You are entitled to your beliefs....but you are not entitled to disrespect and sneer at those people who have beliefs that differ from yours.
The whole legal system is faith based. There would be no education if it had not been for monks, who taught latin to the children of rich men...then it was the London Guilds which educated children......and the education of children went on from there.

Not all muslims believe that they have to perform acts of terror.....only those who have been radicalised.....and radicalisation occurs by men who pervert the religion they profess to love...so this isn't the doing of religion per se it is the doing of man in the name of religion...man is using religion as a scapegoat for his own agenda - which usually involves obtaining power or money or both.

I can live along side those who have a faith...I can live alongside those who don't have a faith. I respect both for their choices. It isn't hard.

You may have more brains than cashy, however I suspect he has more sense, he wouldn't drive high as a kite risking splattering his brains against some motorway bridge.
So maybe survival is a better choice than IQ?

You don't know if I was high as a kite? Do you - you are jumping to false assumptions about the situation.

My memory seems to recall you posting, I think in your drugs thread that very fact.

I doubt very much that you are ever 'down' in time for breakfast.

Again making assumptions; I usually rise well before 8:30am OK!

No problem, if you say so it must be true, in fact I'd also believe your brother if he came back on here and told me he was a charity worker that used to put baby food on Tesco's shelves for absolutely no personal gain.

Your an Idiot! As you ain't got a clue about how I live my life. Just like I don't know you crawl home from the pub every night - after getting ****ed on your pension!

Oh, dear, did I hit a nerve?

Let me apologise most sincerely to you, after all, just because I think you talk rubbish and every post you put on seems to add to my conviction, does not mean I'm correct.

One thought though, if I do crawl home every night, at least my intoxicated mind is never, nor has it ever been, behind the wheel of a van travelling irresponsibly along a motorway in Cumbria, can your drug ruined mind say the same?

You talk of assumptions then make them yourself, on what do you base your assumption in this statement. From what i have read throughout this forum in your posts, your statement of having more brains than cashy or anyone for that matter is definitely open to debate

Because he is prepared to talk to many of us, are you calling him a massdebator?

Far be it for me to make such an assumption, less.

Less, if you put his brains in a kestrel it would fly backwards

Re: is Christianity a force for good?

I am not a particularly religious character but there have been a few times in my life when I prayed with all my might and I am sure that many prayers are offered up every day by our troops in Afghanistan.
So believe or not, allow everyone to have their choice and don't criticise them for their choice.
