Saint Billy

More Lord of the Rings than Harry Potter then. The book of Revelation is so spaced out that it has hundreds of different interpretations. Most seem to agree though that Armaggedon is when Jesus will rid the earth of all evilness using fire and earthquake etc ETC, you know, the normal doom and gloom stuff and not very encouraging for us sinners. Jehovah Witnesses lives are governed by their belief that the end is very soon and only they will survive as do some other religions but your standard religions tend not to place much emphasis on Revelations, probably because it reads as if it was written by someone on LSD and makes no sense at all.

So God gave Adam and Eve the choice between right and wrong, they chose the wrong path and were cast out of the Garden of Eden. Correct so far?. Then we come to Noah. God decided to wipe wickedness of the face of the earth by means of drowning mankind apart from Noah and his family and only a tiny proportion of all wild life was saved.After that God again allowed the world to go to sh*t again and here we are today. God doesn’t get many things right does he considering he is all powerful. Oh, and apparently he is going to do it all again come Armageddon. This is an ancient story which is less believable than Harry Potter. Today religion is a carrot to all those that are desperate to believe in something that offers hope and peace of mind, sad really as, just like billions of people before they will depart this earth disappointed that God never showed his face or proved his almightiness.

Where does Neanderthal man fit into the Bibles account of creation?

I liked Fonte but let's not forget that at the end of his time here his form had dropped substantially and it continued at West Ham. He was a great servant to saints and a great captain and how it ended was very sad but as a player his legs were going.

Vaccine or God to come to our aid with Covid 19?.

I'll be in the next cell.

Pretty much all TV adverts especially currently. How they all care for our wellbeing is truly sickening, Nationwide one of the worst.

I must admit I've seen enough of web cams. The daily briefings are also getting tedious. I think this all could impact TV in the future as more and more people turn to streaming rather than watch Loose Woman, antiques sh*te or Good Morning etc.

Bloody daytime TV.

Sad news, great keyboard sounds that were akin to great Stranglers tracks. Good to see the wolfpack didn't get to you.

Yep very good, probably the most violent series I have seen on tv but a good watch if you can stomach it.

Agree with that 100%, No wonder the world is f*cked up if he created us.

Wow, and you believe that?. The Nile turned to blood, the parting of the waves, frogs, bugs, pestilence, boils, storm of fire, locusts, three days of darkness and death of firstborn. You mention cherry picking bits out of the bible, well, this has been pretty much done by all so called Christian denominations since it was written to suite their own agendas. I was brought up as a Jehovah's Witness until I saw sense and was then kicked out. At the end of the day all religions are the same, pretty much reliant on a book written thousands of years ago but interpreting it all differently, but when questioned and struggling for answers it's the same old response "you've got to have faith". Well I have faith in evolution because it has shown more substantial evidence than the bible has ever done.

You only have to see how the Church of England was founded to realise how farcical religion is.

No neither was a religious war but Christian killed Christian, hardly God like was it.

In the great wars christians killed Christians, some in an act of genecide. Just one example.

I'!ll bite, How many countries claimed to be Christian in World War 1 & 2?.

To be fair, the Duck Rape part of the title made me think twice about looking in, now I have I'm off.

Oh Religious argument now, normal hyenas on here I see circling their prey.

Sorry for your loss duck, I have lost a member of the family too, never nice at any time but this virus is cutting life short at will which makes it even more difficult to deal with.

I understand that the need for protective clothing is unprecedented but it was unprecedented in other countries a good few weeks before the virus came here and all it needed was to start preparing and making these things in numbers then.

Holt and Haskell’s for me as I worked there as a kid.

The Waterfront pub not far from St Mary's, was great for live music in the 80's, Tokyo Joe, White Lies, The Strawberries, Kuba, Emotional Blackmail, Fresh etc.

The city centre parks use to be great for conkering. Margherita’s Pizza restaurant in its early days near the Gaumont, great food and brilliant atmosphere. The park near the pier watching the massive ships come in and go out. Kingsland market in St Marys. The swimming bars and barely being able to see after an hour or so due to the chlorine. Warming up in the warm water foot pools on the way back to the changing rooms and getting a verruca. Trying to bike ride up Lances hill. The smell of liniment when saints came onto the pitch at the Dell. Seeing human turds floating in the water at Weston shore whilst crabbing. Going on the Hythe ferry for a day out. Just a few of many silly little things I remember from time to time.
