So its ok for one person to say another is stupid but when it is reciprocated (i know its a big word and Colin will have to look it up in his dictionary along with his encyclopaedia) bet he couldn't spell that , it is not okay. Because I am new and everyone knows Colin he is revered. The common thought now is that religion (or belief in religion) is a mental illness. Who quoted that Colin?
Pause whilst the pages rustle............ anyone in?

He could be dyslexic .

PS I don't think a person's intelligence should be measured by their spelling ability. Even Shakespeare made spelling mistakes.

Hi Colin :-)

I seem lately to disagree a lot with many of your views on a few threads that you have posted or at least the way you have argued them.

I have to agree with Karrie to a degree in that I think your view or implication (not you) that people are stupid who do not share the same opinion as you comes across as arrogant (my words not hers)

However, what I do want to thank you for is the lively debates that you have generated :-) Thank you!!!!.

Also re Jerusalem being banned. Personally I don't think it should have been if people were playing it for private memorials.

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green
And was the holy lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen

And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark Satanic mills

Bring me my bow of burning gold
Bring me my arrows of desire
Bring me my spears o'clouds unfold
Bring me my chariot of fire

I will not cease from mental fight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
'Til we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land
'Til we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land

Sorry but you've all lost me, I haven't a clue what you're on about! :-)

Colin, have just returned and have discovered the interesting responses that have taken place. I would like to say Karrie you seem a very level headed person who can live and let live although views may be different. That is what is important in this life, and the world would be a better place if more people were like it. Also the others that have said similar, thanks for the support. Its not that you disagree with me colin but the fact that you said I was too stupid to have a 'conversation' with. I was also born and bred in the country and have seen animals being born but I have a different view. It would also be a very boring life if we all thought the same.
On a different topic altogether Colin, maybe you should have a few spelling lessons, I mean that in the nicest possible way, that way you wouldn't look stupid in front of others, unlike me. Sue

Subtly put Boyooo--

What i meant was, i might be a dumbo from the country, straw in the mouth and all that. but when
i behold the heavens and the clock work order of the heavens. See time , timing, spring summer Autumn
winter. Everything moves with the seanons and by timeley order.See how animals accept life and death
while Humans want to live for ever--be for ever young
so when the bible says god put time indefinate in
heart of man, I see proofe everywhere for creation.
And if a cab driver from New york tried tell me
how to Lamb a difficult Ewe and he had never seen sheep in his life. My attitude toward him would be
as same as that toward Evolution.
I personelly refuse to discuss it with any one who
claims scientific knowlege and tries to sell me
on Evolution, they are insulting my intellegence, thats
what i was saying, as so rightly pointed out by our
esteemable Wizard

As I read it Colin stated,Quote,Such people are too stupid to hold a conversation on my level of intelligence. How do people know What level of "Intelligence" Colin Has?.Could be debatable,If you don,t Know, how can you define it?.**M**.:o)>.

There is nothing wrong with having a different view on any subject.. I dont actually agree with your views on evolution Colin, but i consider myself intelligent enough to have a sensible conversation about it.

We will still disagree but i wont think that you are stupid..lol

"Colin I think has just aired his view and like you say Karrie everyone has that right"

No. He aired his view and then added (to paraphrase) those who disagree with him are stupid. That's something quite different.

I just dont think that people with different views than ouselves are stupid lol

Colin I think has just aired his view and like you say Karrie everyone has that right

That doesnt seem to be a very compassionate comment Colin 'then all i can say is
such people are too stupid to hold a conversation
on my level of intelligence'.

Everyone is entitled to their own views, even if they are not the same as yours.. thats what makes the world go

Astuteley put--L O M L

"Jerusalum" happens to be one of my favorite songs.

I also very much like William Blakes art work.

I'm not a Church goer so have never sung it in Church

I will however continue to sing it loudly especially when walking upon Englands green and pleasent lands............if it hasn't all been covered with new houseing that nobody can afford to buy...........lol

It may interest both you and Richard Dawkins
that man was made in gods immage, which simpley
means, like god we know and practice attributes
love-mercy-kindness -etc
In the case of those people who preach evolution
ime just an owde country lad with muck on me
boots--but when yown syn animals being born
and tell me its evolution--then all i can say is
such people are too stupid to hold a conversation
on my level of intelligence.

Sorry colin have just re read what I put and it should have said hard to believe.I think its a load of rubbish.

the Trinity doctorine came from a group of clergy
who met for a council on christain beliefes and
decided upon a Trinity.
But the doctrines had al'ready been established
by Constantine Emperor o Rome and those
who refuted the changes he wished to make--
simpley graced the road into Rome, hung on
crosses--so bible truth fell into Darkess and
the Darkness grew darker under the popes------
like Islam Christendom was founded by a man.
But the Living God kept a thin line of true
and faithfull worshipers fed on spiritual food
which in this day has become many, they have
taken hold of the skirt of a jew.
does that answer you Victoria

colin

Religion is just another way of having control over peoples lives and its totally irrelevant whether Jerusalem is banned or not. Also, its possible to have compassion and forgiveness without it.Religion, that is not Jerusalem. Thank 'God' for Richard Dawkins
