Artist, I think you would make a great Vicar in your church, now what would happen if you sent the plate around is open to doubt.

Sisyphus thanks for your equally good post in reply.
Well yes you see I do seem to have a dilemma of faith; I believe in science that is still theory not proven. But I would say that my views are flexible not at all dogmatic if something other theory more plausible or even proven I would change my belief in a blink of an eye. Right my own morals are my own morals, I follow what I think are the best possible course of actions in any given situation. Yes as I said the scriptures are a good place to learn. If other people choose to follow a different set of morals as long as they do not cause great harm to others I don’t worry; I do not for instance choose to lecture or berate friends on committing adultery, their choice, but not mine.
Hindsight is a wondrous thing I have done things that I have done and thought that was wrong; was it a sin? Or a lesson?

I would also like to make the point that I do not want to denigrate anyone else or there own beliefs. I am only expressing my own and I believe that anyone has the right to do so. So is religion b****x it is to me but not necessarily to others and I respect the right of others to do what thou whilst.

Another Cornish heathen,
forgot the"h"in whilst.
Fire and brimstone for you me lad,
A devils curse on ye.
At least you got Bill to pop his head above the parapet.

Sir Winston Churchill:

"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property - either as a child, a wife, or a concubine - must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

"Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen: all know how to die. But the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytising faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science - the science against which it had vainly struggled - the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome."

You know, he could have been talking about the Mormons. Maybe this was mistranslated from the British to the American? :)
