Seven Towers
The fact is both are here, the verse I quoted ends with "equipped for every good work" a policy of negative, negative is much the same as burying one head in the sand whilst others choose action, the whip may well dissapear in time through a modern trend of forget education and close doors policy.<br>Religion will never go away, people use and abuse the Bible to further their own means, this doesn’t make the Bible wrong, its the PEOPLE who are wrong.<br>If religion did not exist, then another belief system would take its place.
I agree that if religion didn’t exist other belief systems take their place, you can see this happening in society around the world already, some people devote themselves to charitable work, sport, shopping, TV etc. this doesn’t support the existence of God just that man has a need for some sort of order, and ritual in their lives, a need to devote themselves to something or anything. <br> History is littered with Gods that humans have devoted themselves to and forgotten, maybe one day the Christian God will be consigned to the "Old God’s Home" along with Ra, Zeus and Odin.
Dickens said, ‘There is no such thing as Good or Evil, only the mind makes it so.’ I don’t agree with this, the Laws laid down by God tell us what is Good and what is Evil, we all know this is true .. and we all know that this is true, without knowing why we know this is true and this knowing to me is what is God.
Seven Towers, history is littered with false Gods.
dave jay<br>My belief is that all God’s are false. The past is littered with them and the future will be littered with them too, some that have not even been dreamed up yet.
Jilly the worst thing about drinking red wine,<br> before or in bed,<br> is waking up next to an :old: uglee you barely remember.<br> Cocoa may wake you up with a pair of black smackers<br> but the bible beside you will be snoozing intacta,<br> letting out little whimpers of reverence<br> as it turns itself over and rests open<br> most probably<br> at a passage describing the immaculate conception.
I had the unpleasant experience of watching the Waco<br> documentary. <br> A menace show earlier in the week.<br> The whips were certainly picked up<br> and raised by both opposing sides,<br> each fully believing their righteousness.<br> The wrath that ensued<br> smelled of burned oil and the devil,<br> and my cocoa that night<br> congealed into a festering mess of wight and wong.<br> <br> <br> <br>
I read with interest that Robert Mugabe, amateur moustache grower and part-time homicidal dictator has said that only God will be able to remove him from office.
Now I’m not a religious man and I realise that the Almighty gets a bit of a bad press these days, what with various nutters invoking his/her name to justify their latest act of gratuitous violence.
However, it seems to me that an awful lot of good PR would accrue to the Supreme Being if they were to come out of retirement this weekend and dabble in a little regime change. I’m thinking of a plague of Zanu-PF boils for starters, perhaps a swarm or two of locusts down the Presidential trousers and if absolutely necessary, a well-aimed lightning bolt.
I was thinking about Mugabe tonight after watching the news and I was wondering, is he a typical black African leader?
God wont intervene though, God seems to favour the evil when it comes to longevity.
“I was thinking about Mugabe tonight after watching the news and I was wondering, is he a typical black African leader? “
er, no he’s not.
The name ‘Mugabe’ backwoods is the Yorkshire colloquialism ‘e-ba-gum’.
Er yes, Africa, blah, blah, blah.
“I was thinking about Mugabe tonight after watching the news and I was wondering, is he a typical black African leader? “
er, no he’s not.
Er, like I think you’ll find he is .. actually, like totally.
Actually his name backwards is an advert for a type of strong mint that you would see advertized on Yorkshire TV
E ba gum Trebor
Dave – while I agree that Mugabe may epitomise the grossest excesses of some of what goes on in that continent he is not ‘typical’.
he’s not typical but he’s not unique
news quote today :
However, there are already signs that the region may refuse to accept a Mugabe presidency.
Levy Mwanawasa, the Zambian president and current chairman of the Southern African Development Community (SADC), told a news conference that it was "scandalous for SADC to remain silent on Zimbabwe".
"It will be bad if the majority of [SADC] leaders don’t agree with me," he said. "What is happening in Zimbabwe is embarrassing to all of us."
I don’t think we’ll end up going into zimbabwe ever, and its not just because Bananas arent worth the same as oil.
The americans showed in Vietnam that jungle warfare, is one of the hardest types of warfare both on troops and on resources. It takes a hell of a lot of training to properly adapt to what would be a jungle guerilla campaign, not to mention issues such as acclimitisation etc, which the indigenous population has no problem with.
One thing is clear from the press reports, that wheras mugabe is definitely in the wrong, he does have a massive support which have so far, and would no doubt continue to, put up resistance to any attempts to overthrow him.
Of the worlds military superpowers China has no interest, Israel are maxed out maintaining security in their own country, Russia are skint, and Britain and America are maxed out engaging in arguably less noble conflicts.
Hard to think of any other countrys that would be willing to go in there, and with most of the bigger countrys in NATO and the UN being certainly unwilling to send large troop numbers into a war which would be all cost and no gain, I honestly cant see the current situation of "lets just threaten every once in a while whilst his genocide continues" coming to an end in the near future.
The bloke was obviously insane when he started forcing out the white farmers who were massive part of the Zimbabwean economy, and then welcoming food sanctions, and refusing Foreign Aid whilst his people starved. He shouldnt have been in power for years now and he is just reveling in the fact that the world will do nothing to stop him.
Sadly, the people of Zimbabwe will probably have to overthrow him themselves.
