Islam, Christianity Or Atheism?
211 Answers
With the UK heading towards being a Muslim country by 2050 (probably before). Which of these alternatives would you prefer to live under?
The choice though, as things stand, appears to be hypothetical, I'm afraid.

//The mistake he makes is that he thinks his Christianity gives him permission to be cruel , judgemental and hurtful - it doesn't. //
My Christianity is/was something I have kept to myself until now.
The only cruelty I have witnessed, in my silence, is that by the proudly self professed atheists who will sneer and put down at every opportunity those who follow a faith. I find the atheists on this site are the most judgemental, loud mouthed and leary more so than those who hitherto have kept silent.
We have criminal thugs and hypocritical atheists who go to mass every Sunday. I would sooner keep company with Mdme Jourdain and hereiam thank you.
I've been thinking about Christianity a lot recently, after a family death. There's a lovely old church in my village and I realised that within a three mile radius of it there are six other beautiful old churches, which nowadays must struggle to keep going, when once they were the absolute, essential heart of their little communities.
I was brought up in the Church of England, but am not now a church-goer - or even a believer, come to that - but I love visiting these and other churches and cathedrals when I get the chance, and I find hope and solace when I spend some time in their walls. What would England have been without them?
So my answer to the above hypothetical question is: Christianity

I have already stated that I do not the sneering, jeering and mockery - what I found wrong with your earlier post was how you didn't name the OP but at the same time made it perfectly plain both to him and other readers who were talking about and as said, you haven't lived the lives of others.
I don't care for folk being devious.

What I am suggesting is that the laissez-faire attitude of the atheists, running through this thread, culminates in what inspired it viz. I received a card from an intelligent though foolish person (the worst combination) which said, "Happy Holiday", what the hell is that all about? it's Christmas! & yet is she so uptight that she can't even say it? & if we are now to celebrate holidays, why not send one for Bank Holidays too?

I think you have made your point on this issue - you have pronounced several times on a difficult situation that was dealt with by people you know nothing about, in circumstances you know nothing about, but as a 'Christian', you think you have the right to judge and pronounce, and you absolutely do not.
Atheism is nothing to do with what occurred - ask my wife, a practising Catholic, she was there too, and party to the horrendous decision we had to make for reasons you don't know, and I am not going to waste my time justifying to a stranger.
// Thank god I am not proud to profess myself an atheist. //
Nor am I - as I have said, I'm not 'proud to profess' anything.
//What is your justification if any? //
I don't have to justify myself to you or anyone else.
Interesting that you clutter the thread with your family history, and then profess yourself a Christian, and then do the exact opposite of what your faith requires - you are nasty, judgemental, grudge-bearing, hostile - all the things your faith professes to be against, that makes you a hypocrite.
You have made your point about me, and my family, and no-one cares, so you can drop it now and turn your judgement and moral preaching to someone else on here.
Maybe you can find another stranger to attack - maybe someone who cares, but I seriously doubt it.
You are not a Christian in any sense that I understand it.
