snorky Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I am not a huge fan of J. hari, in the Indie, he does bleat on a bit, but this morning comment was pretty interesting & somewehat relevant with the use of the Toleance world being bandied about INdie Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/4988-has-anyone-tried-the-alpha-course/page/12/#findComment-162502 Share on other sites More sharing options...
annaj Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Bizzy, really? I mean, honestly, you're serious?Based on a few posts of a couple of lines each and the fact that I don't share your faith, you're prepared to dismiss me entirely as closed minded?I'm speechless. Except to say, that, Alanis, is ironic!

Bizzy Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 So what, you can congratulate me for confirming your belief that there is no God? I just made a comment on your posts, you made a comment on decision in life!

Keef Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I think I may need to step back from this thread now... I will say though Bizzy, I am pleased you have your faith, and should anyone try to put you down for it, they are wrong.HOWEVER, a Christian who won't accept the possibility that it is all just a nonsense is every bit as bad as a patronising atheist who refuses to accept the possibility of anything outside of proven science!I prefer to accept that some things are proven fact (or at least far more proven than a bible story), yet I leave myself open to belief in a higher being. This doesn't make me perfect, but it makes me accepting of others, something that I think a lot of people on both sides of this thread are not.

annaj Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Right. First, I didn't say that I beleive there is no god. I said I no longer believe in the christian church. There is a difference.Second, I made no comment on your decision in life, I made a comment on the way you have chosen to express and defend your views and how off putting and alienating I found it. That is an opinion, not a judgement. As I said, you know nothing about me, or what I think or feel.Edited for typos Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/4988-has-anyone-tried-the-alpha-course/page/12/#findComment-162515 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzy Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Keef,I have tried to express the fact that people outside Christianity do have their own beliefs. I can see that you respect other people?s beliefs. There is a common notion for people to think that if someone talks about Christianity, they are preaching and nothing else.I know I'm *trying* to answer questions but why do people see my answers as a put down? Think of my posts as being someone of the Christian faith *trying* to explain why he believes.

Keef Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Fair enough Bizzy, but I still say that NO ONE has ever lived 950 years! :))Anyway, I'll let others join in this thread now, may come back later...

You can't disprove it Keef so it's a possibility. Even if we know it's impossible in the eyes and minds of some it may be true.Touche,However, millions and millions and muillions of people have lived to nowhere near that age, so whilst it could be possible, I think that stands as pretty good proof.

mockney piers Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 We can see that medical advances are pretty amazing, and within time an age of 950 years might be possible as we unlock the genetics of the ageing process.If we also posit that time travel maayyyyyy juuust be possible one day, then I guess it's possible that Noah, Moses, Methuselah and all the other long-lived people may have been visitors from the future.In fact God may be a super evolved being from the future (and he's trying to hide that from us, hence his objection to Evolution...why he didn't just crush Darwin at birth I don't know) who went back to a previous/parallel universe and destroyed it to give birtth to ours...oooh paradoxes galore.But go on, thery and disprove my theory, go on...you can't!!Excellent, perfect relativism, nothing can be absolutely true therefore nothing can be absolutely false.Except the 50 eggs thing.

Marmora Man Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 PR - damn! Meant to record this - did it / will it (if I can find it on On Demand TV) confirm my prejudices about the Alpha course that it's a load of old twaddle?PS: Did you see in today's Times that Richard Dawkins is subsidising atheist summer camps - most of my Scout camps were on the atheist side - when we weren't putting up tents and cooking dampers we were checking out the local pubs, scrumpy and girls at the chip shop.

PeckhamRose Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I pray this works....Ho ho hoIt's 4oD last night's programme Sunday 28th June about the Alpha Course.It was interesting, but more for the sort of people who went, rather than the predictable ones who ran it.I am not a NLP expert (tho I'd go on a course if there was one available), but was there any NLP in this programme?I am sure Mr Ronson would have spotted it.Anyway, er, 'enjoy'!Next week it's Muslims.
