On the box last night, searching though the channels came across it and they were going on about being in heaven for eternity etc, etc, But what would you do for eternity? When asked what eternity was, said...”imagine a bird flying up to a 10 ft diameter steel ball and touches it with it’s wing tip gently then returns every 10,000 years to repeat the process till the ball has worn away, that’s eternity!”
More like that’s bollocks, they just haven’t thought it through. :roll:

It’s like watching a car crash in slow motion and being amazed that so many people are so gullible.

I don't believe in any sort of god or whatever, but through work over the last couple of years I've had a lot to do with church groups.

My conclusion about religion is that it is a crutch for a lot of people, and praying for answers to things is just a way of reflecting stuff back to themselves.

What I have also had an insight into is how much much and power is tied up in church organisations.

Particularly a lot of the evangelical ones, which are basically a series of franchises which channel money back to a handful of churches in America.

I'm convinced that a lot of the heads of them don't actually have a faith, they are just playing the game.

another scam to attempt to get us all in line. funny how there is religeons of all sorts around the world with all groups of people. anyone knows of any tribe or groups that never had some kind of god. was never a believer but at least you do not get any shit nowadays for not being one.

Will never change my mind about God not exisitng but I've met lots of Christians and Muslims who have made me think again about God botherers. As well as the dodgy fuckers there are plenty of really decent community minded religious types who have great values and always put people ahead of things. They mostly seem to be the people who go on about their beliefs less and get on with life more.

I'm pretty sure having a TV channel is a major sign of being an organisation of bad uns.

I think a lot of people get comfort from it and a certain amount of hope. As people get older and nearer the "pearly gates", I dare say it crosses their minds more.

Definitely lots of religious people have really good intentions and do a great deal of work in their communities. I've worked with Muslim groups and they do absolutely loads of 'behind the scenes' stuff you don't see, they should shout about it more really.

Religion was invented when the first con man met the first fool

There is one group who i always give to and who do a tremendous amount of work and that is the Salvation Army. They were feeding the poor and homeless long before food banks etc.
I have a lot of respect for that bunch.

thats true derwent. its one organisation i have never heard a bad word about and every one i know are nothing but positive about them. i have known a couple from different parts of the country and they both talked more about some project or other rather than pushing religeon down your throat.
