Britain isn't Thor and Woden besotted anymore, it is now a Catholic country.

Oh No! Blackie won't be able to sleep tonight.
People are always incredulous when i tell them my British father was a catholic. Most people seem to assume the Brits drove the papists out of England like St. Patty drove the snakes out of Ireland.
You really haven't been paying attention, there Blackie. I have said consistently that the Koran was plagiarized from the OT. I have been consistent in saying that all religion is dangerous because it tends to breed intolerant bigots like you. And I have consistently maintained that I am not an atheist.
What were you saying about brain dead?
The Pope Francis tells them to; it is called "Fatherhood by Proxy" by the devout.
PS to Blackleaf
Thanks to the Ineffable (You know who She is), the Protestant experiment in Britain is over with its beheadings, drawings-and-quarterings, burnings-at-the-stake, towerings, and warish mayhem.
As to deference to Islam...Pffft! No sane one among us believes that Moe was carried off to heaven on a winged horse any more than your guardian angel is Jewish (The saints be praised!).
PPS
Christians are pacifistic, Blackleaf. No more Empire or empire envy (That is an American trait now).
That would be you and Gerry.
Try again, I'm not the one telling you that you are brain dead for what you believe in, or that your life is based on fairy tales. That would be people like you.
not all atheists are in this thread, but okay, you answered my question in a round about way.
Bull****. The Church of England is England's officially established Church. There are 25 million baptised Anglicans in England and Wales, and several million more people of other Protestant denominations throughout the UK as a whole.
In contrast, there are just five million Catholics in the UK, and almost all of them are in England. Muslims number just three million, and all other religions barely register at all.
And talking about executions, the monarch who executed most people purely because of their faith was Mary I, a CATHOLIC monarch who executed over 200 people in just five years purely because they were Protestants.
You say that on a discussion forum. But I'd love to see you say that to a large crowd of people in Pakistan or Iran. You wouldn't have the guts.
Thank Christ, I am in a secular (quasi) democracy. Thinking of emigrating, Blackleaf?
My rare contribution to religious threads on this Conservative forum was "Let's Bring Back the Old Gods" which was quashed by the Old Believers. Pity...
In Britain (Your polls not mine), only 1% of Anglicans in Britain attend mass. Being baptised doth not a believer make (on a Polish sipping cup).
No. I'd prefer to live in a Protestant country than a "secular" one.
That doesn't mean only 1% of Anglicans are believers and the rest have no faith. They just don't go to church.
If the C of E made going to a C of E church service much more appealing, the numbers attending church in this country would shoot up.
When I am in Britain, I like going to former parish churches now converted to pubs. The cider insider says insidious?
The only thing worse than changing a church into a pub is when they turn a pub into a mosque.
What is it with self proclaimed atheists and their damned obsession with religion, with their primary obsession the Christian religion. all other religions barely get a passing remark, once in a while.
I have coffee with three other fellas two or three times a week, two of them, Knights of Columbus members, and religion, never, and I mean never comes up.
I go meet for lunch every Tuesday with a bunch dozen, or so retirees and one is a retired priest.....and the subject of religion never comes up.
But say Merry Christmas in this forum and the atheists come out of the woodwork with their endless disparaging remarks.
Gawd they gotta be the easiest turkeys to bait, and they'll be all over this post like ants at a picnic.
It's a psychological disorder, I tell ya
