Atheists and money loving naysayers might not like this statement, BUT, it is said in the bible, that love of MONEY and things of SATAN would be more popular than love of the one true God! How true that is!QuidnuncReply toSparky123
Strange you say that - the greediest in this world are those with a religious bent. If you have seen the vast wasted wealth in the Vatican Museums, the grotesquely lavish lifestyles of the money grabbing televangelists, the intermarrying of cousins in certain quarters to keep family wealth within the same family, the sums spent on new places of worship, instead of providing health care, basic education, tools and training for life time of self sufficient endeavour, clean water and sustainable farming for food production in the poorest parts of the globe, is enough to make most atheist's blood boil. There certainly are people who are devout believers in some entity who do devote their lives to serving those less fortunate - in return for indulgences from their faith leaders to fast track them to heaven. Atheists who do likewise, are genuinely altruistic. They do not expect personal rewards in this life - or any other.Hendry
The Church of England used to be a synonym for Englishness. Members of the Church of England held their Christianity in one hand and their Englishness in the other, and they prayed by putting their two hands together. So it comes as no surprise that with the fabric of the English (and British) society now disintegrating we are also witnessing the demise of the Anglican Church.Genseric
"Christians " have killed more of their own than the Pagan Romans ever did of them...factAlice
You may not want to go to Church every week or even believe everything BUT there IS something out there with more power than us, call it God if you like. It is the lack of Christian values and morals which has all but finished this country. Now it is all self, self, self.Promote CHRISTIAN values not necessarily the guff that goes with it. The Church needs to modernise, people need something to believe in.Mildres
Psalm 25 v10 "All the paths of the LORD are loving kindness and truth."We, the less than 50%ers are the happy ones with our hearts full of joy, the ones who read and understand the message of the gospel, the ones who care for others, who pick them up when they fall down, who pray for them when faced with adversity. What do the hard-hearted No religioners do?Peter G.B
Theres a book called the 7stages of the soul might be worth a read no mater what your faith is. Now I was born in to the Christian faith in the late fifties. The reason not my parents were religious just they had five children so Sunday school peace and quiet for them . For a time I tried several faiths but finally settled in the spiritual being some strange experience I had . Now I truly believe in the after life and also when our soul passes over there will be no religion. When we pass we become loving energy at one with the universe. So to all I say if there is a God he lives in each and every one of you if not then you are soulless. If you believe there are things waiting for you then think again and open your minds to the truth. A quote from the course in miracles " Christ is within me and where Christ is so must God be. Because is not the Christ apart of him. Voritas vos liberabit Only the truth will set you free.Hendry
But take courage! I am so relieved that we still have the Church of England, her female, g.a.y and do gooder clergy, with their wishy washy sermons, their happy-clappy liturgies under the gallant leadership of Justin Welby, ready to defend British values and to take on the I'slam-istic and atheist onslaught... Oh dear, I must have dozed off again at the keyboard...Totally Fed UpReply toNinestars
I think you will find Christians hijacked a Pagan festival. A festival at that time of year was celebrated a long time before Christianity ever came to these shores. The idea of the tree is Pagan, as are a lot of the other "Christmas" traditions. Same with a lot of the other Christian celebrations, they were deliberately set around Pagan celebrations to ease the introduction of Christianity. By the way I do define myself as Christian.nanny over
It,s no use telling the truth on this subject, the DM will not post it. VOTE OUT, to get our country back so that we do not have to fed with people being offended by us.Mollayo
Religion, like investments, is a gamble. If you pray and God listens, you win and rewarded with Heaven. If you pray and there is no God, you have wasted a large chunk of your time and money.Wayne Reardon
Do not be disappointed that there are so few Christian's among us. When the world turns over and we are looking for a miracle out of nothing we have left, at least there will be some still among us to provide food, shelter, healing our sick and broken bodies. To pick us up from among the rubble and the ruin and even raise some of us from the dead. What is about to come upon earth will have all men crying for what has been lost to them from the earth, with no way to have it back. All that will remain for us will be miracles. Tell us then what you believe......Stop talking so proud and arrogant while your bellies are full......wait, and talk to us..... this time next year.Joe1959
God saves, you see I'm a Roman Catholic and its a Mortal Sin to end your Life quicker, Some may laugh but I will never be put on pathways and fluids and food stopped or my family will claim a fortune as not would they end my life in this world they could affect me in the next. So when you see a sign God Saves (its only talking about RCs)Joe1959Reply toJoe1959
Lot of red tics here but the fact is when you go into hospital by saying you are an RC you won't get treatment withdrawn' why do you think they ask your faith, If there is only one bed in intensive care and one in pathways, guess what one the Atheist is getting lol. I think the red ticks are just because I'm a catholic as you just can't help yourselves in the UKFifsReply toJoe1959
No it's probably because you've painted all religious people with the same brush. You've built up your own ideas about a group of people all who are probably very different to each other. It's like saying why are all women over emotional drama queens that just want to have babies?
