Just bumping up an old thread.
I wonder what happened to Ron Lyre, I used to like his posts.

[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_england]Church of England - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url]
Interesting bit on the financial situation of the Church of England there. Many of this countries finest buildings would be lost if the Church of England didn't look after them.
I'm not prepared to comment any more or i'll be the next one hounded out after being subjected to condesending remarks but accused of being the one making them (Pot, kettle, black).
End of subject.
You may as well close this thread too.

I'll take that as a no then.
I was only wondering what you mean when you describe the Church of England as a Religion??

No

'State schools were CofE end of, if you didn't like it you took your kids to another school. No ifs no buts, Cof E was the religion scholls were'.

Madhatter, please could you explain a little more concerning this statement?

At last.

Unfortunately Jobee is no longer in a position to be able to respond to this topic without losing his membership.

So you want to strike down all religion, and then teach the Law according to one of the Gods you have just got rid of? that makes no sense. I dont think faith is blind or self indulgent. As for learning a religion from a computer, why is that any better than The Book?

[quote="chillitt"]Will, as soon as someone engages in debate with him on this subject he will go off on one. putting people on ignore makes it worse, because it still shows as a new post, you just cant see what it says. I am more than happy to debate with him, but I really dont think its going to lead to anything useful. He has been warned to leave his hobby horse in the stable, yet still he keeps on. I would be delighted to have a sensible debate on faith and or religion, but I cannot see how that can happen while john is going off on one.[/quote]

Chill- let me explain, blind faith is self indulgence religion is a set of rules.
What we have been doing is throwing the book at them, what is wrong
with just teaching our children the 10 commandments. If they wish to specialise its all on computer.

[quote="Madhatter"]What winds most up Jobee is that we are there on a lie. A false confession of a tortured prisoner.
The war is a waste of time Jobee, you can't fight a war abroad when you've invited in and live with the enemy in this country. It's too late jobee, we've lost the war. This will be their country in a few years and the blood shed will be on our streets every day.
This country worked perfectly well with the two main religions here, Catholic and CofE. State schools were CofE end of, if you didn't like it you took your kids to another school. No ifs no buts, Cof E was the religion scholls were. NOW they're any and every religion, the fighting starts in schools, then they get this popagander from abroad, we become the enemy, an enemy that they live off.
Ban all religion from schools, or go back to Cof E or tuff sh t.[/quote].

I believe the French are making muslims dress normally in schools-this
may water things down a bit.

Thread.... hijacked :rolleyes:

[quote="Will"]OK, let's give Jobee a chance please, he's making an effort to debate in a reasonable manner. [/quote]

Here here!

OK, let's give Jobee a chance please, he's making an effort to debate in a reasonable manner. If you really can't stand to read his posts, put him on ignore.

[quote="ronlyre"]Time for your pill Jobee.[/quote]

Ok, Ron I've taken my pill, how does this sound.

"Ron, the Ten Commandments would have been enough to teach children at school there was no need to throw the book at them".

Time for your pill Jobee.
