I wish to draw attention to the article ‘‘Church or footy this season’’ (Leader, March 22).
Where have the people asks Reverend George Capsis.
Well George, the people have woken up to reality. Organised religious doctrine is completely irrelevant in today’s society.
People aren’t at the football, they choose not to believe.
My son is in year 4 at a local public school where of the 60 students in his year, nine attend religious education.
Over the next two generations in Australia Christianity will become obsolete.
The article also mentions the Royal Commission into the Catholic Church which has revealed multiple cases of rampant sexual and physical abuse by the trusted clergy.
Although this is abhorrent it bears in insignificance to the psychological trauma inflicted on our innocent youth over the decades.
Religion is a business that pays no tax and is a scourge on our modern society. That’s why nobody is going Reverend Capsis.
