A Christian country?

[Oneeyedvic]

There are many questions below (and over the last few weeks/ months) about Muslims taking over etc etc.

There are a lot of talk about this being a Christian country and there is a lot of outrage that this is not being considered.

Just wondering why we think we are a Christian country - and how many of the Ten Commandments do you think are followed (eg working on a Sunday, adultery, coveting a neighbours possession etc)

My parents taught me never to talk to strangers - male or female - let alone get into a car with one!

I felt deeply saddened for the relatives of the murdered prostitutes & they certainly did not deserve to die - however, if they hadn't got into a car with a total stranger (whether for paid sex or not), they might just be alive today.

P.S. No person on this planet has the right to take another person's life, but unfortunately there are evil people out there who do.

In addition - as some prostitutes claim that the only way they can 'earn a living' is to 'sell their bodies', I would also call it an 'Occupational Hazard' of 'their' line of work.

what is smudge going on about

I spent my school days being brainwashed into being the perfect Christion, & I turned out being very Anarchy & an Antichrist! I think this country needs to move away from the idea of a perfect Christian country, considering England is a country full of such a variety of cultures & people! I love the days when I know everyone else is eating easter eggs & chocolate bunnies on Easter, little do they know that Easter is a 'christian' festival, but both the easter bunny & the easter egg & chic come from Pagan origins!

bernie6969 - you ask what smudge is going on about......
smudge was simply following on from Le Chat's post about associating with total strangers.

The thread had already gone off on a tangent before I posted - profuse apologies for adding to it.

Happy New Year anyway!!!!

It is sometimes useful to look for parallels. In FIJI the native population was outnumbered with people from other countries. Could this be the reason for the coup recently?
If you look at the animal kingdom the native red squirrel is now heavily outnumbered by the grey. It is raciast to talk about swamping as said by one of our current politicians because this is a gradual process and is unlikely to be seen even in our childrens lifetime.
