your off again. no one has said they do. you spouted rubbish you cant support, made thinly veiled racist comments and accused me of being an apologist.
You really are a piece of work aren't you. You probably haven't actually even read what ive written have you.
Gentlemen , please . I think we are all in agreement that a " wrong un " is a " wrong un " no matter what race , colour , creed or religion .
Enough! Either take it to PM or quit @Dicky and @Lord Congi or I'll lock the thread and remove any others that start up again. Thanks. Don.
No problem. But for future reference if I am attacked and accused of being something which clearly Im not on a public forum then I will defend myself. I also chose not to tolerate the racism or xenophobia and it is the mods who should be bringing that to book. so in future I will report posts rather than challenging them. (good luck!)
For the first time in my life, I actually cried during the ten o'clock news!!! Those stories of families still searching for their children really hit me hard. My heart goes out to all those affected by this horrific event.
Interesting point. As the generations of immigrants pass, the religious intensity will diminish, as it has in Christianity. Perhaps apathy will be the solution to radicalisation?
I think it would be quite interesting to see how many people these days actually, if asked, would say they were Christian. It's one of those things that happens subliminally I think if you're a white Brit, certainly of my generation ( born in the 60s or 70s)..... most kids were christened as a matter of tradition, religious studies was taught in school, weddings took place in church more often than not, and being Christian was just something you were even if you didn't set foot in a church from one year to the next. Personally I wasn't christened, which was very odd in school in the 70s and I endured endless stories of not being allowed to be buried in the churchyard and having to get married in a registry office ( it's a bit different now obviously). But I think on the whole people are a bit loath to actually admit to having no faith, to being an atheist. Does this mean religion is alive and well, or on the decline? I don't know. But what I do know is that despite my acknowledged athaeism, I've worked in Africa with full on Christian missionaries, I attended their church services, they probably pity my lack of faith, but it's all about tolerance and understanding. Evil people who do things in the name of their beliefs are just still evil people. And those who share the religion those evil people purport to believe are not by default evil too. It makes me very sad.
ive bought my children up non religious .. as common sense prevails it may become obsolete.. just give it another 2000 years...
i think one of the main aims of these attacks, is to cause opposition within the country thats attacked.. it may have worked on tlb...
