Please note that I am not an atheist but a dissident baptised RC on his way to clear agnosticism. I am not against any religion - Christian or others - but have pity for those that humanise God and think that they can interpret the inscrutable in human terms. Most religious people - I mean those that have reached priest level (or rabin or pastor or buddhist monk or whatever) - are convinced about their faith and live according to its laws and principles. But, as priesthood is another human venture (God/Allah/Buddah &c inspired if you wish), its results can be measured by a Gauss curve. The problem that have those who act within the more prestigious sects is that they become 'too public' and every time they sneeze the noise is distinctly heard across the city and, in these mediatic days, across the world.
