Ending inequality in UK

[Bodd]

Although a non believer, about 15 years ago I got caught in a force 7 sailing from Barmouth to Aberystwyth and convinced I was going to Die, I did say a little prayer, I think I was hedging my bets, just in case like.

Your here so it must have worked.

Back to equality and religion.

My junior school had regular collection for the poor starving children in Africa, ,envelopes were handed out to all the children to take home and fill with money. We were told every penny would help feed a starving child.

Susie, aged 7 had been with her parents to Rome to see the Pope during the summer holiday. Susie suggested to the teacher handing out the envelopes that the Pope should have one, after all he had more than enough money to save all the starving children.

Susie got a clip on the ear for her insolent remark.......


( that helped me to become a non believer when it came to God )

Nope, not much help.

And it was written to define what a "Christian" believes. If you can recite it truthfully, you can call yourself a Christian.

A person can behave decently and humanely without being a Christian, or badly and inhumanely while claiming to be, so membership of the club and your behaviour do not go together.

Pleased to see that the current Pope tries to take his duties more seriously, and has rejected the jewellery, gold embroidery, hand-made ruby slippers ornamented with gold, and luxury cars of his predecessor.

Benedict XVI was a great enthusiast for dressing up in finery, even when it had previously been put aside.
"restoring long-lost hats and capes and adding a bold touch of color."

Mark 10:45-45 is of interest.

I hear he is battling ineffectually against what some call "the Vatican Mafia."

Some people believe that the Pope is the Anti Christ.
