Thread: Prayers For The Pope

    Prayers For The Pope

    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

    Barking Mad

    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.

    Funny to think that if Henry VIII hadn't wanted to bang Anne Boleyn so much, then you'd be a Catholic.

    I think it was more if Catharine of Aragon had given birth to a son.
    Monarchs frequently had mistresses and illegitimate children - if he just wanted to bang around he would have done so (and probably did).
    They were married for 24 years - the next 5 wives were all a couple of years each at most and he had an increasingly desperate attempts to secure an heir.

    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.

    She was not going to be his mistress.

    If He already had a couple of heirs in tow he wouldn't have even been on the market

    If you say so! Yet you are assuming a lot about how that alternative future could have panned out!
    Yet now that people have a choice, they can still make the wrong one and choose dead religion.

    Henry suffered from a receding heir line.

    Indeed. The default religion is one that one's parents already had. Funny that.

    And we all suffer from an error made by one common ancestor, which needs addressing.

    Yet you now know that wasting your life being religious can't get you there, neither can good works, trying your best, holy communion, going to church or morality.

    Millions of peope have tried all of these and failed; so at least you are a step ahead of them.

    An independent evangelical Church, which means we:-

    1. Are not subject to any denominational body, like (for example) the *Baptist Union.
    2. We teach the Bible and explain why man made traditions (dead religious practices) are fruitless.
    3. Present Jesus Christ as the Way, the Truth and the Life.
    4. Look to support the community with free lunch clubs, coffee mornings and quiz & curry evenings.
    5. Aim to answer peoples questions about Life the Universe and everything via all means including social media.

    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 " your lot " is the best route to your version of valhalla ?

    And that your preachers are the " top boys ? "


    Bloody Baptists

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

    How can you make that statement ?

    Have you been present when God has interviewed them ?

    It's clearly nonsense

    Free curry evenings to support the community sounds good.

    But are they really free?

    Is it Chicken Madras, nan bread and 2 hours of you bending their ears and hitting them over the head with an old book?

    Re: Prayers For The Pope

    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.

    What's a non practicing Christian? A Christian who isn't, or one that is such a natural that no training is required?

    As to taking the piss, if we ever get a fundamentalist Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, religious Jew, Buddhist, or Jedi Knight carpet bombing this board in the way that Truthpaste does, there would be an equal amount of push back and righteous mockery. Only right!

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

    Answer: The Curry Nights are purely social, other nights would include an open discussion where any questions can be posed; we also don't mock those who join in who have been told that 'science' provides all the answers and has the truth about humanity whereas God is wrong on most counts, including our origin. 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 ones taking the mick out of yoga teachers or antique hat collectors either.

    Is it fears of being cancelled? Or simply because there isnt a hardcore headwear connoisseur posting extensively about their hobby on this board?
