O/T: and so it goes on, can we please stop bashing religion?

[Tel (they/them)]

What are we on about here Terry? Scientific explanations for biblical peculiar happenings?

I was thinking I'd just write a load of old bollocks actually, it seems to work for the majority of the world. My messiah's called Roy, he comes from Salford and is the saviour of all mankind, he can turn puddle water into Strongbow and promises us all a key to a bedsit that we can use when it's raining, when we're dead obviously. No mention of virgins but he said we can have a go on nasty Brenda if you treat her to a McDonald's milkshake.

Canny start that.

What about creation and the end of the world. Not a proper religion without them.

Entertaining as long as it doesn`t get too serious. I clear off when that happens, can`t be bothered with it.

It`s worth remembering though Smug, in a religion not far from here, our heads would have been off long before now.

You don't mean those marauding Newcastle supporters again do you .......... I hear they sacrifice horses or summat!

This thread will end up longer than the bible

These 'religious' threads are always the same, people debate for days, put forward their arguments and no one changes their mind a fraction.

Usually funny though

I hope so!

I read some of the bible for a laugh in a hotel once, there's some funny stuff in it actually, if it was up to me I'd put it in 'comedy fiction' in Waterstones.

Jesus Christ man..What's gannin on here...

Ah, the followers of the god Gregg.

You`re asking to get blasted you are.

I'm gonna go with the theory of the slag from another planet, for creation. still working on what happens in the event of an apocalypse!

Don't use his name in vain, that's just plain wrong RAW. Show some respect!

Not exactly sure mate tbh.

We seem to have gone through religions and back to the OP to the point where we`re making our own new one.

I think.

Slag as in a lady of negotiable affection or of the waste rock and metal variety?

Ironic humour at it's best

To save you ploughing, up to your knees, through all this ****e, I'll summarise.

OP asked people not to bash religion but seems to actually mean the one religion they have an interest in.

Then everyone bashed that religion and others to the point of ridicule.

This is what happens when you try to control what people think and say.

Terry was voted 'Most likely to be struck down'.

Excellent summary.

Up to now we seem to have an alien female (of dubious virtue), using the remnants of a massive blast furnace to create the universe.

Possibly.

 

[its been fun thanks :)]

On the subject of religion/deities etc anyone one here remembers David Icke- when he declared himself son of god on TV a few years back ? (Think it was on Terry Wogan Show)- Reason I'm asking is I'll read about any subject -just give me a book to read and I'm happy- I'm currently 3/4 through Icke's latest book (he written a few books this is the first one I've read)- Titled 'The Perception Deception' - it's a surprisingly interesting read (albeit with a few really 'wacky way out there' concepts) the subject is primarily a science-socio-political book that encompasses physics and metaphysics, he demonstrates how illusory and narrow our perception of reality is, and how consciousness/awareness is what underlies everything, the illusory nature of time (he suggest we're simulations in a computer program-part of the Matrix in effect) - he also goes into great detail of how religion as a concept come into being and current global conspiracies.
So if anyone wishes to read it pm and I'll email you a digital copy -

Sid said 'I'm afraid I don't know what the f**k you're talking about'
I said you don't know what you're talking about so you have that in common.
It was just a bit of daft humour ffs, nowt to get all huffy about.

I didn't think it would need explaining ...... unlike many of your posts.

As Sid says they don't don't make sense.

I'm not being rude but I'd bet there's absolutely no one, on this board, who could explain what your point is ........ you haven't so far.

If anyone wants to correct me, fire away.

I'm so proud to have you as my stalker

I was wondering what was making everyone so cross..

What is it with people like you?

I'm responding to your repeated responses and questions.

You asked me a question, I answered ....... how's that stalking?

You'll be claiming next that this is a bite but your responses most certainly aren't, absolutely no way!

You've nailed it there mate
