I would hazard a guess that a very high percentage of Food Banks in this country are run, funded and stocked by congregations taken from local churches, temples and mosques.
We can bore the arse off each other with our trite assumptions about religion and religious practice, it's historical misdemenours and influences, but people of faith today are often derided and mocked and it is such a shame. In its CofE and Roman incarnations, in this country it is dying on its feet. Come on, everyone has faith, just look at the score predictions for Saturday!
I started this thread to point out the bat-shit crazy pastor. OK, I’ll admit I also have a problem with anyone whose faith lets them deny the age of earth. As someone told me a few days ago, if all science and religion was wiped out as if they had never existed, the science would come back the same but I seriously doubt religion would, too.
I saw an interview with an American 'pro-life' campaigner whose considered opinion was that the appropriate punishment for someone who has an abortion was the death penalty.

Here's a brilliantly told story by Jon Ronson (aren't they always?) about how 'pro-life' only became a thing amongst evangelical Christians after Francis and Frank Schaeffer changed things. Before their film it was a position only held by Catholics.
I'm here! The article was banal and predictable. Shifting to Nathan Jones but staying with faith...
How do we all feel about having a faith-filled gifted manager at the helm. Who actually attributes ALL his success to his faith in Jesus Christ! I can imagine there are some who would take a n y o n e except a Christian manager who openly speaks about his faith. He's started really well ...let's keep praying for him! 🙏 👍

Are praying Portsmouth fans more faithful than Charlton fans ?

League table suggests so
Religious types yelling the praises of god whenever something good happens but studiously ignoring or excusing him when something unspeakably horrific happens is par for the course. It's a bit like the government and inflation. All the time it's going up it's completely outside their control and nothing to do with them. When it's coming down though, they're leaping up and yelling "That was me. I did that!". It's all a load of bollox.

Just like anyone else, he's entitled to his own beliefs, however ridiculous they are, in private.
I don't want to be hearing about his imaginary sky friend in a post match interview, as an example. That's not just Christianity, but all and every religion.

Fascinated by the Bible, which I have concluded is a great history book where the key content can be got to by a robust disreguarding of all the religious stuff. Quite why mouthpieces get their knickers in a twist over it's mere existance or the fact certain sections of society read more into it than sanity allows, is beyond me.
Move on and have a pop at the Qoran, oh what's that? Don't fancy it?
Love dinosaurs though.
I'll have a pop at it. I'm an equal-opportunity ridiculer of religion, although I do reserve my deepest scorn for the Mormons.
Just following on from this, I offered a muslim a pork sausage this morning. She declined, even after I told her it was halal.

I may be wrong here but I believe Muslims should not eat pork……whether it’s halal or not?

Pigs and dogs are considered impure.
I didn't know about dogs. As sausages are sometimes referred to as dogs I may have inadvertently scored a double whammy!
As my Jewish uncle told me, it's OK to eat a pork chop as long as the pig was circumcised.
I told the kids’ mum that pigs are Jewish and that pork scratchings were pig foreskins from their circumcision , and that’s why Jews don’t eat pork as pigs are also Jewish

There was a video of a child suffering in hospital on instagram and all the religious nut jobs were posting “God and Lord Jesus Christ will heal this child’ blah blah blah and someone posted ‘if god was so great, why did he make the child sick in the first place’ and their response was ‘he didn’t make the child sick, he allowed it to happen’ 🤣🤣🤣 what actual fucked up in the head logic is that. They’re all mental.

I always become confused when for example an a aeroplane crashes and only one or two people survive. ”It’s a miracle they cry.”…..Well, some miracle, it wasn’t for the other poor sods.🫤

In this country at one time, the punishment for attempted suicide was... go on, you'll never guess.
