Religião é Veneno

Mankind has always wanted something nearer to his heart. Something or someone he can identify with and approach. As God's go-betweens, the Saints are reassuringly human, full of flaws and foibles.

There is a Saint for every location and occasion. You can have your own patron saint. Saints have Holy Wells and work miracles as they become - to the untrained eye - demi-deities in their own right. It's the Saints, Angels and Holy Artefacts that drew pagans to Christianity.

We sometimes receive quite angry emails telling us that the One True God is the only deity worth featuring. How dare you mention other Gods? they ask. We usually reply by asking what all the billions of people who've worshipped these deities over the past few thousand years would say to this.

We don't pretend to be experts on all religions, but we can certainly point you to quite a few places in the Holy Bible where other Gods are mentioned by name. Why else would the Lord say "Thou shalt have no other Gods but me?"
