If my old dear was alive she would be at it every day with the hail Mary's
If he lives it will be down to all the prayers and gods love
If he kicks the bucket .....it was God's will to take him into heaven etc etc

Surely if anyone doesn't need other people to have a word with their chosen deity on their behalf it's said deity's representative on earth?
Well Mary can save nobody and unless he has some serious dealings with God in his latter days, then heaven is certainly not on the menu for him.Quote:

Anne Boleyn's family were canny. She refused to sleep with him unless they were married, and that drove him even more wild for her.Quote:

Thanks for asking.
* I should point out that I have great respect for the majority of Baptist Churches and despite not being a Baptist myself I have spoken in a number of them over the years.

How do you know a person who was kind and went to church failed to get into Heaven ?Quote:

It's clearly nonsense
Thanks for the reply.Quote:

I notice CCMB rules are in play here
Take the piss out of Christians, no problem.
other religuns, islam or another, you are an ist of some sort depending on the religun
as a non practicing Christian i couldn't give a friar tuck, it's the CCMB hypocrisy at play again and the usual suspects.
It wouldn't surprise me if the Pope hasn't already snuffed it but the announcement of his death
will be made public at a suitable time to deflect other news. ( e.g. a Trump peace deal for Ukraine) Cynical me?!!!
This fred is in the bank for future posts when the virtuos come calling with the isms. :wave:
What's a non practicing Christian? A Christian who isn't, or one that is such a natural that no training is required?Quote:

A fair question (slightly concealed in the obligatory mocking).Quote:

And any old book that's true is still true, just like any new science paper isn't necessarily true because it's really new!
So yes, the curry nights are 100% free.
I notice no one’s taking the mick out of yoga teachers or antique hat collectors either.Quote:

Heathblue is suffering from selective precis , it's simply not the case that Islam, Bhuddism , Hebrew or Student Goth are left aloneQuote:

I consider that the current so-called culture wars exist as some people like to consider that there is only Camp A and Camp B and those two camps being at the opposite extremes.
However, there are many people inbetween those two points who see things in a more balanced fashion and appreciate nuance and complexity - and for my part I don't appreciate being dragged into such a binary concept as you suggest.
Like many people, you may find binary issues to be uncomfortable, as people like to sink into the fog that is grey, so that they can be invisible when it comes to where they stand:-Quote:

When people gathered at Liverpool docks to hear the fate of their loved ones in 1912, the news finally came through that of its total of 2,240 passengers and crew, only 706 people survived. The majority perished. There were no grey areas.
It will be no different for you, me and the Pope. We will either be saved or we will perish.
Thanks for the irrelevant guff and inevitable and tiresome religious carpet bombing. My reference to binary issues was not about gender.Quote:

Turner Syndrome: This condition affects females who have only one X chromosome (45,X) instead of two. It can lead to short stature, delayed puberty, infertility, heart defects, and certain learning disabilities.
Klinefelter Syndrome: Males with this condition have an extra X chromosome (47,XXY). Symptoms can include reduced muscle mass, less facial and body hair, enlarged breast tissue, and infertility.
Triple X Syndrome: Females with this condition have an extra X chromosome (47,XXX). Many women with triple X syndrome have no symptoms or only mild symptoms, but it can sometimes cause tall stature, learning disabilities, and developmental delays.
XYY Syndrome: Males with an extra Y chromosome (47,XYY) may be taller than average and have an increased risk of learning difficulties and behavioural problems.
Swyer Syndrome: Individuals with this condition have XY chromosomes but develop female genitalia. They do not develop functional ovaries or testes and require hormone replacement therapy to go through puberty.
I don't think the above conditions are too difficult to classify, the only sight doubt would occur with the 1 in 80,000 chance of Swyer Syndrome which includes X & Y chromosomes, yet even in this case we read that - "they have normal female reproductive organs, including a uterus, fallopian tubes, and vagina" - so we shouldn't get too confused even in these cases.Quote:
