Dear TV programmers, stop making programmes deconstructing the Christian faith, we know it's a matter of belief and that most of it is impossible to prove. That's why Christianity is called a faith.

I also notice their is a distinct lack of you doing this to other faiths. I realise this is because you don't want to offend them, but could you have the same sort of respect for my religion.

Thank you.

I must say that the no state religion thing sounds like such a good idea.

In theory, it's a nice idea. Of course, most of the population is Christian anyway, and we do have plenty of bigots and fanatics here, so non-Christians do still have to put up with a fair bit of shit in certain places, but at least legally everybody has protection from religious persecution.

True and I'd be in heaps of trouble. I quite like the old testment and it fits closer to my beliefs about God (mainly that he's a twisted bastard).

The Old Testament has better stories than the New. The philosophy in the New Testament is nicer and happier, but it's kind of bland. =)

St. Paul, the band-wagon jumping hypocrite, I want to see ripped out of the book.

Is that the guy who was responsible for a good chunk of the Bible, or am I thinking of someone else?

(I'm a non-Christian and have some familiarity with certain parts of the Bible and no familiarity with other parts of it. *G*)

But at least it's good in theory.

That's half the problem, the big wide wicked world isn't nice.

St. Paul is kind of responsible for a lot of the New Testement after Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Mostly in the form of letters to people. I'd give you a list but the Bible that hangs around the computer room has gone missing. (Really need to explain that the computer is in the study and I don't carry a copy round with me ;) )

If I thought you were the type to carry a Bible around with you, you probably wouldn't be on my friends list. *g*
