Thanks Tony you too
Thanks Tony you tooHappy Easter Pete.
Everyone would evo.Il be honest my bitterness towards the idea of there being a god began when my mother passed away when I was 11 .
I struggled with the idea that somebody so young could suffer for several years .
I don't know how or what I'd be feeling today had things been different
The architecture and social history has always been the bit for me.
It's hard to be overly critical too after getting married in a CofE church - slightly hypocritical if me, that, given my lack of belief.
Bluegrass too. The Stanley Brothers amongst many did some great religious songs.If you can listen to Monteverdi; Palestrina; Bach's Passions; Fauré's Requim and Allegri's Miserere and not like Christian music then you're not human.

Sing semi professionally with a group that sing Monteverdi and charpentier music. Beautiful beautiful to sing a listen to it sung so well. It’s as close as I get to heaven on earthIf you can listen to Monteverdi; Palestrina; Bach's Passions; Fauré's Requim and Allegri's Miserere and not like Christian music then you're not human.
Nearly read it as Mantovani.lolIf you can listen to Monteverdi; Palestrina; Bach's Passions; Fauré's Requim and Allegri's Miserere and not like Christian music then you're not human.

We sing together twice a year or so I’ll try and find a recording and tell you when we next perform. Four of them are professionals and I get to join in cause I’m good and my choir master is the leader of the group. The professionals are unbelievableI sang Fauré's Requiem many years ago in a choir. I am jealous.
Yep same for me that song. My first funeral was by mums mum and this was at the endBeautiful music. Perhaps a bit less esoteric but there is one particular hymn that I have never known myself not to shed a tear to. I find it just so evocative of a need for belonging.
I prefer your third paragraph to your first. For the first, just bear in mind that all religious teachings were written by humans (apologies to Pete, I don't believe they were written by God). They were written by numerous people with different agendas for people within different cultures over hundreds of years. Finding them contradictory doesn't prove there is no God, indeed I think it's inevitable that they would be so.
Used to do many of the Psalms as a young teenager.
Half a crown for weddings too couldn't be sniffed at .
Did confirmation classes also but didn't get too far into it
Don't know if it was me becoming aware of class divide , but definitely the first time I felt awkward and wouldn't fit in .
I have no interest in religion but I feel slightly uncomfortable with the mocking of religion. Pete is clearly a good guy and mocking faith seems unfair. It’s brave I think in a football forum to stand up for his beliefs
there shod be publication of these images everywhere in the newspapers and Social media and just end this nonsense once and for all
I have actually tried it and unfortunately, I now have the brain of a Chuckle Brother
Are you Michael Heseltine?Also on my walls is lots of Communist Era artwork,
It's the Mars variant we'll need to watch out for.

His garden.I have his hair presently.
Why? Did he have them also? I'd love some originals. I have faux Ho Chi Minh posters from when we were in Viet Nam and some Czech children's comics (with full on propaganda going on).
I don't know, I feel uncomfortable making vows in front of something I don't believe in. I can make excuses, about how it's not me but my wife who wanted it, and that may be true, but it still doesn't take away from the fact that I can feel slightly hypocritical.Not at all it’s your right as a member of the Church of England to use the beautiful buildings for your special day and to ask gods blessing on your married life.
Is that Just in?I think it'll be fine. Chances of dying are a million to one, they say.
Oh and happy easterEveryone would evo.
eBay?I have his hair presently.
I had a civil ceremony in St. Mary's Guildhall. Lovely setting.I don't know, I feel uncomfortable making vows in front of something I don't believe in.

Even more so if I then spend my time actively running down the institution that allows me the space to do such a thing.
Maybe he himself rose from the dead because he wasn't actually dead when he was put in his tomb, then all the rest of it gets added on for embellishment?
Had my reception there. 20th December 1996 after 5pm service at holy trinityI had a civil ceremony in St. Mary's Guildhall. Lovely setting.
Just with the wrong woman.
Resurrection was a common theme in religions long before and during the rise of Christainity.
Oh, I agree that's a far more likely explanation of just rehashing an old story, but again the original story itself would probably have begun from a person who was supposedly dead rising from the grave.

Well said GI have no interest in religion but I feel slightly uncomfortable with the mocking of religion. Pete is clearly a good guy and mocking faith seems unfair. It’s brave I think in a football forum to stand up for his beliefs
The voting that animals aren’t sentient is part of the Brexit bill so it’s absolutely everything to do with Brexit.
