Things that we took for granted..

Is the Pope a Catholic

 

Some may argue that the Pope is Coptic Orthodox

 

Some could argue that the Pope is an irrelevance and the whole God industry is long overdue being exposed as fraudulent.

 

Aye, be much better off without all them church going folk. Especially the ones who run food banks. The bastards.

 

I think they could still do that without going to church, not sure like.

 

Aye. Might be the case the reason why they do it is because of their faith though and without it, they wouldn't bother. Who knows, all speculation. The reality is that lots of churches are involved in food banks.

It’s a strange thing church I have never believed in god once I could think for myself but the small village I lived in everything was done through the church and I was probably one of their hardest workers doing everything, I think it comes down to some people getting on with it and others trying to ram religion down your throat.

 

Up to you and anyone else what you believe in mate, that's sort of the point with that free will thing. I was just pointing out that churches run a lot of food banks.For some reason, you don't seem to like that. Or am I getting what you're saying wrong?

 

Yes you are getting it wrong mate I would be the first in our village to organise a food bank through the church or church hall all good people in our church but some have there darker side who look down on you.

 

Wouldn't disagree with that, plenty of wolves in sheep clothing kicking around. Handy for Christians that their source material gives a heads up about it imo.

 

Religion was invented when the first con man met the first idiot.

 

Then (I’m an atheist) why the hell have we had the best Easter weather that I can ever remember when we’re not allowed out. If there is a god (highly doubtful as there are thousands of documented gods on this earth), why would he let what is happening happen?

 

Absolutely with you there! My gigs have been such a massive part of my life. To not be out every weekend has been awful! (Although I’ve thoroughly enjoyed time with my lovely wife)

 

Surely you must know by now, God works in mysterious ways.

 

So I take it you think anyone who believes there is a God is an idiot.

 

Was she watching over your shoulder there?

 

That’s a harsh way to put it but people are taught to believe there is only one god as the other ones are not real.

 

The 2 biggest lies that the church pushes, the existence of God and God moves in mysterious ways.

 

Looks like I turned this thread on it's head!!!

I said to my boss a little while ago that there are distinct similarities between Star Wars books and the Bible - his response: "They're both complete works of fiction"

My in laws are Jehovah's Witnesses. My Father in law preached to my daughter about "Ours is the one true god" and I asked him not to as we don't believe in god. His response - "As long as you repent before you die you'll be ok"

If there was a God, how could the current situation wouldn't happen. My 14 year old cousin wouldn't have been killed in a hit & run by a stolen car back in the day (Her parents were big Christian believers before that - Atheists ever since!). What did Bradley Lowery or any other child dying of cancer do to deserve what happened/is happening to them? God is the most powerful apparently - yet the Devil (according to my in laws) can do these things - so surely the devil is more powerful!!

Jews, JW, Catholic, Orthodox Christian, CofE, Muslims, Buddhist - off the top of my head and there are loads more - apparently There are some 4,300 religions of the world! What makes your god the one true god?

 

Passed on what you wrote! he retorted he'll 'ave the pair of out the back 6 o'c the parking lot' ...
