Just like the City thread on RAWK where they have 800 or so pages saying how they don’t care about us, the anti religious lot just can’t help themselves.

Not mine and assuming you are in the UK I live in the same country as youbecause its impacts daily life to the detriment of others

i guess which side of the fence you are on
why for instance are there 24 Anglican bishops in the house of lords for no good reason i can think of
who can then influence the law making process with their undoubted bias
according to the nss less than 2% of people are regular Anglican service attendees
so who are they representing?
that is an impact that will be to the detriment of others

You might think you guess which side of the fence I’m on but you’ll be wrong, I don’t follow a religion I just don’t have a problem with it. People doing shit things in the name of religion though but then that’s people for you. It’s people also, from one of our local churches who operate the foodbank. Bloody religious weirdos.
Agree with you up to a point about the Lords but 24 Anglican bishops is a small proportion of the 776 members who sit in that bloated chamber, many just put there by their mates having effectively bought their way in. So that is a bigger debate.
As for religion impacting on our daily lives, well yesterday on the most important day of the Christian calendar I drove to Llandudno, had a picnic, an ice cream, walked up the Orme, had a chippy tea and came home. Seems I was free to do and think what I want.

I don’t follow or believe in any religions but I find them very interesting. I’ve found reading about disproving the historicity of it all to be one of my favourite topics, as well as the history surrounding religions.
Search for some of @ZenHalfTimeCrock ’s posts on this thread, they’re really good.

made no assumptions mate
i asked why they are in the house of lords and for what reason? 24 is of course a small proportion but there is a chance for influence which in my eyes is 24 too many
glad you had unimpacted chippy tea sounds good
i had a unimpacted lamb dinner whilst watching firmino put the title back in our hands

I enjoy Zen’s posts, they are fascinating and enlightening. If I had the time and volition I’d like to have studied theology or whatever it is. It’s an interesting subject. As a psychiatric nurse dealing over the years with suicidal and depressed individuals I would always look for a way in about their spiritual beliefs, if they had any. It can be a life saver
I married into a family who are religious, my family growing up had nowt to do with it, so from the outside I imagined it would be a Simpsons style Flanders lifestyle, could be quite nice in a lot of ways, couldn't be further from the truth...
Brother-in-Law bleats on about Jesus, posts random shit about him at Easter, Christmas etc, has been baptised by some church thing when he was in his 30s, he's also been arrested for rape, has a history of abusing women, used to randomly leave threatening messages to my wife about all sorts of things, proper nasty ****, yet pretends to be John Boy Walton.
Mother-in-Law - same with the Jesus praising and going to church stuff, all pretence as she has been living in her married lovers house for decade, goes on holidays with his wife, pretends to be her best friend all whilst shagging her husband, turned a blind eye whilst her own daughters were sexually abused as children by her own father, who was ... yes you got it, highly religious, he was also a god quoting man, yet after his death turned out to be the local version of Jimmy Saville.
Proper fucked up stuff, pictures all over of church stuff in each of their houses, songs of praise and all that jazz,
From what I've heard, as I have nowt to do with them anymore, they are still these religious people who join in with the sing songs on a Sunday, judge others and are just general cunts hiding behind this wall of holiness.
I'm sure there must be some good folk who follow god or whatever you want to call him or her or it or ghosts or things, but fuck me, theres some murky shit going on behind the scenes with a lot of those people.

The Silk Road.
Trade routes spread goods, wealth and people but also the exchange of stories and religious beliefs.
Invasion.
From Sumerians, to Akkadians, Canaanites, Philistines, Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Phoenicians, Judeans, Israelites, Samaritans, Endomites, Nabateans, Persians, Macedonians, Seleucids, Ptolemaics, Hasmoneans, Greeks and Romans… all of these were empires that conquered the Levant or emigration of people from where these empires were from to the Levant or were Levantine empires that sprung up and grew in the area; all bringing their own customs, culture and religions into the area over the millennia.
All of these older stories and legends, and the iconography and traditions associated with them, are from somewhere on these ancient trade routes or from empires who moved into the Levant: Horos, Krishna, Oddyseus, Romulus, Dionysus, Heracles, Hermes, Serapis, Zeus, Adonis, Asclepius, Glycon, Zoroaster, Attis, Mythra, Buddha, Tammuz, and many more…
Even within Judaism and Christianity, parts of the Jesus story and iconography are seen in Joseph (the technicolour dreamcoat one) and in Samson as well as others.
Judaism and Christianity are just a gathering of all of these different peoples’ religions, a bit of continuation, a bit of adaptation, a lot of plagiarism and hey presto you have new religions.

I have to ask, what is an 'unimpacted' lamb or chippy tea?

Maybe they could also explain why everyone on that list is considered mythical but Jebus was real.
Diego Armando Maradona was real. And he did a lot more for the poor and downtrodden than any fake short arse hunchbacked Jewish guy

Think it means the sheep was slaughtered humanely instead of bludgeoned to death.
