"l'm agnostic but l like religion, well some of them. My problem with people who like to assert their atheistic moral superiority is that they operate with a line in the sand just like any other religious person and that can't be justified. Where do you get your morality from? From which source, other than wanting to be seen as progressive? Why is abortion a-okay but killing someone else is not? The current cut off point for abortion is 24 weeks, the youngest premature baby to survive outside the womb and live is around 20 weeks. So forgive me if l don't buy your morality anymore than Father O'Reilley's" I think the cut off point for abortions is nothing to do with religion. ..more financial. | |||

"God/religion along with greed, Resources, Nationalism etc are the reasons people go to war, But the fear of God also keeps people on a straight(not fab straight) path, I recon a lot of people would go a little crazy if it was proven that there wasn't a almighty God watching us " Very good point | |||

But there's a creationist museum in the UK (Plymouth) and, up the road from me in Somerset is Noah's Ark Zoo Farm that, whilst not actually being a museum, promotes creationism as fact.

"The Bible (and all similar religious 'manuals').... Full of fake news and alternative facts.

"Tbh I reckon Jesus would be a pain in the arse as a mate.... You've gad a heavy night on the booze & want to drink water....then the bugger turns it to wine And I've no idea what he wants all that money for..surely a deity could knock up a few quid from nothing if he can feed 5000 with a loaf of bread & 2 fish... Maybe Jesus likes a speedboat with a well stocked bar & a decent mooring for the Monaco GP? I know if I was, I would.. .
He didn't ask for any money, he lead his entire life in poverty and pleaded with people to give there's away to the needy, love your enemies, turn the other cheek, threw the money lenders out of the temple, he even told people to love his killers and forgive them
If your going to mock him at least know what your fucking talking about!.
I do like my new yacht though! .
The third commandment?.
What do you do on Sundays, draw the prophet on your gable wall
It's my name, usually catching up on the grand tour on sundays. .
It's not your name, your just taking the piss out of him on a sex site.
Get a grip, if you were to come on here with the name Allah Akbar I'm sure you'd be met with all round laughter as well.
Third commandment, thou shalt not take the lord's name in vain"Sometimes , amidst the giggles, one cannot help but state the obvious even though one realised one shouldn't. Allahu Akbar is not a name. Just thought i'd point that out people. | |||
"Not a factual book and was never meant to be taken literally LOL. Religion causes SO much trouble.

They've been silly from the start. God never wrote the bible. "True! It's been written my men (allegedly) writing it on God's behalf. Like any very long book (if you want to strip it down to what it is) there are some great bits and some not-so-great bits! It preaches mainly (but not exclusively) love and forgiveness in the New Testament (hence that tends to be the bit in hotel drawers/used at schools) - but if you read the Old Testament, God (and a LOT of his principal prophets/heroes) was an absolute bastard who killed (or ordered the killing of) countless thousands of people at will! People worshipped him through fear, not love, and the concept of God as something to be obeyed and feared above all else has been popular until a generation or two ago! It's only very recently we've adopted a 'cuddly' version of God who is benign and forgiving! The Bible, until very recently, was used to essentially control the uneducated masses and subjugate women. What better way to keep millions of peasants down than to say 'your life may be really shit now - but put up with it meekly and you'll go to this great place called heaven - but steal food to feed your starving family and you'll go to hell for all eternity!' And don't forget that at one point people were put to death for herecy if they translated the Bible from Latin to English! Those in power in the church wanted to make sure only the wealthy/church seniors could read it - so they could misinterpret it and bastardise it to the masses to suit their own ends! Hear endeth the lesson! | |||

I suggest you are guessing what the 10 are and don't know what they are I suggest you look them up and you may note that most of the 10 are not good rules to abide ones life by And I don't think any sane person needs to be told murder or theft is wrong so what do the other 8 say ? | |||

"The bible has been updated many times, we are currently using the 400 year old one which contains many revisions over the previous one which was constantly updated due to glitches and bug fixes between around 1100 and 1800 years ago based on stories that happened about 200 years before they wrote that one. I suspect we are on version 56.7.3.0 at the moment. Problem with updates since the printing press got invented is people have access to the older one and refuse to update. but there have been several attempts. | |||
