Resigns as Archbishop of Canterbury, think he had to really.
What happens now?
An interim Archbish appointed whilst the General Synod takes months not appointing a successor?
The C of E could be in the relegation zone by then! :hehe:
This is another nail in the God myth
Wasn’t religion just another way to control the masses in the Middle Ages, seems to me that now not everyone buys into religion they bring in other control methods , which are in place today?Quote:

I think you are in a better position to comment on the latter point
All powerful God with the wisdom and influence everywhere , at all times , sits back whilst child abuser , acting in his name , abuses children and the church he controls sweeps it all under the carpetQuote:

Can’t really comment on it and the legion of other abusers historically in the church system? Who in their right mind would send one of their kids to do anything under the influence of church types these days?Quote:

They were trying to minimise the event. I only found out what happened at Musk's place. No wonder they hate him.Quote:

Unlike the made up fluff that convinced you that the most important event in human ancient history is fictional.Quote:

At the Edinburgh book festival in 2010 Christopher Hitchens debated John Lennox. In concluding his speech, John Lennox mentioned the fact of the resurrection of Jesus. The moderator, John Humphreys, asked Christopher Hitchens to respond, indicating that he had five minutes. Hitchens barked: ‘I won’t need five minutes to respond to someone who believes in the resurrection.”
This is a standard tactic – equate people who believe in the resurrection with people who believe in a flat earth, Santa Claus and Scotland winning the World Cup, and you then don’t need to even think about, never mind examine the evidence.
The main objection to the resurrection is simple. Resurrections just don’t happen. But you need to stop there. We agree. Totally. That is the point. Resurrections don’t happen. If they did then the resurrection of Jesus would be no big deal. It would be a bit like me saying, Jesus is the Son of God because he recovered from illness.
Getting better is common. Getting resurrected is not. In the normal course of events resurrections do not happen. But the Bible is claiming that this is not the normal course of events. It is the ultimate extraordinary event. So instead of dismissing it we need to ask, what happened and what proof is there, before then going on to consider the implications.
Proof? 'But the Bible is claiming.....'? :hehe:Quote:

You set the tone. 'Give out bollocks, receive back bollocks!' (The Book Of Rab C Nesbitt, Chapter something, Verse something else).Quote:

You must believe in the trolls of Scandinavian folklore if you are using that term, jon1959 - and that you do is proof that they exist.Quote:

Is it your position that anyone that isn't a Christian is an anti-Christ? This message board must be heaving with them.Quote:
