Whilst we're on the subject of religeon and schools and that, lets do a straw poll to see who actually believes there there is a God.

Definitions:

Believer: you completely accept the existance of a higher being (irrespective of names such as God, Allah, Vishnu etc... and attend church ermmm.. religeously.

Agnostic: You do not believe in a God because of a lack of proof but do not rule it out.

Athiest: You find the concept of a God completely ridiculous and reject it completely.

Agnostic!!!!

I'd like to believe but gimmee the proof....the same as Global Warming!!!!

i am a monkees version of a believer

I attend church most Sundays......

i'm getting married in August so i have no choice!

Dont think i'll be going much after that like

Care to elaborate?

"...and the result of the wrestling Epilogue is that God exists by two falls to a submission...."

Why get married in a church if you don't believe in God?

Ceremony, just ceremony.

Erm..........yes

I'm quite tolerant but..........

all exponents in anything remotely religious should be executed.

Other than that I'm a liberal.

you sir have never been to St Mary's on a Sunday morning
standing room only

SO DONT SPOUT ON WHAT YOU DONT KNOW OWT ABOUT

I got married in a five star hotel.

Does that make me an expensive whore??

I do hope so.....

I got married in a register office, wouldn't have felt right in a church

I am a lapsed catholic but recently I have started to believe again. it all started on the road to accrington when a blinding flash of light hit me,I looked up and lo and hallelujah it was a humphreys special hitting the net.
And the lord said unto the people" the lads will be well up for the next 21 games or so" and " we will walk away with the upper hand"
amen

Of course you've been married in a registry office. And a church, boat, marquee, football stadium, police station, mosque, Billingsgate market, cross channel ferry and the betting shop.

That's tempting fate a bit isn't it? In both cases.
I mean, what if you were to spontaneously combust on your way down York Road to-morrow.....I suppose you'd be happy then

It'd certainly increase his carbon footprint......

So we end up with a split decision as expected however only 30% state that they genuinely believe in a God.

possibly but i think that people will still continue to die

If you live in the church catchment area you don't have to go regulary, when I got married I said that I was living with my brother to save my Sunday lie ins

what is all this have to go business
no one has to go
you make up your own mind to go or not
only the people abusing the system by converting their kids to gain access
to the catholic education system then drop out of the system once that is achieved talk about having to do this or having to do that

they have a choice

There's no doubt that having God as part of your life is gnerally a good thing and christianity sets out important rules of life (ie 10 commandments) but there isn't really a God is there?

Religions are just used to control people in my opinion. I used to go to church when I was younger, you meet people etc but mass is so boring. From my experience a lot of the congragation tend to be hypocrites. They can also be quite political places as well.

The bible was also writtten in symbolic form and is obviously not meant to be taken literally but many people do, I can't get my head round the virgin birth either. There is evidence though that proves that believers are generally happier and live longer than non believers, but I suppose research/evidence can prove anything.

I don't like the term athiest either, I think most people want to believe but it just seems illogical that there may be a God....

Which bakers were you married in Dibbs...?

I wonder what aliens make of all this?
Does anybody have ET's phone number?
