Told you

[fdc]

This is obvious trolling, however:

Jesus had no problem with drinking, celebration, music or healing herbs. What would jesus do? He'd go to glastonbury, you'd find him in the healing fields

[dibbul]

What a fascinating thread- I've thoroughly enjoyed reading all of it

wwjd you are awsome.......

.....awesomely mental !

Btw there isn't a Father Christmas either. Sorry.

Well thats disappointing. I thought that for a troll they were really putting the effort in. But no, just copy and paste.

[anoldhippie@60]

These are not the thoughts of a mad "God botherer", it is a Bishop saying these things, Bishops know a lot about this sort of thing. I am merely passing on his wisdom. My late husband attended Glastonbury many times and I know in the early years he took drugs and succumbed to the flesh (before we met). He last attended Glastonbury in 2007, he was taken one week after his return. He was only 59. Whilst you may not think you live a decadent lifestyle and music isn't bad per se, I myself am fond of Lena Martell and Foster and Allen, a lot of trouble does follow it around.

It's too late for my husband to repent, it's not too late for you.

I am sorry I find your comments offensive. Do not preach to me about Bishops know a lot. Condemning people who are just going to go and enjoy themselves. I can not believe what you said about your husband being to late to repent. He might not have wanted to, he might have been HAPPY. How you can believe what you are told by the Bishops and clergy when they are being arrested for child abuse. They and you have no right to tell us how to live. As long as we do no harm to each other or other living things on this planet then we should be able to live as we want . Rant over Love and Peace to you.

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want

He maketh me to lie down in green pasture,

He leadeth me beside still waters, he restoreth my soul.

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his namesake

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

I fear no evil, for thou art with me.

Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies.

Thou anointest my head with oil, my cup runneth over

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,

And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

I don't have a problem with a god type figure. I do have a problem with religion controlling and making millions of people's lives utter hell on earth, and I do have a problem with idiots like you parroting what you've been brainwashed into thinking.

[fdc]

Can't believe people are taking this guy seriously.

[ampersand]

You could also add all the needless wars that have taken place over the years in the names of various Gods that have costs thousands of lives and the sort of idiotic beliefs that some have in their religion that makes them strap a bag of explosives onto their backs and board a tube train believing they will be rewarded on the other side.

[CrispyRed]

if there was no religion, people would just find another reason to do all this shit.

[ampersand]

Exactly. I don't have a problem with the idea of God as such and I certainly wouldn't describe myself as athiest. Its the way religions are abused and manipulated that puts me off.

[sifi]

but for every person that abuses religion, there's hundreds that don't. you don't hate beer cos people abuse that do you?

aah right, i see where you're coming from.

[ampersand]

They propogate the lie. They keep it going. The question was why are athiests bothered about what other religious people think - the problem is that what these people think result in misery for many many more.

[Gnomicide]

Using the title "Told You" and trying to use this as evidence that going to Glastonbury was going to condemn us all to eternal damnation was you though wasn't it?

[anoldhippie@60]

someone earlier in the thread was on about not generalising about groups of people. can this go across the board please

[anoldhippie@60]

"Told you" was a follow up to my previous post about Bono. Glastonbury, and similar festivals, are quite obviously places of decadance and debauchery. That appears to be the attraction for a lot of people.

It's because I have a love and affection for you people (my husband was one) that I am drawing your attention to the downfalls. Even if you, as many of you are, are decent people, by attending you are facilitating the continuation of sin.

Watch this clip and pay particular attention to the last sentence.

[ampersand]

Hi, I was not generalising. I just took it that people knew that not all Bishops or any other clergy were the same. I just did not like her attitude that we are all sinners and should repent. If she wants to fine.

[anoldhippie@60]

cool. just tends to be the way that everyone does generalise about them these days.
