What is wrong with these people?

What century do they think we are living in?
The Catholic Church is thankfully a minority group in the UK.
The Church and state are supossed to be separate.
Who do they think they are to try and force their beliefs on society?
Do they what to start persecuting scientists again like they did with Galileo?
These people drive me mad!
Trying to hold back research that might save lives.
One area of science where Britain excels is genetics, but these nutters what to stop that.

Politics and religion.....the source of most conflict

I would reduce that just down to religion. Too much of a problem, shame you can't ban it. Amazes me that after thousands of years of evolution people are so easily swayed to some almighty god/deity, in a time where science is all around us its even more amazing. It p***es me off even more when religion is used as an excuse to commit mass murder, "I didn't do it, god told me to, its in this book you see... got to do every thing by this book or we are bad bad people"

If people wish to preach or believe in religion then fine, thats up to them. When its used as an excuse to commit inexcusable offenses, ridiculous.

God might expand on the seven deadly sins to bring it up to modern times. These guys have a private line to the main man.

In the 21st century, he said, "You offend God not only by stealing, blaspheming or coveting your neighbor's wife, but also by ruining the environment, carrying out morally debatable scientific experiments, or allowing genetic manipulations which alter DNA or compromise embryos."

I often feel that the world would be better if all organized religion were to be banned and everyone concentrated on their personal spiritual relationships as they felt appropriate.
