If the ethics behind the sermon are absolute and unbending, and are agreed with across all faiths, does the past and current state of the world make it impossible to live up to them ?
Because even if we try, failure seems inevitable.

Which then leads to a schizophrenic (ie normal) way of living where everyone knows what is right, and invariably pretends to do so, but NO ONE actually conforms for a myriad of reasons.

We only have those who pretend.

Why even say the Lords Prayer at the christening / marriage/ funeral of loved ones if the tenets aren’t ever adhered to ?
This seems to be a universal betrayal of love to those we profess dearest.

Amen, hallelujah, hosannah and all that.

Pip pip.

ahhh but pikes……….. while you’re pointing fingers someone else is judging you. The eternal conundrum of replying on a message board strikes again.

Let’s face it, we’re all damned to a hellhole thats akin to the normal day to day existence of a Tottenham supporter. And I believe that out of all the JJB Sports retail outlets that were valiantly and nobly looted recently in support of the people’s democratic action against oppression, that district was first. Marley was evidently right to turn his dreadlocks towards Highbury.
