How does Christianity NOT work with the big Bang and evolution???

In the 1950s, when there was a serious debate about whether the cosmos had been created by a Big bang or whether the cosmos was in a Steady State, the Pope argued for teh big Bang because it was consistent with Christianity, whereas the Steady State theory was an atheist…[Read more]

It surely is in Europe and the UK, Gerry, but not in the USA (unfortuantely, given the type of religion that is flourishing there).

But wait..what is the western concept of religion? You mean Christianity?

Read Linda’s post. You may be an agnostic, but your support of Dawkins gave every indication of an atheist. Please correct me if my assumption is incorrect

And btw I think you’re trying to avoid my points, matey

Alfie – the master of the non sequitur.

That is no answer to my post.

I was saying that a better quality of life involves more than the basic material wants, and that people with a faith who worship are not wasting their time – quite the contrary. That doesn’t mean denying your basic wants. Some people do that, because that’s how seriously they…[Read more]

Well, mister alfie, some people don’t just see life in terms of material wealth.

Getting a better life means more than increasing the larder and putting more cash into the moneypot even to many atheists.

I remember some black guy I worked with in a pub in hackney saying, that there’s got to be more than this.

I would say that once you’ve got…[Read more]

That flu bug is hard to shift, Norfolk. I’ve still got a cough in my chest whihc seems to be lasting forever. Fortunately, most of my energy has returned.

get well soon and I look forward to reading your replies.

I don’t like the way you write to mizzy, but you can be very funny – sometimes.

*thinks – did he catch the bug from me over the bandwaves?

I’m afraid a lot of people are frightened.

By no means all!

If God is going to send me to hell for refusing to bow and scrape before him, then to Hell will i go!

Paige’s argument is a variant on Nemesis, who says that she loses nothing if there is no God and no afterlife when she dies. A version of Pascal’s Wager.

I don’t see this as…[Read more]

The dinosaurs had a religion of time. Well, blow me over to Dover. Our whole view of dinosaurs has been transformed.

Otherwise, religion most certainly depends on a belief. Without believers in a faith it will die.

That’s why (imho) Jesus appointed peter as the rock against which all the waves of hell would beat in vain. Peter, not the…[Read more]

Linda, that’s right, but they considered themselves Christians in saying this.

Many Christians were white supremacists and in the 18th and 19th centuries looked to the Bible to justify slavery.

Actually, I don’t think Christianity ever killed anyone, with the exception of its founder.

I think the Klan has killed people, and the Klan genuinely believe themselves to be Christian. I think the Christian churches have sanctioned a lot of killing, and have cause a phenomenal amount of pain and suffering, but that’s because of the way…[Read more]

If any Muslims read your account of the Prophet, Norfolk, you are well and truly fu**ed.

The fatwa they issue on you will unit the Shi’a and Sunni sects of Islam.

Knowing the fate of editors of magazines which publish insulting cartoons of the prophet,, Martin should be seeking a very good hiding place.

Well, I’ll run to the back my Aunty Minnie’s house.

The mystery of death resolved at one stroke. It’s the same as when you’re given an anaesthetic.

No ifs, no buts, no doubts. The numbing of nerves and the deep sleep of our consciousness during an operation is the same as the heart stopping and the brain dying.

How do you know, hell to be…[Read more]
