I'm not religious though I come from a catholic background. You may not believe it nor practice it, but all too often people who are devout are scorned and ridiculed. Christians especially, are easy targets and there's no end to the abuse they often receive. I think this is wrong and inappropriate.

As a Christian, i do see the flaws in most "Christian" holidays/celebrations, and none really have anything to do with dates implied - Christmas = winter solstice Easter =equinox. I get these are pagan based holidays. But for me, my relationship with "God", for want of a better word, is personal. I don't believe in some big bearded guy floating in the sky, nor do I believe in the internal damnation of so called sinners.

Too many people judge "Christians", before actually engaging with them on what their beliefs are.

I hope no believers are celebrating such a twisted concept

I hope they are questioning the rationale of their belief

I sincerely hope non of them are blaming the sins of humanity and I certainly hope no extreme people who call themselves Christians are trying to blame homosexuality

I’m given to understand that even in the Catholic version the crucifixion was on Good Friday and the resurrection two days later on what we now call Easter Sunday.

Ash Wednesday is a much later add-on and is the start of Lent, some 40 days earlier.

I too come from a religious background (one where he was crucified on the Friday and raised on Sunday). Easter doesn't have much significance for me anymore, but I recognise that it's arguably the most important day of the year.

I have no time for the beliefs but I have empathy for the believers.

I always was taught that God was everywhere and adapted to circumstances.

The Romans (both before and after Christianity became official) adapted their beliefs to local festivals and beliefs to encourage assimilation.

Nope. There is no good reason to think that those old stories are true so I'll carry on with life as if they aren't.

The whole idea of substitutional human sacrifice is pretty abhorrent to me. All Jesus did is save us from himself (if he was God).

The god of the Bible is psychotic. If somebody does anything to upset him then they should die (even though they do no harm him, or usually to anybody else either). Doesn't that sound more like a dictator? Certainly he has anger management issues.

His (unwarranted) anger is so great it must be dished out, even to a different person to the one that he is angry with. But he loves us so much he's prepared to do it to himself to appease his own rage and save us from himself. How does that make any sense? In all of this, the problem is God, not me, so he damn well should have died for us if that's what he requires and he should stop being so smug about it. Rant over.

I'll be thinking about chocolate though.

But like most religious people you'll believe what you choose to

What I don't understand is why they expect not to be judged for their beliefs. We make decisions about people by what they believe all the time. It's unrealistic to say that people can believe whatever they like and not expect others to judge them on it

Looking at this thread makes us wonder why can't people accept that others have different beliefs to others.

We have seen lots of non-believers mock believers, yet believers do not mock back.

Why is that??

I have no religion at all, but people can choose their own beliefs, religions, moralities call them what you wish.

I respect each and everyone, but do not share them; I think all the OP asked was were we thinking of Jesus; my simple answer is NO; and there is no need for rants and vitriol over whether Jesus existed or not, or whether the bible is fact or fiction; those who believe will believe and those who don't will continue not too; neither faction should try to convert the other, especially not on Fab ….

The 'Jesus story' is a myth as are all Abrahamic religions. I despise the fact that people who claim to be of faith expect or demand that I give them respect any more than I would give respect to'flat earthers', pixies in the garden, elfs, unicorns Pegasus and Zeus et al. Why should I respect iron age myths and dogmas that are not relevant today? Some of these deluded people thought that volcanoes, earthquakes and the like were god showing ire for our sins. This was before all was explained by science and plate technotics. Yet, we have bishops still extolling this iron age wisdom in 2007

"The Rt Rev Graham Dow, Bishop of Carlisle, argued that the floods are not just a result of a lack of respect for the planet, but also a judgment on society's moral decadence." He was not alone...and these idiots are on our legislative bodies!

Let's not forget that the god of the bible commanded genocide and ordered a man to gut his son, to take slaves...that does not sound like a religion deserving respect to me and it is certainly not a loving god.

I would be very grateful if those who believe in this utter, wicked nonsense would keep it to themselves.

I'm not disagreeing that religion (or at least the more extreme aspects) has been the source of much trouble around the world. It was the point about Jesus being a real person. I think those on the wrong end of the Crusades may differ about Christianity being more benign, although without doubt that's more true nowadays.

I'd like to make clear

For most religions there is something called the doctrine

So for example in christianity their could be Roman catholic

And their can be Christadelphians

Amongst a vast number of sckisms

If a person declares themselves as a specific sect we could be forgiven in deducing we know a little about what they think on a topic if they adhere to that particular doctrine

Same would go for Islam and Judaism

However

With christianity most who declare their allegiance do not particularly follow any one doctrine and many quite rightly fill in their own gaps to be happy

If I throw scorn or harsh criticism it will always be directed at a particular part of a particular doctrine dont follow that bit then why take it personally

I'll re iterate

There are Christians and islamists who are now declaring cov-sars2 Is the direct result of homosexuality

I feel that specifically deserved criticism and scorn

If you do not hold such views dont take offense at the critique ?

Generalizing about Christians or muslims Jews or Hindus is foolish and futile

Being specific about concepts is rational and objective

The problem with this position is that this is also just a belief. Even Professor Richard Dawkins, the arch atheist, once said that in his heart he held your position but in his head he could only justify being agnostic because of the lack of evidence either way.

In fact just look at Africa now and see how the Roman catholic teachings on contraception has lead to the deaths of millions people from Aids.

Yeah, but as have stated, think this comes down to organised religion. And in my honest opinion, any violence done toward another human being in the name of a religion, has themselves, some deep rooted problems or taken texts wrong way.

I've never read the bible (King James version) and thought to myself, all these non Christian people need smited with gods wroth... Or indeed, take into my own hands and dole out judgement and persecution.

And if you don’t believe in god why is that ? Is it because u have had what you said above Happen in your life ?

When "bad things happen" there is almost always a reason behind it, a cause. Be it an earthquake that causes a tsunami or a road traffic accident caused by a d*unk or a defective vehicle. My point is IF there was a god why would he let his "children" suffer.

As for the "bad things" that have happened in my life, they haven't happened because I'm an atheist or a bad person, I've actually saved the lives of FIVE suicidal people & killed one (the joys of being a train driver).

At the end of the day shit happens and a non existent god isn't going to prevent it or save us. Stay safe.

However I hope we can distinguish between criticising someone personally for holding a belief ( mostly unacceptable )

No he isn't. Jesus was buried in the tomb on Ash Wednesday, spent three nights in there and rose on Saturday.

Utter nonsense. Ash Wednesday was weeks ago (It's the day after Shrove Tuesday - more commonly known as Pancake day)

Ash Wednesday is the beginning of lent.

He was crucified on the Friday. That is why we have Good Friday."

You should of stopped at - 'utter nonsense'.

Why does it matter what anyone else believes or doesn't if it doesn't have any impact on your life?

I think you will find women have been stoned to death and gay men slaughtered by "things people believe "

Quite a large impact dont you think

But the so called holy books aren't taken out of context

Read the old testament and you'll see that God commands his followers to commit the most horrific acts "

I don't follow old testament, think I made that clear when stated reading King James version..

All we can do right now is be kind, be responsible and do no harm. "

Just to be clear ABSOLUTELY, NO RELIGION OR BELIEF will EVER stop ANY disaster, manmade or otherwise. I'm "angry" because of people that try to preach to/or convert people. And don't even get me started on the subject of Jehovah's witnesses (child killing scum). When I sat next to my wife's hospice bed for a week watching her life ebb away and having her beg me to let her die, I wasn't angry with a "god" that didn't exist. And I am most certainly NOT living in fear or confusion.

Stay safe.

No. Not religious at all. If such things did exist why would so many bad things happen in the world. (Rhetorical question btw won't change my mind or be convinced otherwise lol).

"No it's all load of bollox"

We often wonder why it's acceptable to slate Christians and our beliefs, but not Islam - is it because such people are too scared to upset Muslims bit think is Christians will just turn the other cheek?

It certainly helps us fill our block list!

The Problem of Pain by CS Lewis is an interesting read for that question.

I think this thread should not be on a site like this as everyone has various opinions beliefs and talking about religion etc on a sex site ??? Surely someone who believes in somthing will take offence to someone’s comments..

I agree totally , there are comments that I and other Christians find dis tasteful

I will never understand why people find humour in mocking other peoples beleifs

If you don't agree with them just ignore them, no need to mock and try to be funny

But I agree these kind of posts should not be on here
