Watched the 78 European cup final when it was our wedding anniversary, funnily enough wifey didn’t want to come along. (Good trip with the bus full from the 1500 club and the boot full of beer)
I’m pretty fair though I do allow her to have claim to new years eve and where we go to, hopefully not to far so I can get back to go to footy.

But that was a Liverpool victory in 78.

Just for clarification, I have never tried to evangelize any one on this site.
I will occasionally defend my position against those who would attack it.
I learned, at the age of about 5, that some people don’t like me because of who I am and what I believe. That’s when the name calling, insults and stone throwing started, difficult to explain to a 5 year old, it had a profound effect on me, until I reached six feet.
Should I have bowed to their threats, never.

“There should be more radical atheism campaigning to rid the world of religious belief”.

So where would you start, Judaism?
The final solution?

Spare us the evangelical atheism, you sound just like the extreme fundamentalists that haunt the planet.

Absolutely, his passing & vision made Garry Hooper’s career, their partnership is the best I’ve seen for Scunthorpe and I include Sharp & Keogh in that.

And Henderson & Juryeff.

Robby Savage described Hooper and Hayes as a nightmare.
Mind you he was playing for a rubbish Derby County at the time.

We’re now seeing just how good the precious Premier League is.
Europe has been a disaster for them and they still try to dictate to the rest on how they want it to be.

I just have that awful feeling of Alfreton beating Boston and then us, with somebody smirking in background.
Tell me it’s just a nightmare.

After watching the Gloucester goal, we really need to cut out the stupid passes, having said that I’ve been saying it all season. (And every season for more years than I care to remember.)

The thing is that Premiership clubs,or even Championship clubs, rarely put out strong sides until the later stages of the FA cup. What’s their gripe?

No players sent off, just both assistant managers, handbags in the dugout.

Then we get a mealy mouthed response from Avi Hyman, but then we should be used to getting an abdication of responsibility from the current government.
The trouble is that some people will use it as a license to act on their antisemitism.

Israel has a responsibility for Jews around the world, to act responsibly. As do we, the Americans, Russians, Arabs and all others with their own diaspora.

Now here’s a thing, Hunt has pinched Labour’s idea of using money from the abolished non dom tax status and is to allocate it, not on Labour’s plan, but elsewhere. Who loses out?
The Tories will lose the next general election but are now embarking on a scorched earth policy to scupper any Labour plans.

Maybe you’re on the path to proving yourself to be the ‘right’ kind of Christian Iron Age … one that doesn’t rattle Gurney’s cage too much. Not like those of us ‘deplorables’ who have differing views to him and, in so doing, have failed to recognise the profound level of self awareness he consistently manifests and the total lack of any self delusion. He asks us all ‘What would Jesus say?’ I suspect he thinks that it would be something like : ‘ You committed the unforgiveable sin. You failed to recognise the profound depth of Commissar Gurney’s wisdom, insight and love for all. Kneel before him, repent and await your instructions.’

Are you my judge?

[Iron Age]

I have to admit that I don’t understand some of the comments by so called Christians on here, I have, in the past, invited them to research the thoughts of the Christian communities in Jerusalem and Palestine but no response.
The truth is that most Christians there are Palestinians and they are treated no better than the rest, even those that declare themselves as atheists.
As for the free market, we can only look at the Irish potato famine and the opium wars to see how that worked.

How about that coming from a Christian?

Truss lacks any sense of the ridiculous. She and those like her are full of their own sense of entitlement, and seek constant admiration to bolster their egos. They have 0% self-awareness, but 100% self-confidence and 100% self-delusion, so they just blunder on arrogantly.

There are lots in public life, Trump, Johnson, Farage… and to some extent it has got them where they are today.

But another thing is the way the religious extremists on here align themselves with the far-right. This is odd, but digging into it, it’s quite logical.

For them, social divisions are part of a wider battle for Britain; one of Christianity v Islamism.

You can see the fear of Islam in their posts. Remember all the Brexit propaganda from Les and the jonnies about an impending Turkish invasion? And the links to far-right websites? JI telling us ‘we’re at war’, as well as the lunacy of BPG’s videos.

For the extremists on here and elsewhere, their religion is a symbol of identity, allegiance, and insurance for an imaginary afterlife. It’s a passcard to paradise. It’s an intense, cultish subscription which is almost impossible to drop or change. They didn’t choose it, it chose them, and giving up would be like giving up football for tiddlywinks, or worse, like an Iron fan becoming a Mariner!

Despite the ridiculousness of all this, rational argument, evidence and facts have no effect, so all the political extremism of the far-right seems justified in order to ‘save’ Christianity.

It’s reinforced and made worse by right-wing politicians and news sources which play up division and lay it on thick in the cosplay of culture wars, to distract the public from calamitous state of everything at present. It worked with Brexit, just, but it won’t again, as the next election will show.

But the oddest thing seems to be the tendency now to talk about Europe v Islam, when a few years back we were being told about the ‘evil empire’, and how those nasty foreigners were responsible for all our ills! Now it seems the great nations of Europe are our allies! Rank hypocrisy or what? What would Jesus say?

Change a few words here and there and this could quite easily be classed as an antisemitic or islamaphobian rant, or even racist.
Your views are your own and you are entitled to them.
But don’t put all Christians into the right wing group, there are plenty of us that aren’t. Not all Christians belong to the evangelical right wing fundamentalists.
Fundamentalism comes in many packages, Christians, Jews, Moslems, politics and yes atheists.
It’s the belief that one is absolutely right and everyone that disagrees is absolutely wrong.
If you think that Christians are completely against Islam or the Palestinians just look at the churches in Jerusalem, Roman, Anglican, Orthodox and Armenian and see what they are saying, it might surprise you.
The trouble with the right wing evangelical Christian fundamentalists of America is that they don’t represent the wider Christian world.
