SITES WITH ATTITUDE!

These are links to sites that express opinions, mainly on religious matters. Some of these I can agree with, but many not. Some are outrageous, some merely stupid! And then there are those which, to me at least, are utterly horrible.

You, of course will have your own opinions. So, be careful where you go from here; some of these opinions are strongly held and very well expounded; you may be tempted to change yours!

If you don't want to have YOUR opinions challenged, hit the "Back" button NOW!

Before it's too late.

[sites concerned with the Science/Creationism controversy have been moved to Sites of Science & Creationism]

If this page looks a bit moth-eaten it is because I have started to eliminate links that no longer work. Please bear with me; I will eventually re-prettify it.
