Two months down the track...

I find religion is a fascinating topic. Marx says : religion is the opium of the people. *smokes/sniffs/does whatever it takes to get it in my system*
Religion makes me believe and do wierd things~ woo, i'm on a high... lalala...
An interesting discussion that i was so fortunate to be a part of, addressed the question whether Politics should be separate from Religion. *this actually sparked from the US Bush*.
It continued on to cover religion with its compatibility to modernity, democracy especially. The case study of Iran popped up but after further discussion, the article used to support the case was dismissed as a minority report and thus the arguement came to a halt.
Why are all religions so gender bias and promote male dominance...
Oh mother earth, forgive us foolish humans with our false airs of arrogance our reverence of other humans... i shall always and only remain a humble servant to you~

Hey Mandy,

That's pretty deep from someone who wasn't interested in Comparative Social Change just a month ago.

I see at least someone is keeping thier blog up-to-date.

Catch you soon.

Love
Doris

i'm kind of confused by your last paragraph, maybe coz i'm not religious but anyway. i totally agree that religion should not be an entity with politics. it's just plain deceit if politicians use religion to get more votes by appealing to those devoted believers of religion.
