Irish citizens are abandoning religion faster than residents of every country in the world except Communist Vietnam, a new study reveals. Since 2005, the percentage of people in Ireland who describe themselves as ‘a religious person’ has declined from 69% to 47%. Some have suggested that the study, conducted by a global network of WIN-Gallup International pollsters, could reflect attitudes changed by the numerous sex-abuse scandals rocking established religion in the predominately Roman Catholic country.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
