Easter Services On Tv

[tiktak]

Seriously, what is it all about?

Otherwise sane, sensible, educated people going to a church, chapel, mosque, synagogue, temple to get on their knees and pray to some fictitious cartoon character in the sky.

I don't get it, never did, never will. Brainwashing, all of it, Manchurian Candidate stuff. People, go see a therapist. You've been conned.

You didn't get any chocolate eggs did you ?

 

Did ah fuck.

I've had discussions about this in the past with religious people.

The old religions laugh at the beliefs of the Scientologists (spacemen visiting the planet and planting us here) but in my mind the Scientologists ideas are on a par with the beliefs of the established ones.

 

In regards to a higher being, around about 130 or so years ago we were not certain that Radio and TV waves existed, so we can't say for certain that higher life forms don't exist.

 

My main problem with religions in general are that they are a man made institutions and open to interpretations and abuses.

If there is a god, I'm pretty confident that he's not happy with some of the things that the major religions have done in his name.

 

Live and let live is what I say.

Amen to that brother. Motherfucker.

[Redstar]

People can do what they want with regards to beliefs

I draw the line at blowing up folk that don't agree with you though

It's unfortunate that good old Martin and Gerry didn't share your pacifist viewpoint MT...

[tiktak]

They were against British occupation

 

What's that got to do with religion?

 

Yeah we're against British occupation so now we're gonna blow up some folk out doing their shopping. Scum.

Gin I was God, sittin' up there abeen,

Weariet nae doot noo a' my darg was deen,

Deaved wi' the harps an' hymns oonendin' ringin',

Tired o’ the flockin’ angels hairse wi’ singin’,

To some clood-edge I'd daunder furth an', feth,

Look ower an' watch hoo things were gyaun aneth.

Syne, gin I saw hoo men I'd made mysel'

Had startit in to pooshan, sheet an' fell,

To reive an' rape, an' fairly mak' a hell

O' my braw birlin' Earth, – a hale week's wark –

I'd cast my coat again, rowe up my sark,

An', or they'd time to lench a second ark,

Tak' back my word an' sen' anither spate,

Droon oot the hale hypothec, dicht the sklate,

Own my mistak', an', aince I'd cleared the brod,

Start a'thing ower again, gin I was God.

Christianity in crisis in Scotland.

 

There's hope for us yet.

 

or are the Muslims winning? Hmmm.

Just looked at the picture in the article, probably in Glasgow, he's wearing a suit and probably praying as he's off to court to be sentenced for slashing someone.

Seriously, what is it all about?

Whether the human mind can advance or not, is a question too little discussed, for nothing can be more dangerous than to found our social philosophy on any theory which is debatable but has not been debated.

 

But if we assume, for the sake of argument, that there has been in the past, or will be in the future, such a thing as a growth or improvement of the human mind itself, there still remains a very sharp objection to be raised against the modern version of that improvement.

 

The vice of the modern notion of mental progress is that it is always something concerned with the breaking of bonds, the effacing of boundaries, the casting away of dogmas. But if there be such a thing as mental growth, it must mean the growth into more and more definite convictions, into more and more dogmas.

 

The human brain is a machine for coming to conclusions; if it cannot come to conclusions it is rusty. When we hear of a man too clever to believe, we are hearing of something having almost the character of a contradiction in terms. It is like hearing of a nail that was too good to hold down a carpet; or a bolt that was too strong to keep a door shut.

 

Man can hardly be defined, after the fashion of Carlyle, as an animal who makes tools; ants and beavers and many other animals make tools, in the sense that they make an apparatus. Man can be defined as an animal that makes dogmas. As he piles doctrine on doctrine and conclusion on conclusion in the formation of some tremendous scheme of philosophy and religion, he is, in the only legitimate sense of which the expression is capable, becoming more and more human.

 

When he drops one doctrine after another in a refined scepticism, when he declines to tie himself to a system, when he says that he has outgrown definitions, when he says that he disbelieves in finality, when, in his own imagination, he sits as God, holding no form of creed but contemplating all, then he is by that very process sinking slowly backwards into the vagueness of the vagrant animals and the unconsciousness of the grass. Trees have no dogmas. Turnips are singularly broad-minded.

At what time on Easter Monday did jesus hatch from the creme egg?

Why not have some respect?

 

for who?

[360]

Why not have some respect?

 

Why not stop being a little snowflake? Snowflake.

[vanderark14]

Good, religious people

 

ok snowflake

[360]

Cathos have killed more than muzzys ever will, snowflake.

[360]

Love that "argument".

 

Everything's fine then eh?

 

Let them level it up?

 

You just don't like brown people do you, snowflake?

 

Just admit you're racist and then we'll chat like big boys.

 

Snowflake.

[vanderark14]

Least I don't blow you up

 

Or is that why you feel ok ridiculing Catholics but not Muslims?

 

"least I don't blow you up"

 

you really are a gump

[vanderark14]

How?

My primary point is yes I don't agree with homosexuality, but then I don't go blowing them up in the name of my religion like other ones do

THAT'S why it's a disgrace the way you rip Catholics and make every excuse under the sun for Muslims

I can't remember making excuses for muslims or ripping Catholics. I may have called CS a fenian cunt at one point but he took it as it was meant and gave as good as he got.

 

There's the difference between you and him, he knows how to take a joke.

 

May I suggest mums.net for you, you'd fit right with those yahoos

[spamspamspam]

Yeah, do me a favour tell me again many years ago?

 

Thaaaanks

 

South America is mainly Catholics, yeh?

 

Might not blow them up but there isnt much of a difference between blowing someone up and shooting them. End result is the same, innit.

Roman Catholics?

 

In South America, the majority (80-85%) of the population who are religious will be Roman Catholics.

In the Caribbean there will be more protestants and muslims.

[alscotoz]

Roman Catholics?

 

You Roman?
