It's in news and current affairs, I think the idiot is the one who chose not to put it on the religious section. ðŸ¤

Why are you insisting on wrecking this thread ? For cod's hake why bring politics into it? If you want to discuss politics and religion at the same time do it in a Facebook groupthink box. Please. This thread is strictly about religion. No politics. Thanks. I'm not trying to wreck your thread. But religion is a form of politics. IMHO.

Rumours are suggesting a knighthood for Nigel Farage. An honest politician being rewarded. Unprecedented times...

Any discussion always comes back to the same place - it exists to control the populace for dubious ends, which is also a fair descriptor for politics. I bet vicars have expense accounts too. I think I'll convert to Catholicism and repent on my death-bed. Just in case.

Religion is okay but it's scary when children are brainwashed.
I don't impose my own warped thinking on my kids. It's important to allow them to develop their own personalities.
You also have to do a little bit of reasonable religious education so I have told them very clearly that religious people are worthless and it's not even worth pissing on them if they are on fire.
I didn't want to overdo it. Moderation and a neutral stance are key.

Those beliefs can't be very well founded if they get fazed by a bunch of idiots taking the piss. If you are a true believer then nothing like that would have any effect. To allow it to upset you is exposing the weakness and uncertainty of your belief system. Why would it matter ? Go spend some time with your kids. Go and start your own forum.

perhaps anything which makes ridicule of the ancient beliefs, that were invented by people who knew no better because they didn't have benefit of scientific knowledge, is a good thing. I'm currently reading an essay called Labrynth by Philip Appleman - it it the best argument I have ever read for abolishing belief systems. He is highly critical of the concept of 'divine right' which he describes as an arrogant assumption of the advanced animal called homo sapiens. He rightly claims that, for a believer, all forms of immorality from the Holocaust to rape and murder, can be forgiven by god, whilst an atheist has no such refuge. to quote "religion stalks across the face of human history, knee-deep in the blood of innocents, clasping its red hands in hymns of praise to an approving god". " Montrose drew up his troops in a line only three deep, outflanking Elcho's front, though it seems likely the Royalist centre was kept a more conventional six lines deep. Again according to the traditional historiography of the battle, the battle cry of Elcho's force was said to have been "Jesus and no quarter!" Montrose's Irish troops were said to have been reduced to a single round of ammunition each, and Montrose is supposed to have delivered a speech saying: "Gentlemen: it is true you have no arms; your enemy, however, to all appearance, have plenty. My advice to you therefore is that as there happens to be a great abundance of stones upon this moor, every man should provide himself, in the first place, with as stout a one as he can manage, rush up to the first Covenanter he meets, beat out his brains, take his sword, and then I believe he will be at no loss how to proceed!" " en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Tippermuir(the Covenanter priests were particularly fond of slaughter, killing those who had been maimed lying on the ground and asking for help. Such is 'Christianity'.)
