yeah I know - but he's still the main figure head -
as is mohammed as a prophet. did he start Isalm ..no just codified it a bit (tried to stop people doing stuff in gods name and put it in writing so they would not mis-understand - guess what - they still do - you can write what you want and peole will mis read or (in my case ) not write it very clearly
tried to cancel christmas or any other celebration - miserable old duffer
Actually if they didn't drown they were deemed to have "floated" in which case they were made of wood and should be burned.They were also drowned, they used to put them in a dunking device and hold them under water until they died....
The theory being; if they were a witch then they wouldn't die from drowning.
A slightly flawed method of Witch identification given Witches dont actually exist.
The Pope in WW11?
Or Bo'ness, anywhere actually in Scotland ...If Oumahexi had lived in Salem Mass. in the 1600's she would probably have got a dunking and a hotfoot.
At least nowadays we can air our religious views (or lack of them) without starting a holy war.
I remember starting a thread about the Myth of Jesus Christ last year, and wow got some very emotive responses.
For my own part, my children go to a Church of England school and are taught about God and Jesus, not because I am peticularly keen in them learning about that, but more becuase the school is a good school with a good academic record. My children when they are older can make their own minds up as to what they want to believe, I will not influence them.
For my own part, I am a bit of cross hairs...
I believe that JC was a very clever man, ahead of his time, but a normal mortal man with a normal mother and father and nothing more.
Yet in the same breath I ask God to keep my family safe, and hope that when we die we got to a better place..
As for religion, I believe that it is the scurge of our planet, it has caused more wars and more deaths then any natural occurance or any viral infections ever have.
As for Ollie Cromwell... did anybody check his expenses?

I'm a governor at a C of E controlled school - in my experience, the RE curriculum tends today to consist of study and appreciation of world religions.For my own part, my children go to a Church of England school and are taught about God and Jesus, not because I am peticularly keen in them learning about that, but more becuase the school is a good school with a good academic record.

I think you'll find, if you read the New Testament, that he didn't start the religion, James and John did...
I always thought Saul met Jesus on the Road to Damaskas.
Never understood why he had to change his name...
So, effectively he was the first Born Again Christian?
Ah, I see, so a born again Christian is someone who was Christian, wasn't, then was again?Technically, he wasn't "born again" as he had not previously been a Christian.
or with first hand experience?He did recover his eyesight. Ill leave the diagnosis of his blindness to those with medical training. I just offer the information.
