I think I may need to step back from this thread now... I will say though Bizzy, I am pleased you have your faith, and should anyone try to put you down for it, they are wrong.


HOWEVER, a Christian who won't accept the possibility that it is all just a nonsense is every bit as bad as a patronising atheist who refuses to accept the possibility of anything outside of proven science!


I prefer to accept that some things are proven fact (or at least far more proven than a bible story), yet I leave myself open to belief in a higher being. This doesn't make me perfect, but it makes me accepting of others, something that I think a lot of people on both sides of this thread are not.

Right.


First, I didn't say that I beleive there is no god. I said I no longer believe in the christian church. There is a difference.


Second, I made no comment on your decision in life, I made a comment on the way you have chosen to express and defend your views and how off putting and alienating I found it. That is an opinion, not a judgement.


As I said, you know nothing about me, or what I think or feel.


Edited for typos

Keef,


I have tried to express the fact that people outside Christianity do have their own beliefs. I can see that you respect other people?s beliefs. There is a common notion for people to think that if someone talks about Christianity, they are preaching and nothing else.


I know I'm *trying* to answer questions but why do people see my answers as a put down? Think of my posts as being someone of the Christian faith *trying* to explain why he believes.

then you are not follwing the words of your mate Jesus & not being a proper forelock tugguing christian


" Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen." Matthew 28:18-20

You can't disprove it Keef so it's a possibility. Even if we know it's impossible in the eyes and minds of some it may be true.



Touche,


However, millions and millions and muillions of people have lived to nowhere near that age, so whilst it could be possible, I think that stands as pretty good proof.

We can see that medical advances are pretty amazing, and within time an age of 950 years might be possible as we unlock the genetics of the ageing process.


If we also posit that time travel maayyyyyy juuust be possible one day, then I guess it's possible that Noah, Moses, Methuselah and all the other long-lived people may have been visitors from the future.

In fact God may be a super evolved being from the future (and he's trying to hide that from us, hence his objection to Evolution...why he didn't just crush Darwin at birth I don't know) who went back to a previous/parallel universe and destroyed it to give birtth to ours...oooh paradoxes galore.


But go on, thery and disprove my theory, go on...you can't!!


Excellent, perfect relativism, nothing can be absolutely true therefore nothing can be absolutely false.


Except the 50 eggs thing.

PR - damn! Meant to record this - did it / will it (if I can find it on On Demand TV) confirm my prejudices about the Alpha course that it's a load of old twaddle?


PS: Did you see in today's Times that Richard Dawkins is subsidising atheist summer camps - most of my Scout camps were on the atheist side - when we weren't putting up tents and cooking dampers we were checking out the local pubs, scrumpy and girls at the chip shop.

I pray this works....

Ho ho ho

It's 4oD last night's programme Sunday 28th June about the Alpha Course.

It was interesting, but more for the sort of people who went, rather than the predictable ones who ran it.

I am not a NLP expert (tho I'd go on a course if there was one available), but was there any NLP in this programme?

I am sure Mr Ronson would have spotted it.

Anyway, er, 'enjoy'!

Next week it's Muslims.

    • On what basis do you object to the economy spend numbers in the report and describe it as "extremely unlikely"? Is that objection based on data or is it vibes-based? Where does this estimate of "50-100 vehicles" come from? The objectors:supporters ratio doesn't speak volumes. Planning applications of this sort always receive objections from various curtain twitches and NIMBYs. It doesn't mean those objections are well-founded or sensible. The planning officers and councillors need to consider the issue objectively, not just count the letters. It's not a public vote. Saying the building is "out of character" is meaningless out of context. It's an unusual building on an unusual infill site. It's not supposed to be a model for future development across Dulwich as a whole.  We are in the middle of a housing crisis. London desperately needs more housing units. This is an opportunity to get a whole bunch of them on a small, unloved industrial site on top of a transit hub. Not building it because people like the Dulwich Society complains it's "visible" is crazy.
    • Not if someone wheels over it with a pram or a heavy footed person steps on it and it hasn't been tied up or is tied but explodes everywhere. Yuk! Agree we definitely need dog poo bins back again, particularly near Peckham Rye park, along Crystal Palace Road, and by Goose Green.
    • I would also like to thank James Barber for his full outline. Given what seem to be clear mistakes in interpretation of the plans by Southwark Council planning officers, there seems to have been a lack of due diligence. 
    • Many charity shops still take and sell CDs! Many people buy them! Locally, both the Mind shop and the Vision shop sell CDs. Possibly others who I've forgotten.  If memory serves, the Oxfam shop in Herne Hill does as well, though it sells them at a higher price than most charity shops. My partner is constantly looking through charity shop CDs, and delighted when he finds music he likes! Please don't bin them!
