That's because to my knowledge we have an innate need to worship...it's built into us like reproduction is.

You tell me the difference between a hardcore footy fan lauded by thousands for being a great fan, the best, the most commited and someone who follows an organised faith?

There is a place of worship...the temple or a stadium

There is a dress code...whatever organised religion attire or a football kit, football garments in certain colours

Religions have songs, prayers...footy fans display their loyalty with songs anti other teams or pro their own

Religions have a focal point...footy fans worship the players.

Religious extremists are violent...footy fans and footy history is riddled with violence driven by the love for their own 'club' call it their 'god'

It's inbuilt...there is an innate need to worship in order for a human to feel fulfilled...if they don't find God for whatever reason, they will find something else sooner or later and that is defined by how they see and treat that something.

The rocks and moss are my church bro

We've all got a reverence for something deeper than ourselves

We're more than the sum of our parts, and we know it.

If we were just a skeleton wrapped in meat, we would just exist, but we don't we strive and we flourish.

Yeah I do both, but I have a separate churning machine for the vegan stuff. (I've actually been fixing that today)

I get it that if you're vegan, you don't want any contamination with animal products.

But not spending £1 of any of your money on non vegan stuff I would imagine to be almost impossible, unless you want take all of your money out of the bank, and never use supermarkets etc ever again. Even down to your phone and internet provider, I would imagine that companies like Sky, EE, Vodaphone etc invest into companies that aren't exclusively vegan and their employees aren't 100% vegan either, so it's just a dead end stance to take.

I get what you are saying mate, but I come back to the vegan perspective again of preventing cross contamination.

Trust me mate, I've seen it done, different food item and to non meat eating Hindu's <laugh>

Got to say Piskie, if you are a meat eater, they are not going to trust you and clearly didn't.....soz...just joking bro.

I get the cross contamination thing. My workspace is regularly inspected by the EHO, so I can demonstrate how I operate to the public.

But the other issue about the money being spent on non vegan things, is just a ridiculous self defeating isolationist stance to take.

I think they just wanted any excuse not to have a carnivore in their ranks. You're like the devil to them bro.

What the **** is he saying?
Seriously the first 10 seconds of that arent in English are they?
Is that Welsh?
Also who the **** is Patrick Dorgu?
UPDATE: Had to google it, he is from Lecce in Serie A, who are about to be relegated as they sit in 18th with the worst goal difference in the league and 40 goals conceded in 22 games! Not quite sure I understand his excitement, but hey.......

Yeah, a left wing back who currently plays in Serie A for Lecce, who replaces Luke Shaw essentially.

Never heard of him? Is that supposed to define his quality? I'd never heard of Patrice Evra either.

I had the same thought about Evra and Vidic, when they arrived i thought who the **** arew they and why..
Didn't take long to find out.
certain players were born for our club and will have the club in their hearts for the rest of their lives, Herrera was another who would have died for us.
****ing sickening to see the way Rashford (a supposed life long supporter) is acting now and it needs sorting fast even if we have to give him away for free.

Religions require a 'deity' - don't know of any that don't have one ... but other than that, you are quite correct.

I'm not religious, but I wouldn't dismiss anybody's beliefs either; partly because that would be disrespectful - but also a theory that the earth and it's lifeforms were born out of random particles colliding in space seems no more less likely (to me) than there being a 'creator' ... so I'm open minded - there are things beyond my comprehension - things I can't explain - but one thing that resonates is that, throughout our world, throughout known history - indigenous peoples all seem to have a 'creation myth' - stories and legends that existed for thousands of years before Christianity or Islam in places where people had never encountered each other.

If I'm honest i don't believe in religion because i cant see why an all loving and all seeing god would see so much suffering in the world including death to innocents.

However im sort of envious of people who are religious. You have something to believe in, a faith for the good and something to drive you. If it makes you a better person and good im all for it. You do you
