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.

    • We live on Adys (just round the corner). The area is safe and we’re happy for our child to walk around by themselves. There are occasional phone snatchings outside East Dulwich Station but I don’t think it’s massively different from most of London.    The Gowlett is pretty tame, there are tables outside so there will be some noise of course. We have friends on Gowlett and they’ve never complained about the noise. I seem to recall that a couple moved in to the road and made life pretty difficult for The Gowlett for a while over noise, if you hunt around you should find the thread.  I guess it’s whether you’re looking at a house straight across the road from the pub or further down the street but overall it’s a nice area, convenient for transport and the schools are decent.  Good luck. 
    • Fortunately it's school holidays. Depending what time of day it happened there could have been lots of children around.
    • It’s terrifying thinking how many people are usually walking along that pavement to school. Really hope no one was hurt. 
    • 😮😮😮 I hope nobody was hurt?
