I WISH to thank Mr F Isherwood of Blackrod, for echoing my views on religion to the letter.
I, too, am an atheist, and have read with interest over the last two months all the letters quoting various extracts from the Bible to support or condemn the events of September 11.
The only thing I can see is a terrible, tragic waste of life, including those of the suicide hijackers.
How can any religion so brainwash people that they are prepared to sacrifice their one and only life on a promise of eternal life?
For me, paradise is right here and now. I don't fancy the thought of spending eternity in the company of people I wouldn't choose to have a drink with in this life.
Leave Mr Isherwood and myself to enjoy what we have now, we've decided to chose LIFE.
