Religion and Spirituality

I know this is a contentious issue, but I wnat to talk about it anyway and I hope people can be respectful to the beliefs of others. 

It seems to me that although we in the UK are called a Christian country, we're not, most people don't attend church, many are nominally Christian, church for hatchings, matchings and despatchings, maybe xmas and easter too. Many will attend church to get their children into a high performing church school. Our main bank holidays focus on a Christian festival calendar, Easter, Pentecost, Xmas etc, but I wonder if we should add the holy days of other faiths, like EId, Diwali, the Solticies?

We have so many faiths in this country and many people who don't identify with any particular faith, but are broadly believers in something.

I'd like to see bishops removed from the House of Lords and the Church of England disestablished, in a multifath society I don't see what their place is in the giovernance of the country, I think you either have to have representatives of all faiths or none and seeing as many faiths don't have an episcopal system I don't see how it would work where the representatives come from and which community would they be representing? I think the same is true of the current situation and bishops, there are many Christian sects that do not recognise and episcopal system.

  • I support the full restoration of the High Anglican Church, enforced conformism and Anglican Blasphemy laws. I also want the full restoration of the Aristocratic High State, ending of democracy/Liberalism/Secularism and Multi-faithism. I wouldn't go as far to support the restoration of the Penal laws however. I am totally the oppose of most people in society and most people don't even know what a High Church Anglican is. I feel if more people know that restoration of the old ways was an option it would get more support. Sadly there is no actual debate or knowledge about these things. Even though it built this society and made it hyper functional, which is being eroded by Liberalism and the interventionist low state, to sweep away the Aristocratic, Aristotle, classical education based High State. State enforced multi-faithism is a huge example of this.

    Interesting and well expressed post. I was surprised myself recently when I looked it up and saw that blasphemy laws have ended in the UK. I was impressed in other areas though Project Violet the Met police are really taking a stand against religious abuse. Saying this to in modern times religious abuse was enshrined in UN law, so an up and down slide a bit, one balancing each other out.

    I don't think that spirituality is decreasing and by stats I recall in three sources spirituality did not appear to be decreased, Pew research, statstia and national statistics. Also, spirituality and church going in some areas particularly the 18-24 has been in a quiet revival in the UK.

    If you do attend church, try and keep the focus on you and Jesus as that is the main focus we should have, and less focus on the church building and minor differences.

    Commenting on your other post to-with end times we expect degration to the world. how much can we stop this or is to be expected. Me, I just try and do what I can now.

    perhaps ironically, as a liberal minded advocate of human rights I support your right to do so...
