By Irfan Yusuf, published 8/6/2007Ordinary Catholics have as little say in Cardinal Pell’s appointment or dismissal as ordinary Muslims do in Sheikh Hilali’s.

For example: Why is it that the Catholic Church continues to observe Sunday as it's sabbath? You won't find anywhere in the Bible, either in the new or old testament whereby God or his son gave permission to change the holy day. In fact, moving the sabbath isn't mentioned at all. Most other Christian religions, being a spin-off of the Catholic faith, follow along blindly and without question.
Same with the 25th of December! Show me in the Bible where it says we much observe "Christmas" day? Right! You can't!
Religion was invented to explain the unexplainable in times long gone. It's also been a convenient way of keeping rabble in their place. From history, I do happen to believe that a person called Jesus walked the Earth, but I don't happen to believe he was the son of God. In fact, I don't believe in fairy tale creations that fly around the sky seeking retribution or giving reward for deeds done on this Earth. Mankind has 'over-thought' himself on this issue and brought desolation and destruction on countless millions over the decades as a result.
Anyway! How come all religions state THEY'RE the only true religion? Someone must have it badly wrong. Jesus was a very wise man and if all religions followed his ideals and principles, what a beautiful world we'd have to live in.
