Shouldn’t you be changing nappies posh boy ? X

True that mate, those disgusting priests in the kids homes abusing the innocent and vulnerable. All of that we can agree is a sham. That however is completely different to a faith in something “more” and the lessons of the bible. People exploit people, they will use any means to do it.......it’s the nature of the beast. We can be pretty disgusting creatures us humans.

This my view of the bible. These days, everyone wants to take a pill and make every thing better.....it requires no effort because basically as people we can’t be arsed......we want the convenience of a pill. The bible isn’t a pill, it’s a complete post mortem of your soul........it requires you to tare yourself to bits in reflection and thought, it requires brutal honesty and you may not like what you see, it will smash you down and then you need the courage and will to reconstruct yourself.......and it tells you how to do that too If you want “a pill” then the Bible ain’t it.
-
And that’s the clever thing about it, it makes you think. You have to come to enlightenment by reading and thinking.......we all want stuff in little ready to eat and throw away packages these days, the bible don’t work like that imho
-
With all due respect mate, that statement is all over the place. Are you talking about faith in a sense of something more or Are you talking about organised clubs founded on various bibles ?
-
Again, I don’t think the bible is meant to be taken in a literal sense. To me, it’s an attempt to explain how someone as extraordinary as Jesus can be born and to ancient men that can only be by his mother being visited by the greater power that men have sensed through the ages. If we didn’t fit it into these neat understandable packages we wouldn’t even be talking about it because our brain literally isn’t big enough to have any concept of what’s going on......that’s my opinion anyway.
-
A hoax is trying to convince you of something that isn’t true mate. How is it that? It’s only really a blue print and a series of lessons for how men can live together socially and in a family situation in the best way possible.

When you can’t enjoy an absolutely class goal like Puki scored yesterday because of millimetres then it has no place in the game.

The age of the earth for young earth believers is the calculation of an Irish Archbishop and not a very scientific calculation at that. The Bible itself don’t actually state an age for the earth. However, we also have to remember that the bible itself is a man made (all be it god breath) attempt to give shape and form to what human beings have sensed all along. It’s also not out of the realms of possibility that there was a bloke born 2000 years ago who just “got it”......who just had the vision to spread this plan of how to live by yourself and with each other. If Einstein

Scientists have never, ever created a better joint so perfectly made for its purpose than the elbow or the wrist......it’s an unequalled bit of engineering. Thats why the same basic design is used across the animal kingdom.....it can’t be better Fortunate chance or intelligent design ?
-
Absolutely, and I also believe that people in pre history were much more connected to the planet and their surroundings......they felt and saw things we are no longer able to feel and see.
-
Absolutely, and through the ages men have invented “their” beliefs systems to give it form and shape......and naturally enough other men have hijacked those systems to exploit people for their own greed. Happens all the time from your local pigeon club committee to the Vatican.....it’s the nature of men.
-
Ahh, but what about before the dinosaurs ?.......they were a highly complex creature. As I have argued for many years, evolutionary scientists can’t tell me that nothing collided with nothing and produced something.......this is the mind f**k mate, nothing is just nothing......it can’t produce anything. Where did “the something” come from ? I don’t argue that designs have adapted and changed in certain ways, but how did we get the designs in the first place? To me, it has to be some kind of “creator”......things are just too complex, varied and brilliant to be an accid
-
Yes, because what better proof could you want ? There hasn’t been a mind born that could invent something as complex as a tree never mind planet earth and everything in it.......think about that for a second Then explain how it’s just an accident to yourself pal
-
Likewise mate, I can’t get my head round that anyone thinks you can end up with so many varied and highly complex life forms simply because two bits of dirt rubbed together for long enough (a bit of crude way of putting it but that basically what evolutionary science is telling us) I won’t convince you and you won’t convince me......but it makes for pretty interesting conversation now and again
-
I believe there is something more, some force that is frankly too massive to comprehend (hence why we have to give it a tidy little label like God) Men have felt it since the dawn of time, they sense it and see it. Theres too much proof for there not to be (imho) The bible is an almost perfect blue print for living if you study it, trouble is it’s too much like hard work to follow to the letter for most of us, myself included. However, if you don’t try and be a smart arse about it and take everything literally it makes perfect sense. I believe our modern European socie

I have had loads of long winded debates on here on the subject of faith. People confuse faith and the church, they slag the church in order to mock faith.....which shows a basic lack of understanding of the thing they are trying to mock. Anyway, ill just say this.......I watched a documentary on birds of paradise the other night. Nobody in this world it going to tell me that a creatures like that happened purely by accident.......it just defies logic when you see such intricate and complicated design. Intelligent design is everywhere in the animal and plant kingdom......you

No matter what we do you can bet your bollocks it will be shite......striving for mediocrity in sport I have no understanding of at all.

Well, that took an unexpected turn ! Lol

Mind you, the new life story of General Bernard Montgomery looks like it could be a winner ? Don’t know how that actor did it but the resemblance is uncanny !
