I pity whoever has to sit near that old bore once he settles into High Table at Cambridge. I've always wondered - do people who enter the Church learn to speak in that weird way, or do people who speak in that weird way get drawn into the Church? Also: does he not realise that his eyebrows are in urgent need of a trim, or is it some puritanical CofE rebellion against vanity? Would God really be that bothered if he got the scissors out and did some pruning? |

surely that makes sense - even to you, veritas.
If JC had continued to follow the Jewish way of life then no one would have ever heard of him would they?
It was precisely because he challenged their ways that Christianity was established.
"I can find nothing wrong with him" said Pilate (but the Jews could !) |

Yep, those neo Cons in the USA who all claim that God is on their side don't actually see the irony that they worship the world's first Socialist!
and further irony ... most people dont realise that JC was sent to earth (as a Jew) to lead people away from the Jews.
Thats why they had him killed of course (just as they kill anyone who opposes them).

I have a friend who is actually a Bishop. I did say to him once that religion is the problem and that there is a prime difference between being religious and being spiritual - if people were truly spiritual, and not necessarily spiritual to a church or to a rigid belief structure, than religion wouldn't get into the sort of problems it does do. Rigid belief structures, be it Catholicism, Judaism, Islam, are there to impose the doctrines on others - even Atheism is a doctrine of a belief structure, ironically. Spiritualism isn't any of that.
Totally agree, Steve
I visit more churches (mainly for historical / archeological reasons) than anyone I know - esp those who claim to be religious. |
