Despite people and their devotion to various patron gods,
The great issue facing each one of us, Is it rising sea levels and freak weather caused by global warming? Is it depletion of the ozone layer, leading to dangerous exposure to the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays? Is it a population explosion, which compounds other global problems, such as poverty and crime, coronavirus pandemic? Or is it the prospect of the annihilation of untold millions in a nuclear war, with any holocaust survivors eventually dying in agony from cold, starvation, or radiation?
It seems to me that religious people are only happy when they're miserable, a strange way to choose how to live your life. I suspect that people like goodlife, theland and locusts, even when they get to their chosen heaven, will still find something to moan about.

That's condescendingly nice of you goodlife but if we ask a sensible question will we get a sensible answer?

Not really - political arguments are about something we can all see and hear, and know is real.
Not sure that political arguments necessarily are about something real, quite often they relate to belief systems - state ownership, individual freedom, rampant capitalist greed ;-)

True - but that was not in the post to which I responded.
Abstract political arguments are still based on circumstances, religious arguments are based on imagination.
If we take the government's handling of the pandemic, my perception of ABers comments is that Tory supporters think they've done an okay job in difficult circumstances while left-wingers think they have made a series of catastrophic errors.

That's probably true, and based on instinctive reaction rather than objective analysis.
There can be no evidence that a Labour government could have handled things any better, hindsight is a wonderful thing, never more so than when looking at political decisions.
I am sorry you are so Boring, But really, you don't do not know what you are missing.
The Bible is God’s revelation to man. It tells us how we got here and where we are going. How can that be boring?
You should go to your own church.
