Thank t'lawd.

Give them two generations and they will be in the pub and eating bacon sandwiches with the rest of us. Religion, of any kind simply doesn't last the course. Factions and schisms develop, the message is watered down and pretty soon people start not bothering.

 

Give over you know full well you were in it.

 

That's true DA says we only have to wait 500 years for Islam to catch up with Christianity, won't be long now.

 

Ah, but it's such fun when you get the JWs or happy-clappies on the doorstep and dismantle their arguments one by one. Most of them belong to sects which only ever learn the tracts of scripture which support their particular sect's views and it often comes as a profound shock to discover the bits they didn't know about... That's before you even delve into the depths of the Apocrypha and the pre-Christian legends of Gilgamesh and Osiris. A particular favourite story to trash is the Nativity. I could chat for hours on that one, just to see the horror flicking across their previously happy little faces

 

"God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?" - Friedrich Nietzsche

 

I had a weird experience with some Jehovah's witnesses the other week,there was a knock on the door and I answered it.Outside stood 2 women holding a bunch of "watchtower" magazines,"good morning ladies" I said in a cheery voice, "oh" replied one,and with that they turned and disappeared out of the gate!
It reminded me of the old joke,Q,how do you confuse a JW? A,answer the door.
I don't have a particular religious viewpoint,I was brought up C of E, but I'm fine with whatever your beliefs are,just don't try and force them on others.

 

Might have guessed this would turn into a religion bashing thread.
Have a look at what atheism has caused in the world. Death and destruction.

 

That's the problem with a lot of you english. You have no moral compass anymore.
Football and b&q are your idols.

 

I remember being at a C of E in somerset once. It was basically a sight seeing spectacle.

The drunks on the benches outside and urine over the pavements made it an even bigger spectacle.

 

Same as Phil I don't mind what religion someone is as long as they keep it to themselves and don't try and force it on to others, sadly that doesn't happen.
I did once know a girl with a burning bush but I never went there.

 

Just as well,you could have ended up with a burning rash.lol

 

Must be the stoopidest think I've ever read on an internet forum.

 

Absolutely not true.

 

Ah well,that let's me out then,I'm Welsh by descent,it was all coal mining and choirs in the valleys boyo!


There's lovely isnt it,nothing like a bit of good Welsh singing to stir the blood.
