    A religion history lesson needed

    The human psychology makes some people more vehement about what they believe to be correct and those types will go the extra mile to persuade you that what they say is correct. In the same way that car owners believe their brand is better than another's. Religion seems to have the effect of...

    A religion history lesson needed

    Is the whole thing much simpler.................what has been written down is mostly accounts of things that are secondhand or subject to embellishment or forgotten/ misunderstood / manipulated historical accounts. The whole thing relies on us to have blind faith, therefore there is no need...

    Being self employed n trying not to give generously to the taxman

    My little son in law is an apprentice plumber, I told him to keep all his receipts for his tools to claim off against his tax. He's just done his tax return but he's hardly paid any tax cos he's on rubbish money. This current year he's on better money, can he use his last year's tool receipts to...

    I'm not really much of a religious fella, but I like the thought of Jesus, God n living a correct life, but I have no idea who wrote the new testament, why did we need a new one? and who wrote the old one?

    A religion history lesson needed

    As we all know, Jesus was a great bloke, wandering round doing really good things, but I don't remember him saying 'what we're gonna do is set up a big ol' HQ in Italy n call it the Vatican'........so how did that happen?

    Fireproofing a stud wall

    I have robbed half of my garage to make a downstairs loo. I will screw up 15mm fireline plasterboard to this (on the garage side), does this also have to be plastered to comply? or if I use two layers of 12mm fireline plasterboard can I forget the need to plaster?
