The Conservatives have claimed Good Friday

yawn.

Sorry, but I think your last post is just rude. You believe you're right. Some of us disagree. Perhaps we should leave it at that.

Doesn't actually follow their equality and diversity rules does it?

Not as rude as the post that preceded it Dianahmo "preaching", "a Gransnet missionary", "snake oil salesman".

I'm more than happy to have an adult conversation but will not rise to posts that are deliberately goading. I don't have a problem with being disagreed with either, but someone clearly does.

what equality and diversity rules are you referring too jaylucy?

Matthew 5:39

It's not easy suziewoozie and all I can do is try and when I fail, hope to do better next time.

Yes I know that but somehow that’s never an acceptable excuse when left wingers fail at not being perfect ?

Superfluous ‘not’

Agreed suziewoozie perfection can be aspired too but never achieved.

I think I'm about to be sick.

I think that is what I said Madgran.

Oh!

I agree Smileless unpleasant goady posts should always be avoided rather than responded to.
I further agree that being a Christian doesn’t make one a saint here on earth and we need to try harder sometimes.Which is better though, than those who don’t try at all. Being a Christian isn’t an easy option.

suzie why do you always bring ‘left wingers’ into any discussion at all? Do you feel hard done by? If so, why?

Because it’s what happens frequently on GN. There’s quite a bit of it about atm.

Neither is being left wing

I wonder if the right wingers are also feeling sorry for themselves...

I do attempt to avoid them lemongrove but some members have tried turning them into a sport I feel - perhaps the post this came from is a very good example.

Whatever childish attitude anyone has to the posts it really shouldn't mean that one person's views should be purported to be the only truth, to be accepted as that just because they shout to all and sundry that they are a Christian.

As yet we have not had to don the red clock and white poke bonnet even if every day under this government and listening to the newspeak on these boards our future looks more and more dystopian. Whatever nonsense posters come up with it is true that in this country, at least at the moment, that we don't have to believe that their view of Christianity - which speaks to their view of other religions - is the only truth or even a truth.

Sorry about the double post.

?
I was just thinking that Pantglas but if they do they keep it to themselves.
I have to laugh at the thought of being a left wing voter not being easy.It’s as easy as being anything else politically speaking.

Surely, stirring up hatred against Conservative MPs and their supporters is a hate crime?

I'm sure those Conservative MPs being seen as sleezy and dispicable would like to be able to call it hatred and make it a crime. However, where have you seen the stirring up of actual hatred Kapitan?

Gilead here we come I feel. It was corrupted fundamentalist Christianity they used against the population there I seem to remember.

This thread has evolved into something akin to Alice falling down the rabbit hole.
