Religion

Lads, God is a great old idea. Religion? Bollocks to that.

Norse God’s for me…

That maybe so with what they believe in regarding different stories but they are specifically told to ignore OT tradition other than the 10 Commandments. A Christian doesn’t need to follow Leviticus for example.

Depending on your denomination you have around 60+ books in the Bible and 40
authors, spread over thousands of years (Moses’s supposed/claimed time and when that was written was 1,500 years before Jesus lived!).

There’s also a ton of scripture that was left out and deemed not canon by the Catholic Church. The Bible is only the Bible because of what earlier Christian authorities decided to put in it, it’s a compressed collection of books really.

As I said, bollocks to that

Vast majority of it is bollocks apart from the odd character that obviously did historically live… but it’s still fascinating and worth learning about nonetheless, from a historical standpoint of how it’s influenced the world.

As is Islam, which is also bollocks.

What makes me laugh is when a religious zealot calls another cult a cult and actually means it.

When you take a step back and try to learn from it it's definitely worth it, still bollocks though :)

Well yeah, that’s why they’re a zealot

So basically none of it can be trusted. It's that fucked up. Also, Christians must agree with slavery, as their god more or less endorses it.

How many of you send or sent your kids to a christian school?

A quid! You tight bastard. My mams Church tut if it's less than a fiver and they now have a card reader. At 87, she has only just stopped doing coffee mornings for them. Meanwhile the church own a former shop, downstairs is rented out for meetings whilst the upstairs is a two bed flat. They also own a 5 bedroomed house. Guess which one the Vicar and his 9 year old son live in.

I visited a monastery on the Isle of Wight recently and they had a contactless machine in a sign asking for donations!

A quid in a collection box is very different to a percentage of salary but yes, i get your point that most religions fleece their followers

Is that why some a seen as a flock?
