That's something we can agree on, the thought of attempting to recapture my youth listening to Kajagoogoo surrounded by middle aged farts is the stuff of nightmares. I was a teenager in the 80's and i do look back on it with fondness at times but wouldn't want to relive it-Absolutely tragic.
That's your answer. You don't want to understand.
You run down Christianity at EVERY opportunity,
but you run away from criticising Islam with remotely the same frequency.
Stop being a hypocrite and state exactly what you think of their God and P Mo, without adding your usual caveat that all religions or Christianity is rubbish.
Genie, you are generalising massively. You are entitled to your opinion, but you talk in such definitive terms about a subject that means different things to different people, and those people exercise their faith in many different ways. It's not as easy to suggest that everyone is wrong and you're 100% sure of it, it's a dangerous attitude to take. Plenty of religious people don't take what the good book says literally, how could they and why would they want to? Faith is a hugely complex subject. You may think it's all nonsense, that's fine, i'm no believer either, but to be dismissive is an insult to so many good people who have faith in my opinion.
Please don't patronise me as I know a fair bit about religions but I tfy to keep my responsed to a length that bexits the format. However you wish to couch your argument many pepple havr faith built on myth, indoctrination. naivety, tomes that are put together selectively by other human beings and no evidence that stands up to close examination. As for my being dismissive being insulting to meople that is a bloody hoot. I am fair-minded enough not to be insulted when religious people knock on my door and tell me I am in the wrong by eschewing their particular deity. Oh yeah, once again you are seemingly concentrating your comments ('the good book' ) on just one of thousnds of rigions that have existed in the history of mankind. This persistance conveys a certain myopia and mNy Christians have very little idea as to how even their own so-callew holy book was collated and how it differs from other Abrahamist versions. Or that so many Bible stories came from earlier religions. Religion is a broad and fascinating subject but you seem to be dwelling on just one of thousands of them.
Man, you're so Pompous, or is it righteous, that's probably a word that you don't like for obvious reasons. I wasn't trying to patronise you or insult your sensitivities. Here's the irony, you seem so sure that what you say is correct, you make no attempt to leave the door ajar or show some understanding towards those with faith, yet you are critical of religion for being pretty much as puerile as you are in the opposite direction. Shame you can't see that
Typos and relative brevity are due to my responding via my mobile down the gym, :tbg:
Excuse me, I apologised for the 'Crock of shit' comment, and it still stands. Being called Pompous or Righteous isn't an insult, it's my interpretation of your views in the post you made and the first couple of sentences where you proclaim your own Knowledge on religion, but tone it down so that 'We can all understand what you're saying' And you think you've been insulted....Dear me...
Beddau chaps?
Interesting exchange of views. It's not an all or nothing. To quote St John1.......
He was in the world and though the world was made through Him the world did not recognise Him. But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, he gave the right to become children of God
