Tickled me when i heard this on the wireless. People discussing whether a fictitious entity is a bloke or a bird.

Couldnt make it up.

Oh hang on … yeah you can

but he/she had a wife

was all over the old testament until early christians removed her from the book of kings

The Isrealite worshiped Yahweh and Asherah as husband and wife dieties

Ahh at least he/she is keeping with the times, after all everything else is trans.

Just because something is written down somewhere it doesn't automatically mean it is true.

You seem to have an axe to grind with Christianity? The other 2 major religions don't give a flying fuck about gay people either, I suspect they wouldn't even bless them.

The important thing is the law which does care.

Why someone even cares why getting the nod from a man in a frock astounds me, most of it is as political as it appears though. Religion has mostly been boiled down to a custom in the west and in that form it is still strong, the way we live by our religious roots.

Not at all - I was referring to todays news from the deliberations of the CoE. Have I missed any announcements from yesterday from other religions on same sex marriage? If so please inform me I am all ears

Looks like the CofE are prepared to bless gay unions, it's a step forward not a step back.

ITN news 6pm yesterday.
Turkey earthquake (obviously terrible)
Family that survived now living in a tent surrounded by snow.
They interview a little girl “i pray to god that the wind doesn’t get into the tent as it’s freezing” then cuts back to them praying.

If your religious and believe in god and god is everywhere and does everything - surely he’s the last person/thing you want to pray to!

Surely you would be asking him why did he cause this earthquake and kill over 20,000 of his followers?

I am not religous but in religions defence. No religion preaches that if you believe in him he will protect you from natural disasters, (even though he made the world)
