  Such is the anomaly and paradox of religion, that, not only do different faiths set about killing each other and destroying their property.   But different versions of the same faith or religion will attack each other in order to try to enforce conformity with what they see as the 'orthodox' or 'true version' or their religion.  And what does God supposedly think of this irrational and unGodly behaviour?  Only God knows, because, despite those who say they speak for God, nobody knows the truth, because God does not, and has never been known to converse with humans.  Though humans, in their moment of contemplation, and their imaginings, do make fallacious claims that God has spoken to them. But, of course, God does not know what to make of humans insistence on forcing, to compelling and to socialising people into practising this or that faith.   As, irrespective of what those who say they are 'believers' believe and try to force others into believing, the exist

And to Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas and Team Mercedes, for making it to P.2 and P.3. Having prepared the ground for the easing of tensions between Teams Mercedes and Red Bull during the practice and Qualifying sessions of much anticipated Dutch Grand Prix.   It was truly satisfying and enjoyable to observed Max and Lewis and Bottas fist-bumping, hand shaking, hugging and champagning one another during the post race rituals.  Yes, it is likely that this display of comradeship and sportsmanship is still only another stage of a still on-going process, rather than the completion of the process.  But nevertheless, it is a most welcoming sight to observe arch-rivals Max and Ham hugging each other, even if, in doing so, they stand a better chance of  concealing the knives of rivalry which drives both of them on the racin
