Islam, Christianity Or Atheism?
211 Answers
With the UK heading towards being a Muslim country by 2050 (probably before). Which of these alternatives would you prefer to live under?
The choice though, as things stand, appears to be hypothetical, I'm afraid.

And what makes you think an atheist would? //
He means me again - because he loves to take his priggish self-righteousness and use it to make a snap judgement about a situation about which he knows nothing except the bare bones I illustrated once to make a point in a post.
Retrocop's memory for my posts from years ago is simultaneously both flattering and scary - his man-love has to show itself from time to time, he can't help it.

Mamya - // To be fair Andy, the majority of responses have not been as vindictive as the one you quote above, which was so thinly veiled as to be almost laughable. //
I take your point - I simply respond to the attack as I see fit, and if faith is collateral damage, so be it. I am sure Christianity is big enough to absorb it.

//To feel that you are belonging to a Christian tradition with its history, art, architecture, literature & music is quite different from eschewing it all & saying you are an atheist//
Khandro, I do belong to a Christian tradition and, although given years of research and therefore valid justification in rejecting the tenets of that religion, I do appreciate the art, the architecture, history, the literature, the music, but most of all I appreciate my country, its tradition and its heritage - my heritage - and that I would fight the world for. I don’t need to tell myself that a magic man in the sky exists to appreciate that. Those who don't appreciate what they have need to think about what they want ..... and really think.

I was answering to ummm. She says that that those who have a christian faith have been accused of mental problems on this site. I don't know who wish to declare that but please say it to my face.
I don't proclaim my faith on this site and I don't sneer and put down people who believe in a god unlike Andy Hughes who will decry people in believing in their 'so called God'.
Mr Hughes will defend Islam even though it is their adherents who continuously do us the most harm. He, being a self proclaimed atheist, does not impress me with his family values either.
Unlike Mr Hughes I do not continually put down Theland or others who follow their faith. To answer the OP I will follow Christianity first, atheism second and Islam does not even come into my consideration.

Don't flatter yourself . No man would throw a young vulnerable daughter out on the street to fend for herself. My values would not allow me to consider doing that.Thank god I am not proud to profess myself an atheist. What is your justification if any?

I am a Christian because I believe the evidence for it.
Also, after becoming a Christian, something happens.
It changed me.
I am very far from perfect, but I aspire to be more Christlike, and in various situations, the answer always comes by simply asking myself what would God have me do?
Sadly, I often fail to reach the standards I aspire to, but yes, Christianity for me.
