NEWKID 28,971 Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Went to a scientology funeral last year (mrs auntie).. now that was f***ing weird. Whether you are religious or not the country is based on Christian values, and laws....other religions are the minority, the same as in most western countries, although this whole thing seems like a lot of bullshit to me, even talking about changing traditions, laws etc to appease the minority seems ludicrous to me.. Infact I very much doubt 90% of the people who practice minority religions in this country give a shit, it's the apologists and left wing nutters that want to change things that no one even gives a shit about. What was weird about it. The Scientology church got hold of her at a very desperate time in her life and then turned her from Christianity to Scientology, she then invested huge amounts of money into their "church".. this left more than a bitter feeling in the mouths of her children, I guess she was brain washed. At the funeral one of the Scientology masters (not sure what they're called) carried out some of the ceremony and her son carried out the rest... her sons part was about her life etc.... the scientology part was strange... each to their own in life, but from what I have heard they preyed on a very vulnerable woman and her generosity was very welcome.... maybe like all religions or cults.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Francie 6,368 Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Why IS this a Christian country? What right does a religion have over a country? I'm British and I didn't sign up for any religious shite. It's not all about Christianity vs Islam. I don't want either, all both have ever done is caused agro. How can it possibly bother you so much? Next you'll be getting upset that no one believes in the easter bunny or tooth fairly anymore. I don't go to church. I don't believe in god but this is a Christian country, whether you subscribe to that idea or not. I never mentioned Islam. I don't want any more of our traditions eroded away whatever the reason. WHY is this a christian country? Because 60% of the people who live here are and we were here first. Are they? Or are most of those folk just box tickers who do so out of 'fear' etc. Are you really telling me that 60% of the population in the U.K structure their lives around the bible and christianity? And were you? The pagans might have something to say about that. . . . they are a legitimate religion and were here long before the Christians came and persecuted them and forced their beliefs upon them. . . . . Hold on jai, the pagans were not persecuted here, actually paganism diluted Christianity to become Catholicism, the pagans worship the created things, trees, earth, sun moon etc if they want to worship the creation instead of the creator fair enough, but there's no substance to it, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I watched a docu on scientoligy a bit ago and it was told that the more money you paid to them the more secrets of live would be told to you theres a lot of celebritys that follow it. The guys that made the docuumentey ended up having a few heavys follow them around for some time while they were making it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Right that's it I'm banning it in our house, this'll save me a fortune!! Which part of it is xtian? the tree? giving presents to kids? the (female?) 'angel' on top of the tree? A wizard visiting in the night? I've absolutely no idea mate... I watch the kids nativity, baby jesus, Mary, Donkey, Angels, Kings, Shephards etc... I put the tree up and put a Star on top I love watching the kids christmas carol service in local church They have presents, I have presents, the wife has presents I also make them believe a man in a red suit with a big beard flies through the night on sleigh pulled by reindeers and delivers all the presents I don't believe in god I don't believe in Father Christmas (well not completely, just in case lol).... I'm a hypocrite... I took the kids up the Christmas market last night, it's on the Cathedral Green... We sat and had a home made pizza cooked in wood burner, listened to Christmas music, looking at the most beautiful building in our City ... and felt Christmassy...
