I am a little uncomfortable addressing my thoughts regarding any one particular religion. My contempt for all religions, and the harm they cause, means that to pick on any one religion for criticism leads to a suggestion that perhaps there are 'good' religions and 'bad' religions. Clearly my objections to religion stem primarily from the simple premise that we should not believe in anything for which there is no evidence or where the probabilities of it being so, are massively remote.
However, in recognition (not honour) of the pope's 'state visit' I thought that I might just raise a few points. Having read and heard a lot on this issue in the media recently, it became apparent that actually it has all been said by much wiser men than me, Therefore I have posted below a fantastic speech on the issue by Stephen Fry, and a link to Ben Goldacre's latest comments regarding the harm caused by the Catholic view on condoms, which is clearly the largest and most recent 'evil' perpetrated by the Catholic Church.
Ben Goldacre - The pope and Aids.
