The other book I remember was one about gypsies.
I just thought that the colours of the gypsy wagons were so much more fun than the monocolour of our house exterior. And to live in a house pulled by horses! Such fun!!!
Of course I didn’t really read these books. I just moved from picture to picture.

I loved my noddy books when I was a child.
I remember being ill while visiting my auntie in Stockport when I was about four, and confined to bed with some Noddy book where Noddy had been left naked in the woods. I kept turning the book in different directions to find out whether he was a boy or a girl. I was hoping he was a girl because I was…[Read more]

This has the ring of truth about it.
A lot of people have a deep disillusionment with God over failed Christmas promises.
me, I blamed my parents (poor mam and dad).
Really, the death or suffering of a loved one seems very common for a rejection of God’s existence.
I knew one woman whose faith in god was shattered when her baby died. When…[Read more]

Maybe…
I’ve heard that there are deep disagreements over Dawkins’s ideas about genetics,
but
I am not qualified to go further.

I don’t think some people here give a toss about anything but themselves, Alfie, but that has never stopped me posting.
I posted the lazarus post in the hope that it may interest someone, anyone. Pot luck.
In the case of lazarus, I had a couple of specific individuals in mind, and one at least seems to show some interest.
Best for us both…[Read more]

Sorry, alfie, the one who originates the thread doesn’t own it.
If anyone wants to continue seriously on a serious board, please do.
If not, then no bother.
But Father Alfie can certainly complain to Bishop Martin that someone has tried to make ‘his’religion thread boring by talking about irrelevant topics like Christianity, and that…[Read more]

the argument on lazarus seems very important for Christiinaity..
I’d be very interested in a serious opinion.

Paige, I agree with most of your post. I’m glad you’re not letting alfie send you into a spin.
So this is food for thought?
I’m assuming that you’re talking about the Christian God, and the inconsistencies within the four gospels.
I could write about the authorship of these gospels. It seems that only John (arguably) was a direct witness, and…[Read more]

At it again, alfie, running away from an answer and then throwing dust all over your tracks. You think I’m going to run all the way around the houses trying to follow every little red herring you lay down? I’ve seen some (no names, no pack drill) go crazy trying to do that.
You may be a ‘genius’ (sic) when it comes to running rings around…[Read more]

Mister q, the statistics are just past of alfie’s modus operandi.
He is the master of the non sequitur. He creates an argument with strong evidence to disprove a point that nobody has made in this thread. He then laces it wiht a bit of abuse to throw people off the track.

What a cheap response.
The legend of Adam and Eve is not accepted by the main Christian churches as literally true. It is theologically true – that is, it makes a point about a Fall from Grace, in however primitive a way.
Many, not all, Protestant churches do.
So you’re creating a false little triumphalism by saying what we both agree on and…[Read more]

“you daft bugga”, said Guz Khan, to one far-Right leader railing about all Muslims being terrorists.
It[‘s part of a brilliant sitcom where Khan plays 28 year-old Moheem who is trying to raise his sister, look after two incompetent mates, and be a good Muslim; all while being pestered by a cop who’s convinced he’s a terrorist, or at least up to…[Read more]

Norfolk, the Klan is not an 18th Century outfit. they still exist. They still see themselves as Christian.
In Northern Ireland, where Jayda Francen (the deputy leader of the far-right Britain First group lauded by you and advertised by alfie) has just been arrested for trying to wind up anti-Islamic sentiment, people were using Christianity to…[Read more]
