Leaving aside the inaccuracy of these Polls, I think its incredible if any Christian doesn't believe in the resurrection. If they think it never happened, how on earth can they call themselves Christians ?

Isn't this a central plank of Christian belief ?

Shakes head in amazement !

Why should it appear any more unreasonable the bits they don't believe than the bits they do?

When us atheists ask quite simple questions about religious beliefs, why is that termed "ridiculing" ?

[tamborine]

This RC cherry picks the faith ie birth control, & feels no guilt. We dont wander deserts & so dont live by all tenets. Christianity evolves as with humanity. The core of 'loving your neighbor' remains to preserve all,

Hey have you noticed Mikey you ex-RC you !

( a sort of Paschal, eastertide, Passion Monday thought for you)

//Why do many of the nothings wish to be so disrespectful only to Christianity?//

Because the affiliated members are not threatening to behead or blow them up for doing so ??

PP, ever the obscurantist is saying, love your neighbour as you love yourself, - or words to that effect :0)

That a believer would refer to non-believers as 'nothings' says all you need to know about believers.

[woofgang]

garam....it may (although I doubt it) say all you need to know about that believer.....but if you believe that that one person speaks for all of us....then you are as misguided as that person.

[Garaman]

Woofgang, borrowing from Khando's grammar, believers spout what I call 'nonsense' and yet can't understand why many educated people are non-believers.

[woofgang]

Again please do not generalise. All believers are not the same, neither are non believers.

[Khandro]

garaman; If you have to fill in a box which asks what is your religion, do you write "none" or leave it blank, either way the word, nothing applies does it not?

[redvanman]

How can you believe in something that as not been proved all religions are for brainwashed people who have not got the brains to no it is all man-made
