I thought Pentecost was another supermarket chain....like Lidl or Locost.

Indoctrination into cults is not a laughing matter.

Nothing worse than a zealous atheist.

apart from overly zealous religious types who try and mask the flaws of their belief system with happy-clappy.

I used to be happy clappy.

Now, oddly as an atheist, I can still speak in tongues. Guess it wasn't the spirit of god afterall. Doh..

Seems no matter *what* an atheist puts down they are accused of being zealous.

You forgot the word 'shrill'. You lose a point for that you know.

You could be about to be "drawn in". Have you checked the potential side effects of digoxin? "rarely, a propensity to have religious thoughts; possibly manifesting in setting down to watch SoP with a nice cup of tea and a French fancy. "

I used to think Pentecostal churches were a nice happy, fun brand of christianity - but it's actually quite sinister imo.

If their first word is delusion, then i think its a fair comment.

Religious terrorism [ many varieties and flavour over history]
May still be accurate to call them delusional especially if god does not exist. Even if god does exist as they mainly believe in only one god and their then the majority of religious types are wrong and therefore delusional FACT

People’s attachments to imaginary Gods and the flagrantly irrational are diminishing in this country and as a consequence we are seeing significant falls in church attendance. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for other parts of the world across the various denominations. Those young people ton is referring to are no doubt the dwindling products of parental indoctrination – hopefully they will avail themselves of the scientific and philosophical advances made since the first century, outside the purview of their parents, and transcend religious bewilderment.

The word atheist shouldn’t really need to exist. We don’t have names for people that doubt the Mad Hatter’s tea party was an historical event or that Elvis is still alive.

Some people are into religion, others not. Different people liking different things shocker, thank **** we're not all the same. After all a bit of religion to cleanse the soul is good, no? And after all you all are, you are souls
Hardly worth comment, is it. 🙄

Darn it did I miss the gay bashing, n********er bashing, Muslim bashing, lefty bashing, long haired lentil eating layabout bashing thread as well?

Heck seems like bashing religious types is the last bastion of the good ol' intolerant, 'you aint like me so I'm goona lynch you from a tree mutha f**a' good ol boys Klan.

Y'all must be so proud of your hypocrisy.

Hehe.. maybe after you've grown up for another 20 years or so you'll realise how massively ironic this is 🙂

Stage 1 - wtf is going on?
Stage 2 - all this must've been created by some crazy magical being
Stage 3 - everyone knows about the magic being, let's all worship it
Stage 4 - hold on, it's not magic at all, but science
Stage 5 - hahaha, look at all those magic believers
Stage 6 - actually, when you think about it a bit, truth a very fluid concept and all points of view are equally valid logically speaking

You're only at stage 5, whilst claiming to be really clever 🙂
