Re: Justin Welby

Yet your inability to ignore any comment that upholds Christ is inconsistent with your (above) comment. If you were this disinterested agnostic you would behave as such, you don't so you are obviously not the person you claim to be.

When have I said that I am a disinterested agnostic?

Why do these bastards have to make it about themselves? Why can't they just **** off.

Because they have a form of godliness but end up denying God's Power. The last thing they will ever do is open the 'manual' to see how to fix their own lives, so how can they start advising everyone else?

Constantly over the entire year by all you write.

That's just your warped interpretation. I'm very interested in religions across the globe as they are part of wider historical cultural influences.

Don’t worry - all religions will be debunked very soon. Haven’t you heard?

A thinking child could debunk religion, however that's not the issue. Try and get that before the year (or time) runs out.

They won't be debunked whilst people are religiously indoctrinated as children. It's a very strong cultural influence. Children growing up to believe that the holy books and writings foisted upon them are from the one true deity are prone to believe in the existence of half-man half-elephant, virgins in paradise, talking animals or any other absurd phenomena that seem to have happened thousands of years ago but not since. Most religions seem to teach that their own sect is the only true one and that non-believers (aka heretics, apostates and the like) are to be punished by being consigned to Naraka, hell, Hades Gehinnom etc.

It's myopic in the extreme but until children are encouraged to think beyone the confines of their immediate family and community religion will exist, albeit in decline across the board where education in its real sense is improved.

Children (even in Church schools) are taught about many faiths, and just as you and thers like you would have it, they are taught via the vast majority of books, tv series, video games and movies that secular thinking people are wise and those who trust in the Christ are rather foolish. This is why in our culture we have a spiritual vacuum which is being rapidly filled with veiled and sometimes thinly veiled occultic teachings which most people will think are harmess or simply entertaining.
Ultimately they are far more dangerous than anyone can actually imagine.

Errant nonsense, as usual. The population of the world isn't Christian and never has been - and some societies seem to have moral codes that, unlike your Bible, do not implore people to murder people, including women and children. This is like shooting fish in a barrel.

^^^^ What does this even mean? Assuming you are sober, were you trying to say that the majority of the world has never been Christian?

So throughout life we should always aim to be in a majority?
History is full of disasters that were brought about by the poor judgement of a majority!
So please explain your logic on this point?

Your chosen deity has influenced only a small fraction of people who have ever lived and most cultures have developed a moral code with any influence from 'him' - and 'he' is guilty of several breaches of morals that 'he' supposedly stands for, including inciting murder.
