I don't really get it. A delusional man with an over inflated sense of his own importance, got himself nailed to a tree because he believed that it would somehow cleanse mankind of all its sins and lead to forgiveness for these sins from a non existent entity that he thought was his dad. Then the real unbelievable bit is that 300 years later another bunch of delusional idiots wrote it all down and told people they had to believe it or they would expel them from their organisation and stop them getting into a non existent place presided over by a non existent entity, like they had any say in it, and now for the piece de resistance, people believed them. MADNESS.
Did the Real kids look up to Zidane when he didn't turn the other cheek and headbutted that Italian bloke (Materazzi) in the World Cup Final?
Unfortunately, videos and photo's never existed so you do have to rely on historians who confirmed the existence of Jesus. Thousands saw his miracles and hundreds saw him after his resurrection. When I was young if I had told my dad in 70 years time you will be cooking using micro waves in a steel cabinet, talking into a slim bit of plastic and shares an unknown thing called videos with people on the other side of the world, he would have called me insane. Likewise, because you weren't there does not mean Jesus and his miracles did not happen. |

Some nice sentiments there Lukeo. God bless you pal.
I spoke to a vicar recently who is now retired . He said in many years of church life he found faith schools to be better than secular schools. Stated that children have a role model in Jesus to look up to .
Being honest?? Most of the children hate the fact they have to do a prayer 3 times a day and don't believe in Jesus / God etc |

Sorry to hear that. There just children though and still forming . At least they will have something to fall back on emotionally when things get tough later in life as it undoubtedly will. I've often found as have others after very difficult experiences in life just sitting in a quiet church and seeing candles lit can be immeasurably therapeutic. |

I can understand that to some extent.... a moment of quiet reflection is something that can benefit us all in many ways For me though, the difference is it doesn't need to be in a church; it can be outside watching the tide coming and going or taking in the sights and sounds of the countryside, listening to the birdsong etc I'll never knock those who find solace in a church of course but imho it can be equally therapeutic to recharge those batteries away from such a place |

Indoctrination. They shouldn't be compelled to pray and have a belief system at such a young and impressionable age. If they come to God in adulthood of their own volition, then so be it. |

Really? I'm giving an honest post about how they feel. All our children receive their own bible to keep. |

Perhaps I was harsh on you and I apologise. What annoys me is that other religions teach their children about their religion and we don't seem to. I'm not saying push down their throats but it seems to be left in the distant background. Giving them a Bible is great but then they need to be taught about the New Testament and Jesus. |
