i believe that if i am to believe " man is a creature of god" i am putting my trust in the wisdom of past ages.
i also believe many political leaders, pretend to believe in this acient wisdom because they reason the public will be more tolerant of there acts of aggression if it is believed they are acting with a higher powers approval.. anyway i have concluded that:- .
when acts of aggression are carried out by our governments people still like to believe our leaders have a higher authority's approval.. do you think my observation:.
I find it incomprehensible that our current Prime Mnister can make these type of statements:-
"Just as our language and culture is steeped in the bible, so to is our politics for human rights....." David Cameron.
Personally I have concluded that Thathcher, Blair, Brown, and Cameron are sincere when they talk about there beliefs. My question is therefore where has this faith come from?
I wonder if Public school has anything to do with it?
Any suggestions.....The Rebel?

The fact is that Thatcher, Blair, Brown and Cameron have all done God in their political rhetoric. In fact I was surprised when David Cameron our current prime minister, recently even drew on the bible for such justification.
So since Thatcher, Brittish prime ministers have sort to promote themselfs as Christian, and justify a closer relationship between politics and religion.
Is this because our Prime Ministers :-
A) Think the Brittish public like to believe they make important decisions with the approval of a higher authority?
or
B) They generally believe in a higher authority.
Personally I found it very scary when our current Prime Minister, recently drew on the bible to justify his relationship between politics,his faith and religion.

I also take on board " Coftys" point "nicolaou" but it is also worth researching that since Margaret Thatcher, Brittish Prime Ministers have increasingly started using religious language in their political rhetoric to justify their policies.
Our current Prime Minister, David Cameron, recently described Britain as a "Christian country" , and spoke about his personal beliefs " Jesus invented the big society 2000 years ago"

if so:-
B) What does it say about humankind?

and they were amazing, 8 years of my boy growing up captured on a few films i once made.. the past is of course not the only thing to look forward to, but as i watch these movies i see so many acts of love and so many perfect times that i had forgotten.. so my question is do you have " the greatest ( photos) or movies in your collection" that you may have neglected?
.
if so my xmas present to you is, take them out the drawer and dust the cobwebs away...... the rebel..
I am looking forward to capturing the look of disappointment on my boys face as he opens " Fifa 2006" .....of course I also have wrapped up for him " Fifa 2016".
Merry Xmas one and all, and hope to see you all next year.

" the opposite of knowledge is love".
the rebel.. i believe a poster named " cofty" once replied to my great thought " the opposite of knowlege is love" with the comment :-.
" bollocks" .
Cofty " Occassionally an assertion appears on the forum that is so egregious that it really doesn't deserve the time and energy to refute it"
In that case Cofty, I now feel confident I can proclaim myself on this forum as " the worlds greatest lover" in the knowledge that my comment is so egregious nobody will be bothered to refute it.
Merry Xmas everybody, and hope to find you all here in the New Year.

Shepherdless " But if someone responds with " BOLLOCKS " that is just pathetic"
The Rebel (A) ..........I think the " BOLLOCKS" comments are brilliant, I would even go so far to say.......funny.
Cofty is a brilliant poster, and whilst I don't always ( in fact rarely) agree with what he says, I think his use of the phrase " Bollocks" is often used without exaggeration, and entirely justified.....however the O.P of this thread was really about why everybody gets so offended about nothing these days?

Sir 82 :-
"I have no idea what the thought " the opposite of knowledge is love " is even trying to express.
The Rebel. ....great point and thought "Sir 82 " here is my answer:-
A) I believe religion, advertising, marketing, and a persons ego is " BOLLOCKS" . Yet to say a person can live with out " BOLLOCKS" is noncence, or should I say ." BOLLOCKS" ....this is what unites the athiest and believer....the evolution of what we once believed will I believe someday become " BOLLOCKS" ...

Je.Suis...thank you for your comment...in Coftys defence, I took the " Bollocks" comment as tongue in cheek.....my point was we have issues on this board about if God exists or if God does not exist....we have issues about abortion, ....we have issues about guns.....we have issues about ect, ect, ect, and I say it's all BOLLOCKS, because what matters is we are all escapees from the WATCHTOWER."

" THE OPPOSITE OF KNOWLEDGE IS LOVE"
The Rebel.
I believe a poster named " Cofty" once replied to my great thought " The opposite of knowlege is love" with the comment :-
" BOLLOCKS"
And the reality is I believe " Cofty" was right my thought was :-
" BOLLOCKS"
I am also sure the study of human knowledge will In the future ultimately discover we are "ALL" talking:-
"BOLLOCKS".
So l I believe we should all have a tolerant attitude to each other's:-
" BOLLOCKS"
Or at least my hope is that our " OUBITORY" regardless of belief, culture, or circumstance will say " Escaped the Watchtower" and its mind control, and manipulative language.... So I am glad I learnt tolerance and not to dislike so many that now hate me.
