RELIGION

[Donegal john]

As I keep saying “in my view” because that’s what it is my view.
Stated already each to their own and if it gives comfort to someone to believe in the great and all powerful then more power to them. My father passed believing the same.
Not sure if you’re saying I’m forcing my views on others but I’m certainly not. The thread is asking people’s views and I’m giving mine. Mo chara.

I am a wedding, christening and funeral man myself. Which means a trip to the bar afterwards

I include the non believer's in that statement.

I know, those bleeding atheists with their atheist necklaces and atheist earrings building big atheists monuments everywhere and standing on corners shouting about how you have be an atheist or else some really bad stuff is going to happen to you and travelling round the world trying to make other people atheists and waging unholy wars on the ones who don’t comply, erecting massive sculptures to the first atheist and discriminating against or trying to murder everyone who doesn’t agree precisely with the slightest nuances of their disbelief.
They’re the worst.

Rant over

Only joking @Alastair70

The only thing free about me is my spirit!

 

[Rodcx500z]

OK i started this thread, my view is, i do not believe in god or any other what ever it may be called but, i do believe there is something else what i don't know, we cannot be the only one's out there i just hope they are friendly and like a beer or three

 

[Donegal john]

If we all die and go to heaven or hell (or purgatory if your religion allows it) then what are ghosts/spirits ?
Does anyone believe in ghosts?

 

[Rodcx500z]

n what are ghosts/spirits ?

Well spirits is easy whisky and gin, ghosts are different matter, we have a picture of my fil on a self and on more than one occasion it will just fly off on to the floor weird, ghosts no, after life maybe

Is that buy one get one free, or free with every full tank?

 

[TonyT]

Only certain religions.

Well certainly the three Abrahamic religions are very sensitive about Jehovah. I don’t know much about religions with a smaller fan base, but there’s probably some isolated tribe living in somewhere like the Amazon rain forest who would take exception if you took the p!$$ out of the Great Mumba Wumba who lives in the cloud at the top of the mountain!

 

[Rodcx500z]

Are we the only one's who take the p--s out of religion without being offended, asking for a friend

 

[foxy]

Don't we often talk a load of sh1te after a few bevvies just like in a real pub. Religion and Politics?
I know I do

It is strange how they both come to the fore. Maybe it's because they are a basis of power.

You never met my ex brother in law.

Splendid.
I'll have a large one, then, please.

 

[MashBag]

On a serious note, live and let live. My mum died believing she was going to heaven. Who am I or anyone else to tell her any different.
The problem's start when people start forcing their views on others. I include the non believer's in that statement.

Does that include vegans?

At the risk of breaking Godwin's Law, the Soviets, Khmer Rouger & Nazi's (as well as revolutionary France) kind of did that, and they were for the most part atheistic.

In fairness, the 30 years war was mostly over religion (a long with a few other geo-political matters)

Leave polytunnels out of it...they are the temple of the meek.

and of course "The meek shall inherit the earth" - If that's ok with the rest of you.

 

[dad_of_jon]

I'm not sure just how religious any of these people are, but in my driving around town the worst drivers (speeding, not stopping at red lights, dangerous lane changing, etc.) invariably choose licence plates with "in god we trust" when they registered their cars.

In god THEY trust, I prefer emergency auto braking, blind spot monitoring, lane guide assistance , rear cross traffic alert. Oh hang on, no I don't it's just there in case I have a lapse.

I've always wondered about rear cross traffic alert.... how can the car tell if a car's driver BEHIND me is mad or not?

I have a brother in law who is very anti religion which Is fair enough. Then he started telling me about the spaghetti monster religion.
