Shane's personal statement:

I was brought up a non-practicing Anglican. My very troubled childhood militated against my believing there was any god out there looking out for me. This coloured my religious judgment as a child and has remained with me ever since. For, while I would love to believe there is ONE God who loves mankind, I see such universal suffering around the world affecting more than 90% of humankind - so where is the hand of God? And how can there be different Gods – those that look after Christians only and those that look after Muslims and all the other religions? I have never liked dogma, religious works such as the Bible and the Koran, and those that dress in fancy clothes and call themselves priests, bishops and those chosen by their specific Gods. I believe in the spirituality of goodness, kindness and love. The present Pope Francis espouses such beliefs and I would gladly follow his beliefs.
