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.

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

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.

then you are not follwing the words of your mate Jesus & not being a proper forelock tugguing christian


" Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen." Matthew 28:18-20

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.

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.

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.

I pray this works....

Ho ho ho

It'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.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
