[Margaret Pilkington]

Well, whatever was done in the past is done. We have to try and live with the consequences......what we should be doing is making sure that we don't leave a similar mess for our children and our childrens children to sort out.

I think it is very difficult at the time to know if what you are doing is the right thing.....and our forbears did what I suppose they thought was right at the time.

Many atrocities are carried out in the name of religion.....and we don't have to look very far to see the results of some of them......but it is really fanaticism in religion that is the problem....moderates rarely would kill anyone. It has been happening since the dawn of time......The Crusades spring to mind.
