I am not comfortable at killing of anyone in Iraq
Chico, correct me if I am wrong but are you not an ardent supporter of the war in Iraq???? War - killing - Iraq.
Also, I believe in God and His will but will have no truck with your religion or any other on earth - does that still make me an 'atheist' in your eyes? Or is that only when I don't agree with what you say

Ere Chico, have I got this Christianity thing wrong then?
I understood that as long as one repented of ones sins one was forgiven. Not that one had to completely stop sinning.
Is that not right?
All those Catholics asking for absolution are going to be a bit surprised on judgement day!

There is a neat conspiracy to avoid answering any practical concerns that people have about your religion.
You are indeed a flake.

"what price have you had to pay? what sacrificies have you made?."
DA has a good point there CL. No rights without duties. No gain without pain. That Simon Stylites now. A proper Christian he was. Stuck up a pole for forty years or whatever it was. Why don't you climb up a pole and stay there for 40 years? In return for an eternity in paradise, an absolute bargain!!
Aw bollox I gotta go get my train soon for another boring week. DA, you're an experienced chap, why don't you give tips on how NOT to get a contract? I tried my damndest not to get one, really I did. It isn't fair!
PS No hard feelings for mutual mud slinging this weekend. Till next time anyhow!

Believers are required to live as Christ would (WWJD) in our daily lives be we pop stars, recruitment agents or IT contractors. We are supposed to tell the world about the Good News rather than stick our heads into the sand.

Originally posted by ChicoDodgy do you really believe this? Please describe my "bespoke" Christianity? If you think that then you are mistaken. Christ did not die for our sins for us to to accept him and then continue leading sinful lives. Every life is sacred so I unlike you I am not comfortable at killing of anyone in Iraq, London or anywhere else for that matter.
As for your analogy about taking drugs a quote from Alice Cooper springs to mind "'It doesn't matter how many drugs I take, I'm not fulfilled. This isn't satisfying.There's a spiritual hunger going on. Everybody feels it. If you don't feel it now, you will. Trust me. You will... Drinking beer is easy. Trashing your hotel room is easy. But being a Christian, that's a tough call. That's rebellion."
You said "so I unlike you I am not comfortable at killing of anyone in Iraq, London or anywhere else for that matter". That is not what I said, I said you were as comfortable as anyone about the killing of civilians in Iraq, I did not say that you were comfortable with it.

Dodgy please clarify
Originally posted by DodgyAgentThe neat thing about modern Christianity is that you can "buy it for yourself". You can join the club and make yourself feel better about yourself and superior to everyone else. It is like taking a drug. The even better news is that you do not have to give up anything whatsoever, no joining a monastry to live a life of celibacy for example. You dont have to follow to the letter of the law the ten commandments because by accepting god you have booked your place in heaven, and it cannot be revoked.
Chico is a prime example of this. He is as comfortable as anyone about the killing of innocents in Iraq (accidentally) by coalition forces. There is no integrity about his religion because Christianity is a bespoke solution tailor made to suit every individual.You dont have to follow to the letter of the law the ten commandments because by accepting god you have booked your place in heaven, and it cannot be revoked.
