    You’re fucking kidding me, right? Are we living in the dark ages? ‘Sittings in both Houses begin with prayers.’ http://www.parliament.uk/about/how/business/prayers/ …

        @aral While I don't think religion should be forced on anyone, you should also respect the beliefs of others. It's not childish to believe.

        @creationix @aral Tim, you should respect a person, you do not have to respect his / her beliefs at all. Big difference.

        @lukemiler respecting a person's beliefs doesn't mean agreeing with them. It's wrong to belittle those you disagree with. @aral

        @lukemiler If you're claiming that all religion is delusional and against reason and evidence then you don't understand it.

        @aral how well do you think a petition to end prayer in Sittings would go?
