It's ok to believe what you want as long as you don't try to impose your views on others, or attempt to "convert" innocent bystanders, in my view. God-botherers are neither big nor clever.

But anyone who cannot see through that Bill Weise bloke has to have a screw loose or be extremely gullible. An odious example of US evangelist nonsense. And so far from the truth as to be laughable, if he wasn't conning people out of their hard-earned.

I went to Birmingham once - that seemed quite real.

The thing is with all this religious stuff is if you wiped out everyone on earth and every book etc. except for 2 kids and they eventually started life all over again then their would be no made up religious books - none of this John 3:16 cringeworthy nonsense.

Some bint keeps offering me the Watchtower on my way to work - I could go round leafleting people saying I believe in the Fishmonster and Acorn religion.

No one KNOWS - it's just a belief fed down through generations of previously god-fearing folk who are becoming less and less in number and don't really fear anyone anymore.

I get really pissed off when people say they KNOW God is real and Jesus died for me - you really don't - stop kidding yourselves.

I just wish someone who's mildly religious, say The Pope, just came out and said "We don't know ok. Life seems to have no real meaning so we cling to religion to try and make some sense of it, add some boundaries but deep down... yeah you're right it's a crutch, a comfort. The Old Testament is a load of old fairy stories passed down before we discovered more about the solar system and every other religious book has been written by men and handed down with absolutely no facts to back them up.

We have no idea why the cavemen were so primitive and God left it millions of years before allowing them to evolve even though they were created in his image. We're not sure if that was Homo Sapien God or the Neanderthal one but we have people researching this."

It's just silly - some people get a buzz - the same as going to football. Some will get really fanatical and suggest to others they attend every week and become a better supporter - maybe give some money to this pastime. But don't keep suggesting it's anything more than something you like because it gives you a sense of purpose and belonging.

I'd have a lot more respect for Mrs Watchtower seller if she says "oooh I'm old and since I lost poor Charlie I've made some friends and have somewhere to go on a Sunday - but buggered if I know if any of it's true".

Ray Comfort is a Creationist lunatic, He shouldnt be banned from speaking but he should be ridiculed like this

The mountains are calling & I must go.

The 2nd link really does expose Mr Comfort as someone unwilling to change his mind when presented with new facts. Unfortunately that is how a lot- not all- religious people come across.
I can't say 100% the earth goes round the sun. It seems highly probable based on the evidence and the origin of species does need some faith. BUT if new evidence came along I'd change my mind.
If God appeared and did a few miracles I'd change my mind. I don't think I'd start going to church as im not comfortable with the idea of worship. That seems based on years of fear of the weather and natural disasters.
but this Ray comfort will not will not change his mind. All this quoting the exact time he found God. Nonsense.

If you have any other links Parchmore I'm willing to give them a go but they need to be a lot better than evangelists with blind faith.
