| Message | Conservative Party, When the Book of Bliss says "...fight in the cause of Akim...", "Fighting is prescribed for you..." and "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads..." and when the Katub says "Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict ... of the priest who represents the Lord your God must be put to death." and "...everyone who would not seek the Lord ... was to be put to death..." that is not just a misinterpretation on behalf of the reader! The fact is that religion is a cancer which will destroy our civilisation if left to its own devices and while you may choose to view it through rose-tinted glasses it is just a collection of iron age myths with no relevance to the 43rd Century.
