"Why I am Not a Christian"

"Why I am Not a Christian" - Bertrand Russell's classic essay.

Belief in eternal hell fire was an essential item of Christian belief until pretty recent times. In this country, as you know, it ceased to be an essential item because of a decision of the Privy Council, and from that decision the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Archbishop of York dissented; but in this country our religion is settled by Act of Parliament, and therefore the Privy Council was able to override their Graces and hell was no longer necessary to a Christian. Consequently I shall not insist that a Christian must believe in hell. .........Interesting.

funny, in Judaism there is no lake of fire for sinners, just extinction of self. Satan is not seen as an agent of evil and just a tester of man's worthiness of God's favour.

Religions can't be all right. There has to be one truth.

Well when you find it let the rest of the world know, because no one religion has the entire 'Truth'.

The Queen is the head of the church of England...which was started by Henry viii.. because he wanted to divorce his wife and do other shit.. does that tell you anything... and if someone has the flag of Isreal and the star of david on his pic... maybe he/she isnt Christian because they are a Jew?

kenmore @ Fri Feb 08, 2008 7:24 am

and rumour has it that the church of england will soon join the Roman Catholic church... the rules of the game will change then

There are already more Cathos than Anglicans in England. Anyways the Church of England has fallen quite deep... just look at their dhimmi Archbishop.

A Christian can be a Zionist and an ethnic Jew can be a Christian.

One area where we Christians have the atheists beat...

If we're wrong, no big deal.

If they are....

oops.

Reminds me of a bumper sticker I used to see a lot of in NorCal:

When atheists die they're in for one HELL of a surprise.
