As in, the christian faith. Not to start one of those "I hate religion" thread (sweet jesus h corbett i hate them), but do you ever wish you had true faith? I personally do not have that kind of belief, but the concept of absolution of sins, the concept of the forgiving God... my fucking lord, it's a tempting one. I can't see it as anything but a cop-out for our own weaknesses, and sheeyit, we have plenty, but man alive, i still wish i had faith in god. .... Another pissed thread. Weeee. |

There was this woman walking around the supermaket the other day singing some hymn shit. Very offputting. With regards to faith in God, no I don't really want it and no I've never had it. Religion is a load of shit, and emotional crutches aren't really my thing. |

i don't.... religiously speaking i'm voluntarily undecided, or agnostic, and that's very fine with me! : ) but i think religious faith is a very weird/interesting phenomenon. it's crazy, so many people sharing the same religion (if i remember, etymologically speaking "religion" means "what links people together" or something like that!), sometimes having such a strong faith... i can understand that, but still i think it's crazy!! |

in my opinion there isn't such thing as faith..it's a term made from society to keep us together in hard times. |

Gehehe, aldi... the Supermarket for Hard Times. I'm thinking something along the lines of religion as a cure for all ills tonight, y'know... We all have our little cures for Bad Things, but i think the idea of a God who forgives all and loves all (no matter what the evidence to the contrary might be: We now see through the glass darkly and all that sheeyit) is a comforting one. If you truly believed in the christian God, wouldn't your human weaknesses be a lot easier to manage? Whooo. Fookin' ell, maybe that's the point. |

I see no reason why you shouldn't pray an earnest prayer for God to make himself known to you. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

Because it's a fucking stupid thing to do. May as well pray to Santa. |

santa = satan right? |

Oh lordy, i wish you'd all cease being the sillies and think Something Hard and Maudlin. Unless you're all doing that. You're not all drunk, are you? If so, KUDOS. |

i think god is real, but it is the form we disagree on. i have problems with the deity model, as i dont accept the supernatural. |

If you don't believe in God then how can you believe in weakness? |

I was listening to radio 4 last night and they were interviewing a man who had written a book about the chane of god existing. He was a statistition by trade and used allsorts of formula arguments for/against to get some numbers to play with. Earthquakes, Evil, Morality, the big bang, choice etc. a nice listen |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the chane!!!! the chance |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He must've been a Pantheist. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he was christian and that was the point of having him on, it was grilling him for choosing what to convert in to numbers |

I have no faith but I believe in me |

where do you live? (country) its late now |

Iceland and France at the moment. Radio 4 is a great listen, it really gets your braincells moving. |
||||||||
|
|

If faith is simply confidence in the unknown then everyone has faith. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Ehh, i'm too tired. Nevermind |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I love how Radio 4 is at the same time very stuffy, incredibly informative and then has all this strange comedy on there. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and you... what are you doing awake? |

wasn't there a mathmatician not that long ago who had calculated that God should exist? reminds me of that episode of the Simpsons where Homer gets a crayon removed from his brain and it turns out this has been what made him so dumb all the time and he gets smart and he kind of by accident proves that God doesn't exist and Homer shows it to Ned who can't find any fault in Homer's ideas. that's what that reminded me of. |

I should be doing an assignment for school, writing a scenic treatment for a script, but a scenic treatment really is the hardest part of writing a script, so I'm kind of stalling all the time. I'm drinking beer, maybe that'll help. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But didn't flanders burn the 'genius' Homers equation? I like radio 4 it's stuffy as hell but fun if you pretend they are pretending to be soo stuffy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you might be right about that.. yes.. I like Radio 4 too. it makes me feel like the world maybe complete chaos, but on Radio 4 everything is quite alright. I love "I'm sorry I haven't a clue"! |

great improv truly. I sound like a board treader! |

"Possibly the most well-developed instance of this form-versus-content humour was an occasion when Humph announced that they had a very distinguished actor as a guest, and he would be joining in the game of Mornington Crescent. The panellists first played a normal game of Mornington Crescent, ostensibly to give the guest a chance to acclimatise. With much gravitas the guest then approached the panel's table, taking his place such that he would be the last to make his first move. When the game started, the penultimate player, the last of the panellists, won on his first move, thus denying the distinguished guest the opportunity to make even a single move in the game. The chairman apologised, but explained that that was an unavoidable possibility in the game, and the guest gracefully left, without having ever uttered a word. The show was inundated with complaints at the treatment of Alec Guinness, despite the fact that the "distinguished actor" had never actually been named on the show." |

I got that from Wikipedia page. no specifics about the date. this page is a great read - the writer explains each and every joke to buggery: "For example, the regular scorer is "the lovely Samantha" (who never speaks a word), and the team have trialled many "advanced laser scoreboards" over recent decades. In fact these things are of course fictional." |

Great article - finally I understand Mornington Crescent. Thank you. Although I preferred it before I understood it. Bastard! |
