelling at embarrassed passers-by about political matters; but I'd never descend to the stupidity of superstitions and invisible friends - that would just be too embarrassing.
As I wrote above, the protections were always there in the Common Law, the HRA just made them more obvious and, for some anyway, more profitable...
