just read a post on here stating that people claim to be patriotic but don't go to church on a sunday and now these buildings are closing, well i think you are more deluded than these bearded islamic wankers, our people aren't traditionally christian that load of rubbish was forced on to our anglo saxon and celtic ancestors mostly against their own will and with force of violence, over a thousand years ago. Are ancestors had their own gods and festivals and tradititions that were rob from them and substituted with a load of crap from the far east which was nothing to do with them. Jesus was himself looked exactly like the people alot of people on this site can't stand. And as for the churches they are just buildidngs the places we should look after are the sacerd groves and hearths from which we should lay offerings to our true gods, woden has never left are people we have simply benn ignoring him. Se you all at the dudley demo scrag |

I would agree about the part that christianity is foreign to Europe since it originated in the Middle-East, but paganism is just as ridiculous as any other religion I'm afraid. |

I hardly recognised a single or even coherent question; thus I responded with a bit of sarcasm. Is that against the law? Better call the cops then. There is no evidence for anything claimed in the bible, let alone the existence of any garden of Eden. Maybe you're a mormon who believes it was in America. I mean, human history is at least 100,000 years old on this planet (although some anthropologists and biology evolutionists place it up to a quarter of a million), and for 98,000 years of our existence, heaven with its almighty love and omnipotence looks down with indifference. Then all of a sudden, about 2,000 years ago, god decides to intervene; not in China or Rome where sizable amounts of people knew how to read and write and record history, but in bronze/iron age illiterate Palestine. That's one fantastic story, wouldn't you agree? Almost seems unreal. Edited by AgeofEnlightenment, Apr 2 2010, 03:19 PM.

Waaaaaaaaaaaay off the mark. Truth be known I am generally care-free. This is a forum, and like anything else that promotes public discussion and debate, I am taking advantage of such an opportunity. The interesting thing of note about your response is that not only are you incoherent, but you treat people who have intellectual pursuits with grave suspicion while at the same time holding a superiority complex. Kind of like an arrogant buffoon, but hey, everyone has flaws right? ![]() I don't seperate anyone at all, in fact I've been an advocater of the more friendlier and moderate muslims joining the EDL for months now, and the only thing of any grave irritance is when I see some self-righteous, uneducated, waste of oxygen start spewing the idea that only muslims are capable of evil on a religious and scriptural level; and yet no other religion is. So unless you have something worth talking about, in a manner that doesn't rape the native language of most of the people who inhabit this forum; then your ad hominems were in vain. |

Well yes paxi; most people with intellect use their knowledge to win debates. That's kind of the point, isn't it? Unless you mean that I'm using the fact I might be smarter to brow beat you, but that's not the case. Too many people mistake confidence and wit for arrogance. As for interpreting scripture; the feeling is mutual, and yes have a happy easter.

The big problem with presenting a case against deluded souls like northern lights(darkness more like) and the Age of Disillusionment is that they both struggle with the English language and the paucity of their knowledge of the subject! The FACT that Christianity with almost 2 BILLION followers worlwide and growing fast in places like China and Russia with many converts in the Middle East is well ahead of Islam after being in existence for almost 2000 years is a pretty good record I should have thought. Particularly so when there are still many officially recorded miracles of healing being done in His name. Has anyone ever even HEARD of one being done in Allah's name?? Possibly only when one of the many female suicide bombers fails to blow up when she is in the middle of a crowd of children! Another thought for unbelievers. In Islam Allah calls on his followers to send their sons and daughters to die for him. In Christianity God sent his Son to die for YOU! |

I take it that from his comment Knuckles is off "on a wing and a prayer"! Seriously though,as Islam is against EVERY OTHER FAITH and particularly opposed to Christianity then the EDL not only has a strong cause and duty to stand up against Islam but to defend all non_islamic ones as well. Apart from anything else it would stand us in good stead with the police and public if we had Jews,Hindus,Sikhs and Buddhists in our ranks who loathe Islam as their religions and their people are constantly under verbal and physical attack by Islam. Just remember 9/11, the London bombings and Beslan where 230+ schoolchildren were murdered by Muslim Chechen terrorists and very recently in Nigeria qhere Muslim Fulani tribesmen came down from the North and hacked 500 Christian farmers to death in one night! |

EDL needs to attract more atheists, there is a big "militant atheist" current out there (Richard Dawkins excellent book "The God Delusion" was a best seller, and Derren Brown is one of the most popular TV characters), but there is nowhere for them to go, there are secularist and humanist organisations such as the National secular Society and British Humanists - but they just channel people's energys into "talk and do nothing", they are just the anaemic & flaccid cardigan & slippers brigade. EDL need to sieze the initiative to appeal to secularists, atheists and all round freedom lovers to join in and resist islam. Less than 1 million people go to church regularly so you can't rely on them anyway. |
| Winston Churchill on Islam ; ' 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 - but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world.... | |

retardsreborn: Argument from popularity aye? The number of followers of something doesn't make it inherently true. I've seen muslim apologists use this argument because apparently their religion is the fastest growing (its not, non-religious groups are), people need to stop living in the realms of false dichotomies and multi-fallacies. Most western countries today are founded in secular, humanist, and democratic values; nothing to do with religion at all. As for prayer: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/31/health/31pray.html Although none of the evangelist dolts here will look towards any contrary evidence to their beliefs, just like with the muslims who desperately cling to their nonsense. Knuckles: What exactly is a 'militant' atheist? Are there news reports constantly billowing out of atheists declaring war on others? "Today the atheist alliance organisation opened fire on the agnostic defence association and heavy shelling ensued..." paxi christi: Apart from siding with all your religious boyfriends who spew anything, even giving 'amens' to retarded fallacious arguments simply because they don't agree, I would like to know something: Why do you have a symbol for the Roman empire as your avatar? An empire of which that largely opposed and persecuted christians, was pagan in origin, and a civilisation whos progress in knowledge and science dwarfed that of the christian church that took over in the dark ages.

A difficult one - no matter what you think of Christianity now, it hasn't always been that way & has held the English together for over 1000 years. Our ancestors fought in the name of Christianity - though it is increasingly becoming a fact today that Christianity must adapt or die. It hasn't always been 'meek & mild', it hasn't always 'turned the other cheek' (the crusades / the witch trials anyone?). It either stands up for itself, or dies a death. Personal experience - go to somewhere outside the cities, villages etc, there is still a strong Christian base there in places that are mostly English. I myself went to a C of E school some years back, it taught me right from wrong, though I'm increasingly becoming interested in the Heathen ways of our Anglo-Saxon ancestors, the old Gods & Goddesses. Currently keeping an eye out for local, traditional May Day events in all their heathen glory Too many marxist 'workers day' events down my way.

It has not helped Christianity in this country that for many years we have been landed with self-seeking Godless politicians,Blair being a prime example as a lapsed Christian), a number of perfectly wet,weak Anglican Archbishops who would not say boo to a goose and,finally a pagan cult called Islam which to my mind is sent by the Devil as Anti-Christ to take over as many souls as possible. Lord Carey, a strong and committed former Archbishop and a number of prominent bishops have decided that enough is enough-and so have I. Many of my emails on the subject of the attack by politicians and the media on Christianity have been so scathing that I am hoping to be charged with libel or slander so that I may have my day in court. What on God's earth has happened to this country??! Why are we such a collection of cowed and frightened wretches almost afraid of our shadows. We must all do our bit to promote the EDL and any other patriotic organisations so that our politicians do not control our lives and we become like George Orwell's Animal Farm or 1984-"All animals are equal but some are more equal than others! Not as far as I am concerned for as long as God allows me on this earth! |

Northern187 If you HAVE to rail against Christianity do please try to stick to facts rather than distortions! about its origins in Britain. Christianity flourished in Ireland in the 3rd century and by his charismatic personality, obvious goodness and great learning St. Augustine who came to England in 596 was kindly received by King Aethelbert of Kent whose wife was already a Christian. The King who had a fine reputation throughout England as a good man and king was converted and England was very happily a Christian country within three years! So, for 1400 years Christianity has been the foundation of on the whole a relatively moral.reasonable and fair society only now threatened by rampant secularism, indiscipline and a moral collapse seen in the disgraceful behaviour of our politicians, bankers and many greedy senior company executives. |

One of the Emperors of Rome came from Britain and he was a Christian and his mother is known as St Helen - If you are from Colchester you would have defo heard of her. She is credited with having found a part of the true cross. So Christianity has a long and peaceful existence within these isles. Also where Christianity was 'forced' on certain violent groups , it did happen but not to force Christianity on them but to force them to give up their violence upon the people. And these so called forced conversions were only upon the leaders never on the followers...they accepted what ever their leader accepted or rejected. Christianity was used as a political tool. |

Northern187 you did apologise for the thread, but you then go on to stoke the fires again. I would like to point out that it's impossible to force a whole population to convert to another faith overnight. I'll ask you this. Did the Celtic church or the Church of Rome stand with swords at each and every individual day and night until they agreed to worship the Christian God. And I strongly suggest it's you that needs to do the research because there was more than one pagan religion practiced in the British Islands before the Romans arrived. Christianity didn't arrive in to Britain until around the 3rd century (may be earlier, but the earliest church is 3rd century). It was not forced on to anyone. In fact Christianity grew at a phenomenal rate long before Constantine made it the state religion. And another fact that you overlook is that many of the pagan religions were practiced long after the 'christianisation' of England. Worship of the green man for instance continued well into the medival period (that's why we have several public houses by the name of 'The Green Man', ) so even just a little thought disproves your position and it's all supported by facts. |

Besides which the Gods of the Vikings were not the gods of these islands but imports. They were unknown in Roman Britain...so Christianity actually predates the introduction of those pagan gods. |

i don't worship the gods of the vikings but the gods of the saxons which predates christianity, i never disputed the fact that their were othe pagan religeons here too, and the green man wasn't worshipped as a god he was what was known as an idol. Ok matey scrag |

Duh, don't you know the difference between and Idol and a 'god'....apparently not. An Idonl is the physical representation of a 'god'. Next point. The Scandanavians and the Saxons worshipped the same gods but these were unknown in Christian Britian before the arrival of the saxons. So whilst they may or may not predate christianity in Scandanavia and parts of Germany, at the time of the Romans the important religions of these isles were , emperor worship, christianity, druidism, mithraism and and the worship of the roman gods. So unfortunately your arguement falls a little flat. |
