Sorry, I was hoping this would be a fearless debating forum, but it seems it's more of a fragile polite tea party where we mustn't upset anybody. I'm already pulling my punches because I can sense you're all just not as tough as me..:) As for "putting people off", my feedback (below) from my...

How can any religion that rejects Jesus the Son of God have any light at all in it?

Enlightenment to me means having the ability to lock on to Jesus like a guided missile and home in on him through all the decoy chaff, flares and jamming put up by other belief systems, think "Top Gun"..:) As for ancient texts, the Bhagavad Gita, Buddhism and Hinduism are all far older than the...

Regarding hippies, I've got no beef with them except they rely too much on drugs, heck I even visited the Rainbow Tribe at their tipi village in Wales some years ago! As for eating animals, i've no beef with that either firstly because God himself okays it- "Everything that lives and moves will...

The Old T contains numerous prophecies foretelling his arrival and therefore gives his credentials tremendous clout, and it also contains the 10 Commandments which Jesus said he had no beef with,so that's why Christians don't want to abandon the OT. However, Jesus did trash the harshness of the...

The kool confident fearless zillion-mile stare in all Christians eyes is proof enough that the holy spirit is in them, here's Grylls pic as a classic example in case you missed it in another thread- "My Christian faith is my backbone"- BG

Only in the context that families will be split if some members decide to ditch the old traditional family religion and switch to him. Look- "Don't think I came to bring peace on earth. I didn't come to bring peace but a sword. For I've come to set a man against his father, a daughter against...

Nah, Jesus gave us a new updated operating system called the New Testament, and all enlightened people were quick to embrace it. Jesus said "It was said 'eye for eye,tooth for tooth' but I say turn the other cheek" (Matt 5:38/39) "Through Jesus we are saved,and not through Moses" (Acts 13:39)...

Yes, no doubt the Norway killer thinks he's a nice guy, just as Koresh and Jim Jones did, but Jesus said we can tell what people are like by regarding them as trees, and if their fruit is rotten, it means they're rotten to the core. Mass killing isn't exactly good wholesome fruit which is why we...

If you mean the holy spirit, none. Christians don't have to look inside themselves or anywhere else, it comes to us..:) Jesus said:- "If anyone loves me, he will listen to my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him" (John 14:23) If you mean the...

If he's a true Christian I'm Dick van Dyke in Mary Poppins..

Christians and Christian Organisations do plenty to relieve suffering around the world, for example I've helped at 10 charities at different times over the years. If monks (whether Buddhist, Christian, or any other religion) want to spend their lives shut away in monasteries chanting and...

For the record, the Bible doesn't condemn suicide or call it a sin, not even Jesus mentioned it. My own view is that if the pain (physical or mental) of living becomes unbearable, suicide's always there as an absolute last resort. Certainly some people got a bit fed up at times but then don't...

Anyway, ANYBODY can be a philosopher, me you or anybody, we don't need no steenkin' badge to prove we are one..:) Songwriters, poets, authors even the ordinary man and woman in the street are quite capable of coming up with little gems, they don't have to formally study Philosophy at uni or...

They're mostly fakes. We know that because none of them have yet claimed James Randi's longstanding million-dollar prize..:) RANDI CHALLENGE- Challenge Info

Yes that's what Jesus said- "the flesh alone is worthless, it's the spirit within that's the life"

Wait! I feel one of my stories coming on! This is a little tale i've woven around an incident in John chapter 4 involving a woman we'll call Leonora, to show how women have always had a central position in the Bible.. LEONORA Leonora had had a rough life. A string of lovers had treated her...

Hmm... A career criminal's 'religion' is thieving because it makes him feel good, and a paedophiles 'religion' is abusing kids because that makes him feel fulfilled, so surely choosing a religion just because it makes us feel good is not always a good idea.. For example Christianity can be a...

The Quran says "fight unbelievers", and the Torah /Old Testament says "stone adulteresses", but Jesus says "don't you dare do any of that!"..:) As for 'peaceful' Buddhism, don't make me post that pic of Buddhist monks rioting in the streets again..;)
