Not having met the man, i cant say…..his story telling appears to be popular, i myself tend to read factual material as im sure you have noticed…..take the talmud for instance, theres death, blood, people with fantastic abilities, not to mention the miraculous events… the story of a people persecuted through the times,…

Speak for yourself Pete. Im interested in hearing more of the talmud. :^o

Of course, thats why its been so popular…. Maybe any budding jews out there may find some interesting points to discuss…. it does seem to have attracted the usual trolls but, theres a chance a sincere faithful person might stray…

Yeh…..i guessed that

You guessed what? That I like John Grisham or that the Old Testament bored me out of my tits?

Well Gaz, I prefer a John Grisham. I have actually tried to read the Old Testament before but It bored me very quickly. I almost got to the end of it, but I was totally bored out of my tits by that time.

Google has apologised after its Street View photo mapping service showed a frontal view of a naked child on a family day out.

Images of the blond boy, aged four or five, went live on Thursday in an update for the service.

They pictured him with his trousers down after going to the toilet on Wimbledon Common, South-West London.

The photos,…

Do you think it’s possibly her own fault for standing in front of a bulldozer? :?

What Im saying is that the invisible being over that way dosent like stem cell research, or gay sex, or numerous other things. It’s never been proven that the invisble being ever has or ever will exist though.

I have no doubt science is working on cloning humans and all sorts of unethical practises, should it be allowed to do that, of course religion should be allowed to ask questions, religion cant impose anything, man might as a power trip, and use religion as the excuse, but religion cant stop me doing anything.

Religion is belief in…[Read more]

I dont think religion held science back necessarily, technical expertise certainly did. The chinese who invented just about everything suddenly didnt because they didnt have glass and what they did have reacted with stuff, “western” scientists had glass which is very unreactive and so the chinese were held back. Some scientists put…

Whatever your opinion is of Icke, his research as far as the ` reptilians ` are concerned, it cannot be denied that from ancient times to the prersent, the reptile/serpant has been prominant in most religions and country`s….Billions believe in ` a creator `that never shows its presence, yet people claim Icke to be some mad man for…

I respect your opinion Pete. Im interested in it, but I feel we’d be 400 years more advanced if It wasnt for religion. God knows where we would be just now. I think science took us to the moon, and gave us PC’S and the internet and mobile phones etc etc etc. How many years did we squander in the the dark ages? Science might have made some…[Read more]

I think the same applies to a person making the evolution claim or big bang claim… they have no proof of either as they have no proof of God. There is evolution but from a virus (lets say) to every plant animal fungi and bacteria on the planet ? Maybe the truth is a mix of the two who knows, certainly not David Icke

Im surprised…[Read more]

None of this debate has proved or disproved either belief at this moment it is down to individual faith and faith can move mountains supposedly

Well one belief cannot be disproven simply because of the nature of it. The burden of proof is always on the person making the claim.

Problem is your making the…

Pike’s quote from Epicurus is a good one. To expand on it does the world make infinitely more sense with or without a God? Do natural disasters, people and children dying from cancer, starvation and genocide make more sense with a God or without one. To my mind if you take out a God the randomness, and pure luck of everything that happens to us…[Read more]

I could come up with loads i expect which would still not PROVE either belief

Dunno how else I could prove it Pete. I quoted the guy actually saying he was an athiest word for word, saying that religion is for the weak minded, and saying that he wasnt a great fan of the Bible.
I really dont think he would even fit as a deist, but some…[Read more]

Ah well that proves it beyond doubt eh ?

I would have thought so. :wink: Unless you can come with another quote?

“It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our…

Combining two things that Einstein didnt combine, thats a little presumptious of the author of that article isn’t it. And the salient word is believed. There is no proof either way

Whether they are combined or not Pete. It still seems pretty clear what he was saying. Here’s another quote from Einstein’s last latter which certainly…[Read more]
