Wow, the Catholic church has a priest for everyone.
He seems to have stripped catholicism down bare to the nicene creed.
Any further and you lose your mealticket.
Many a catholic will be reassured to know that you can be well versed in science,not believe in the supernatural and still believe in god. He will be of great comfort to them.

That is not a BNP website, it is an anti BNP website.
Don't get me wrong I am well aware of what they are assumed to represent. But what do they actually say.
Can the teachers unions justify their prejudice?
Does the BNP consider a black briton inferior to a white briton?
I also would like to add I am in no way a supporter.

Why does a belief in a particular god "make more sense" This is merely speculation and has no rational explanation. I understand that there is a possibility nothing can be proven but why can you randomly assert that one pile of bullshit is better than another.

The church knew it had to move or look damned stupid, also many people claiming to believe did not. They were more than likely just playing along.
All of which is besides the point, not everything has to be spoken as if we are preparing for the final reckoning.You are clearly in education. Loosen up.

Which is exactly where he wants to be, as "only if all is permitted can god exist"

Religion is the ultimate nihilism.

A bit out off topic , maybe.
But a thought occured to me today- why on earth could the "son of god", in a world that already had several written languages, not even spell his own name?
And how come in a world where next to no one else could write did we end up with speeches from him being recorded in a foreign land several decades after his death.And yet nothing was recorded at the time. Just a thought.WTF?
The only explanation I can think of is he never existed at all.
So, god could write on a stone tablet for moses.
But Jesus couldn't even spell his own name.

I prefer not to kill or cause pain because I don't like to see other people (or other animals) suffer.
The fact that a book says we are made in gods image seems a rather abstract, head in the clouds way of looking at things.Are you hoping to be rewarded for this love of god approach?
