Not really, as this lot are willingly accepting convicted paedophiles, sex offenders, and violent criminals into their ‘church’, in order to atone them of their sins....and also hence build their numbers and support with the outcasts and ‘vulnerable’ of civilised society, who no one else wants to know. Any of the aforementioned going into schools to teach my kid, and I’d be somewhat vexed/would at least try and knock seven bells of shite out of them.

But you are happy for a religion known for it’s abuse of children to teach your children? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your suspicions are unfounded.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not especially, but then I’ve never stated that? I believe that my child should grow up believing in correct, just and right morals and ethics, no matter the religion. If that is taught via Buddhists, Muslims, or Christians, it matters not to me. My point was (and I suspect you know this and have glossed over it in order to prolong the ‘discussion’), this PARTICULAR ‘church’ on the IOM are known to particularly welcome the dregs of society. Unlike other churches. Which particular religion are you referring to in your statement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if a cult is incompatible with our society and many if not all the ethics and morality are fine by the standards of that cult but not by those that form the basis of our society is that still fine? I say categorically not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with it's track record of abuse and priest cover ups, the catholic church can hardly be classed as anything but unsavoury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The magdalene laundries and the awfully abuses and worse, the events that took place at St. Joseph’s Orphanage in Burlington, Vermont being one of more than just one, and much more damage to the minds of kids and people. But then, the Roman Catholic church isn't Christian. Me? i converted to become a Hard Atheist many years ago. If pushed to join any church it would be the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. At least Pastafarians get a six course meal at their Eucharist with a choice of red or white wine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a business, I refuse to even think of it as a church let alone refer to it as such, that those of us with a higher IQ than our age find disgusting not least for claims being made that it is Christian when it is demonstratably obvious that it is anything but. Further it's quoted values and objectives are appalling and it benefits from our tax laws and being registered as a charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must start with a offering to His Noodliest. Start by obtaining the following :- 2 tbsp olive oil 400g/14oz beef mince 1 onion, diced 2 garlic cloves, chopped 100g/3½oz carrot, grated 2 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes 400ml/14fl oz stock (made from stock cube. Ideally beef, but any will do) 400g/14oz dried spaghetti salt and pepper (Check back on how to avoid turning them into a burnt offering) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This appears to be the official website for the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. For a mere $25 (inc p&p) you can be ordained a minister, which probably a cheaper option than Living Hope. And less likely to have you end up in the Courts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
