Re: If I said I believed in the man on the moon I rightly be the subject of derision Not really. I'm fascinated by science. I yearn for amazement. But I have faith. I don't think they're exclusive things personally.
My favourite thing when someone says " I believe in God" is to ask them which be given there are 2639 recognised deities. Then ask them why they believe in their God not any of the other 2638 gods. Whatever reasons they give I say and that's the reason I don't believe in your God. I love teasing those afflicted by religion it's hilarious. Though David Icke made as much sense with his lizard men and turquoise as any of the other Gods do.
I have faith. Not necessarily in any one thing, or God. Hence I no longer go to church. I'm not sure I'm really a Christian anymore. I just believe in something else, something greater. If that's being afflicted or stupid or whatever, then I'm fine with it so not sure why those who don't believe need to say such things. Each to theirs (my favourite saying).
Hilarious mate ,absolutely hilarious! I like to tease those that dont believe by asking them why they dont believe in God, then no matter what answer they give, I say " That`s why I do believe in God! It`s so much fun to mock the afflicted i have no qualms with anone tha does not have the beilief in God, but I find it strange that those people seem to have to prove that they are in some way superior and those that do believe are fools ? I feel that everyone has the right to believe what they want, whether it is in God(of any denomination) or not.
Ok what God do you believe in and why not any of the other recognised 2638 deities? dragons aren't real by the way but you can't prove their not. Sorry couldn't resist. http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/r/richard_dawkins.html
No they just went round killing them for several thousand years, thankfully that's finished in this country.
No mate thats the Tories , I know with Cameron saying he is Christian ,it is an easy mistake to make.
Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realise I represented every human being with faith. Anyway, that's me done with this topic.
