It would be a shame to close a well discussed thread down, not what we're about, and not something I'd wish to do. Keep with in the rules, keep it clean and friendly and it can run.

Posts like that should be subject to moderation. Taking the lords name in vain and putting the words "pretty" "long" and "cock" in the same sentence is highly offensive to me.

 

If your being serious:confused1: then you've twisted that so far out of proportion by insinuating double-entendres from what i wrote

 

another problem with internet forums, tone of voice, internation etc, cannot be interpreted by the medium of text:sneaky2:

 

i meant no harm or no foul by what i said, i was replying to a comment made from one member to another

Interesting thread

 

Butler, didn't you say you were going to bed an hour ago..?!

 

I went to schools where we had chapel every day and twice on Sundays until the age of 12, my next school was attached to Worcester Cathedral. My wife is Catholic, my kids go to a church school, we got married in church, my kids are all baptised [littlest at harvest festival last year], I'd class our local vicar as a close family friend, we do christmas, easter, pancake day and I like to support our local church. Our best friends are heavily involved with a evangelical church in Brum and I like to live a good Christian life.

 

All that said. I don't believe a word of it. I dislike organised religion intensely, it is used as control or an excuse or both and the bible is nothing more than a story book. I don't pray when I'm in church, I don't sing the hymns or take the wafer, I don't join in because I feel obliged to because I'm there and the vicar knows how I feel but appreciates that I support the church for what it is, ie a great pillar of support in our rural community for those who need it. It doesn't need to be in the name of god and I don't need to be a hypocrite to support it.

 

So it doesn't mean that I can't pick out the good parts of our current chosen native religion and live by them. I try to put others first and everyone round here knows that if they're ever in need they can always ask us and no matter what, we will do everything we can. In all honesty, I'm could even be a better 'christian' than many card carrying religionists, I don't go in for gay-bashing, I don't discount other peoples beliefs or try to convert them to my own.

 

So, when is a Christian not a Christian....? When they're just a nice human being I suppose....
