Christianity ....

[PalazioVecchio]

I think Black Adder was poking fun at a certain sort of medieval puritanism, not the religion itself.

we either laugh at ALL religions, or none of them.

Cos there is a hell of a difference between Charlie Hebdo and this.....

 

[McAhuna]

Do behave.

Killing Christians bears no relation to being an atheist. Banning Christian preaching also has nothing to do with atheism.

Religion is bullshit. There is no God.
Does that mean you shouldn't have a right to religious belief free from persecution? Of course not.

Everyone is entitled to believe whatever they like, however ridiculous.

This is all about control. Our leaders are trying to stop any resistance to the invasion of incompatible religions and their incompatible followers.

For the avoidance of doubt, the bar is a bit lower than outright slaughter for the definition of persecution.

Abusive name-calling also counts, such as labelling a group 'bullshit' or 'ridiculous'.

So a kind of ironic post you have made there, that religious belief should be free from persecution.

God loves you, Hrolf 🤣

I'm sure he'll be given a very 'Warm' welcome on the other side.

You seem to have a problem with other people's freedoms.

You want to tell us how God is real, and I want to tell you that it is codswallop. That is freedom of belief.

See how it works?

That is what our government wants to curtail. They are the enemy.

You are free. You are free to say you are an atheist who doesn't believe in God.

However, ridiculing other people's beliefs is a form of abuse.

That is nonsense and you know it. It's self serving twaddle.

My belief is a valid as yours. You want to stop me stating mine? That makes you a religious fanatic.

You are starting to sound like an Islamist.

Eze's prayers seem to be getting answered these days.

Yes, God is helping Eze, but not all the other footballers on Earth.

It's like in war when both sides think God is backing them.

Old Yahweh must be a Gooner. 🤣

WWI , both sides fighting for God and Country. Blessing the troops at the trenches. Pretty much the same God.

It's the other way round. No one is ridiculing your atheist beliefs. No one really cares what you believe or don't believe.

But you seem to feel you have a right to tell other people their beliefs are bullshit or ridiculous (or worse language on other threads) rather than just accepting them. That's the controlling and fanatical behaviour here.

My belief is that you seem like an obnoxious dickhead, one who probably beats his wife after his 5th can of stella. You must accept my word because it's my freedom of speech to say it. Get it?

It matters not whether you get the point or not, you are now on ignore.

That's outrageous.

It should be at least the sixth can of Stella.

Hrolf's a good guy, just anti religion.

I don't think you have quite mastered the Christian thing yet.

And, I don't drink alcohol. I prefer the blood of virgins.

He talks garbage and makes claims and insinuations. Very poor form.

His mob have a whole army out there preaching the gospel, but If I say it's a load of cobblers, it's abuse, apparently.

What do you expect from God botherers? When someone tells me they are devout, I immediately assume the worst.

Freedom of speech is over ridden by rules of the forum, bold highlight not ok

He's a good poster.

All this infighting amongst people who probably agree on four out of five things can sometimes get out of hand.

Fighting over individual things we disagree on is fine, I just hope people don't take it too sensitively.

I say take stuff on the chin and if you get a good slagging, come back with your own but try not to over think it.....it's your own side venting steam....sometimes it gets a little hot.

Just remember that the real people who hate you aren't on these boards.

Religion is politics. It's a method of controlling the population.
By allowing an influx of Muslims and believing that integration has been achieved, when in fact we have countless separate community enclaves everywhere in the UK.
This will be a threat, not only to Christianity in the UK, but also Governmental structure will ultimately be restructured to accommodate, as it is at local level already.
Our elites have failed us, and themselves.

While Christian minorities have been killed by ISIS in the middle-east and by terrorist Muslims in Africa, we are seeing a shift in Europe by sheer numbers of immigrants. Christians as a minority in the UK may not be too far away

I recall a street preacher in Reading centre years back, I said to him "what about the dinosaurs?" as I walked past, he swung round and pointed at me holding his bible aloft "The dinosaurs won't save you son...!". Brilliant 🤣

Fortunately, I don't live there anymore. My castle is now located further to the East.
