Not my call.
Yes Jesus was a Jew, what they did to him was the last item they ever did as a nation that crapped on God.
If you read the Bible, God let them suffer their just rewards for a long, long, long time, this was just the last till the end of the world as we know it.
Reading through your stuff, you are just as bad as any other religion which is totally intolerant to the beliefs of others, glad that I at least don’t give a rat’s about any of it and am probably a damn sight more tolerant of various faiths than you are, end of.
I remember having to go to the local hardware store to get a gallon of paraffin for the convector heater, that stinky free standing heater with the wick that always needed trimming …. I think it was 2/6d , b…..dy heavy that gallon can cutting into your hand.
Sometimes had to get a bag of anthracite???? or was it coke…..what was this stuff?
Coke was the stuff left over after gas had been extracted from coal, anthracite is a very hard coal, burns hot and slow with very little or no smoke, the best available came from the Welsh coal mines, in the day.
New slant on the Trojan horse, if we get round to invading Africa?
The Bible says God finds homosexuality to be an abomination, that is it.
It does not command or condone anyone to attack them, it actually says people with logs in there eyes are worried about those with specs in theirs; On the other hand the verses I pasted from the Koran above condone and command what is to be done.
Not the same or even similar, also the Baptist church you mention has been/is loudly condemned by all Christian denominations.
If one were to proclaim such insults about Mohammed one would be subject to a death sentence that is officially proper by Muslim dogma.
Boy are Muslim and Christian dogma alike, yeah sure.
The Bible indeed every “holy” book has been written by man, what we see now are remnants of ancient writings with not the slightest knowledge of their origins, man’s vanity is such that every word will be the authors interpretation of old stories, which in turn are a mix of folk lore, lies, fables, fantasy, rumour with possibly the odd nugget of truth, the theories of Von Danniken are just as valid and just as fictional.
Religion, just like humans, has good aspects and some pretty nasty ones as well, come on, the God of the Old Testament was a God of fear and retribution, in reality very much as most rulers were.
The similarity is only there if one ignores reality and wants to pretend it was there.
Christians cannot use the Bible to attack anyone not threatening their life, there is nothing in there to back up such a stance.
There are verses in the Koran to justify them attacking any religion but there own.The Catholic Church did not use its faith to gain power, it did it the way any political power would and having been the only truly accepted religion of the Roman Empire, which was the act of the emperor not the church, was that tactic but that has nothing to do with the dogma of Christianity.
The Bible as long been used as an excuse for all manner of barbarity, religious factions within Christianity have spent many years fighting amongst themselves and anyone else who happened to get in the way, sounds mighty like the present stance from Islamic fanatics.
As far inter-religion war is concerned, you don’t need to look beyond this country for plenty of historical evidence.
At one time the word of the Catholic Church carried more weight than the power of Kings, Emperors, or any so called Christian state, the Catholic Church at that time would tolerate no opposition from anyone, transgressors would be dealt with in a totally ruthless manner, then of course as other Christian factions decided that they had tired of the rule from Rome, persecution and murder was returned in equal measure.
I suppose that not only are scientists mistaken and wrong, but also our history books must be wrong, strange that.
What science knows and can proves is the equivalent of how much water a gnat crapping in the ocean would displace.
If they would spend more time to see how God might have done what God did, with or without the word God, rather than trying to prove what they think is how it should have been done, there would be no quarrels as they would go about it admitting they know nothing and are onlytrying to learn what might, or might not, have happened.
Not sure what your gripe is here, scientists are generally aware of the depth of their knowledge and what they don’t know, most guesstimates reckon that 99.999% of everything that ever lived has quietly expired and become extinct.
Most are very well aware that the fossil record is far from complete, in reality the fact that there are fossils at all takes a set of circumstances to occur at the right time, unlikely that science will ever have the complete, exact and provable story, but assigning it to some god is just plain lazy, a total cop out. Following your beliefs puts us at no more than samples swimming in a petri dish in a gigantic laboratory.
point out that post, please. RpR is a dedicated god-botherer and anything that says different is likely to be someone making a mistake.

Oooops, mistook another poster’s name, spec savers moment there, retraction RpR is definitely not atheist.
Just the human brain, no abacus, and no slide rule; workings-out had to be legible, and written in the left-hand column of the page.
Correct, anyone caught even with extra paper for use doing “workings out” would be shown the door, arriving at the correct answer without visible signs of how it was achieved was not acceptable.
Evidence —
— they have as much evidence for evolution as they had for the water canals on Mars.
Evolution is scientists version of Three-Card Monte.
In one post you claim to be atheist and then spent the rest of the thread rubbishing science, evolution, knowledge, yet defending the concept of god.
Frankly I don’t care about any-one’s religious beliefs or lack of, provided they don’t bother me with their theories or set out to kill me because I don’t bend a knee to the “right” god.
However I do know this, “our” planet indeed the solar system of which we are a part, is an insignificant dot on the scale of the universe, whatever happens on this planet has very little effect on the workings of the universe, for any-one to believe that in our minute corner of the universe we have found the “truth” through religion take a lot of swallowing.
You rubbish evolution, yet the fossil record says otherwise, you rubbish “big bang” theory, but there is a growing theory that “big bangs” have been happening across the universe for millions of years and probably still are. We know for instance that stars (ie suns) have a tendency to implode or explode taking any attendant systems with them, all the energy and material is either trapped or scattered, it is still there, for all we know new suns and new systems may be forming right now, the problem being of course is that we only see these events millions of years after they occurred due to the distance involved.
There is much that science knows and can prove, it is equally true that there is probably as much if not more that we can only speculate about, but I for one do not subscribe to some overall supreme being having control over all of this.
Errrr, that was part of the ‘experiment’ – they sent a mass text to all the phones in the cinema…
I realise that, but it also shows apart from the obvious distraction regarding driving, the lack of consideration for others when supposedly watching a film, in truth the experiment should have failed if phones had been switched off.
My apologies – a highly responsible and vital post. I wonder who thought that one up!!
Absolutely, a key figure in any government and no, I’d never heard of the post or person before.
This is second reference to him being a member of the government. As far as I am aware he was not.
His “title” was Minister for Civil Society, one of his responsibilities was, wait for it, improving the opportunity and equality of women in politics.
Excellent post, may just bring home to some that it isn’t some knock em down video game out there, every respect to our military and the job they do.
Yet you would agree that if a man tried to convince a young teenager to send them a naked ‘selfie’ then that would be abuse, yes? Why should a man, journalist or not, pretending to be a woman, get away with leading another man on in a sexual fashion, MP or not?
.
One major difference, someone attempting to influence a naive teenager, wrong, this guy is a supposedly mature , sensible adult with a responsibility to his constituents and the running of the country, do you really want someone so easily influenced making decisions which affect your life?.
Really does get across the point.
The driving point should get across, hopefully, the other dismaying sight is one of so many reaching for their phones while supposedly watching a film.
