Yet to see a ‘right wing commentator’ take in a homeless veteran. 

Did my post imply that he hadn't?

The latter - no idea as it wouldn't get any air time on the BBC or ITV News. You know it and I know it.

Church is 100% a load of bollocks and the reason behind a lot of bad shit int he world. Also it is a place vulnerable people are exploited and when questions are raised they shut you down and hide behind a load of old bollocks. Cunts to a fcuking a man 

Bang on mate. 

I half know your story and same happened to my auntie when my nana died. 

Full of wrong ens

Aye. It seems those values and principles extend to twatting female coppers, not paying your taxes and fucking off to Dubai. 
 

 

I can think of others who seem very adept at that.

Vulnerable people are not being exploited in run-of-the-mill Anglican churches

My experience is they are. Christianity is exploited by some horrible people. It is a shame as there are some fantastic people however when it goes bad it goes very bad and they are more concerned on reputation than caring for their congregation.

Sorry you feel that way but I'm certainly NOT a cunt. 

 

Maybe not. Or you may feel you are not. Maybe you call out the encouragement of emptying your accounts for glory to god and all that rubbish. Reality is folk let it happen and as long as the brand isn’t damaged then it’s all gravy

Which of the 3000 Gods is that then?

Good point about the homeless veterans.

Why isn’t Sir T Robinson putting any of them up in his place? Half the time he’s in the clink anyway so that’s even more room for our boys.

Fuckin ell let's not pretend the Lineker thing was anything more than a publicity stunt to cover his own views. 

And let's not forget nobody really gives a fuck about homeless veterans when it comes to the boat folk.

I don't think the government make a straight choice

As someone dragged up Catholic I can categorically state is is indeed a load of bollocks 

Its an opinion you have, based on experience but personally i find it too reductive - not in a 'is there a God way' but in a dismissive of faith way.

I wasnt even christened, my Dad is a lifelong member of the Humanist Society. The concession to getting married in a Church was that none of his children were Christened or brought up in any religion.

However, we were brought up to learn about religion and for a time I was really considering becoming a Christian but probably realised I was more interested in a collective thing rather than a personal journey of faith.

I too am now a member of the Humanist Society, and I chose to define myself as such, as the President of the Humanist society Prof. Alice Robert says "atheism is defining yourself by an absence of something. Humanism is a positive choice to base your morals on your own human capacity.” so that as a species we have the power of morality without an external judge.

We are the only country other than Iran I believe to have clerics to directly impact on legislation in the HoL - i dont think that should be the case nor is that progressive as a nation. Im just not comfortable with arrogant atheism that that throw a person's personal journey of faith (of whatever religion) away just because of what you hold true. And saying all the science points to there not being a divinity negates the fundamental point of having a faith. Also, look at how far Communism went by the dismissal of faith. I think that its an important part of society, its important for many people and whilst I personally dont believe in a God, I wouldnt be so arrogant to dismiss the Church despite its failings.

Church and the sense of community and togetherness does a hell of a lot of good for people.

But on the wider scale religion as a whole does far mode damage than good and in 2025 I think we've reached a point in knowledge the idea of an overriding spirt is complete nonsense.

I think you can still take a lot from faith, whichever the one you chose, but still know deep down that it's all a pile of bollocks.

We spend our wages, time and money getting upset or fawning over men in their 20s kicking a bag of wind about.

We all know in the grand scheme of things it means absolutely fuck all. But we still turn up every week because it brings us all together and gives us a sense of togetherness.

Oh and they've got some banging tunes, evensong is a thing of beauty and their buildings are belters. Im such a sad sack I drove out to Minster in Thanet just to visit the Church there and see the misericord carvings 😁

Played in a charity golf day at Blackpool North Shore GC today.

One of the plumbers was telling me that they’ve done some work in some of the hotels full of crack heads, and they have to keep going back because the residents will literally nick the fittings and pipework to weigh it in for meth.

He also told me they’d sent one of their apprentices into a dungeon in one of the gay hotels for almost an hour and he came out visibly traumatised.

That has to be one of the Dugdale conglomerate. DES electrical or Dugdales themselves

I like how you think humans are somehow more developed that in the 11th century. 

We may have discovered more things, learnt more about our surroundings but we are not any different as a species. Our brains haven't grown, we are still exactly the same with the same capacity for doubt and the same underlying fears that come from being self aware.

We still kill each other for power, and use the veil of religion as an excuse but do away with that and wars won't stop overnight, we'll find another way to cover our selfish need for control. I am a Humanist and believe that humans have the fundamental capacity for moral goodness but im not naive enough to believe that its religion that causes wars when I know its humans that do.

I meant whereas science is concerned ffs. That's pretty obvious.

We have more knowledge as a species than we did then.

They thought the earth was flat at one point and that the whole universe orbited earth.

Nobody knew about evolution and ancestry bloodlines. Nobody knew about photosynthesis and the formations of stars and galaxies. 

So every cunt thought some dude in the sky created it all.

Its mad that in 2025 we still have people that believe that.

You're as bad as cheese for just making things up on your own as to what someone has said.

I like visiting churches, I enjoy the magnificence and peace. I also feel a spiritual well being, could be the energy from the belief that has been invested there over the centuries.

Yeah I started mistaking that for possibly being religious but I just dont fundamentally believe which isnt the best way to enter into the Church.

I love them though

Sometimes when you concentrate on observational science you might miss things because of your blinkers... there does appear to be deep down energy that we have yet to get to grips with, pantheism is a belief that I have found  most comfortable.

I've already said I believe in a connection and spiritual wellbeing between certain communities.

There's something about being part of a common cause etc.

Spiritualism and instinctive nature are one things but the idea of God and some overriding being is for the birds and fundamentally flawed.

Why is your God or religion defined by where you're born on a map for starters. All religions can't be right etc etc. 

But if folk draw a connection, comfort and spiritual well being from believing in just that then fair enough.

Bang on 

I've always wondered why despite everything the greeks and Romans did for civilisation and the modern world that no one took their gods seriously and quickly moved on to other stories 

Theirs were better

The Norse ones were all round better stories too 

But no one takes them seriously

In Greece they still get taught at school about the Gods but it more of a cultural thing than religious 

Then there's child and adult versions as alcohol and rape feature quite a lot

To be honest they are so interwoven with anglo-saxon history theirs and ours seems a mute point. Beowulf for example.

As for moving on the expansion on Christianity over the 'acient' gods is really interesting. A lot can be down to the fact it was open to gentiles and also the adoption of missionaries from all stratas of society - especially the poor and the teaching of offering enternal.life and redemption for all - 'everyone being equal in the kingdom of heaven' its a very appealing teaching if your earthly life is poor, short and basically shit - rather than being playthings of the gods, the Christian deity is beloved of mankind having made us in his image. We are his children, rather than to be sacrificed to appease them.

So conversions were happing at a rapid rate and when roman rulers converted it sped it up - and in the viking world, the old gods were considered barbaric by those who had converted.

Basically it told a better tale that was more acceptable to the masses.

yeah, I struggle to get past the first chapters to be honest

"god made everything there is in a week"

and

"jesus is the son of god born of an immaculate conception"

I understand the love thy neighbour and be excellent to each other messages, I can see they that is acceptable to the masses, whichever version you choose to go with be it christanity, islam etc

just can't really undestand anymore why the original stories they came up with are still accepted as is

though suspect that will continue to change generation by generation
