What about the Jedis?

Even the Jedis suffer persecution.

Jedi ejected from Tesco for wearing hood:

Britain and the rest of Europe should have insisted , they have the right, that no human can , under any circumstances cover their identity , if cameras can identify me why not everyone.
Religion or not to walk about covered from head to toe is anachronistic and medieval.

The enemy to knowledge is the Roman Catholic Church not the Greek Orthodox Church which has fought hard to preserve the wisdom of the ancients:

The Church functions as a charity. Tax exemption is the least we can allow it.

It brings untold comfort to many destitute people. You cannot put a price on that.

Does this business enterprise look like a charity to you?

Furthermore, the GO Church didn't even provide any shelter, food, or warm clothing for GC refugees in 74. Some Charity!

Mate, this hotel and others in Cyprus belong to the Michaelides family.

God, I didn't know they were both gay.

That is a surprise, we thought you knew all the gay people, intimately, what?

Abolish the GOC?

Well, beware what you wish for ...

The fastest growing ideology in western Europe is aethism which dwarfs both Christianity and Islam.

Has this created the utopia that the abolitionist pray for?

Well no, what is actually happening is that as Churches close, Mosque's are springing up everywhere, particularly in urban areas, back up by large oil money.

They are in your face calling for sharia law and are even manipulating local politics to secure huge funds for their agenda.

I don't have to tell you that the natives are not happy about this.

The muslims are simply following their conviction, within the laws of the land, so the natives can hardly moan when this is going on, particularly when they have turned their back on their own religion.

You can't stop people from exercising their religious freedoms. The decline of Christianity can not be blamed for the rise of Islam within Western societies. This was always going to happen regardless. But I would presume, that over time, this too will decline as some Muslims integrate more and more within the society and country they have chosen to adopt.

And as for Atheism not creating the utopia, well you can hardly expect Atheists to have this ability, but they are better equipped to be tolerant, less racist, less selfish and more forgiving than Christians are. Gay marriages have now been legalised in the EU, as they have in many other countries, and Atheists are better able to create a more liberal and moral society than Christianity or any other religion has been able to achieve in the past.

When you look at your past record of tyranny, religious war, nationalism spawned from your very Church, and the millions that have been killed by in the name of God, you will begin to realise that the Liberal Atheistic ideals of Western Europe are a huge improvement and far closer to the utopia we all desire, but they too are only human, and so the perfect utopia may be out of reach, because humans are not perfect, and are incapable of perfection.

What nonsense as the Catholicism and Orthodoxy did not exist at this time since both were a single body. The Schism occurred in the 11th Century AD!

But I would agree, both Catholicism and Orthodoxy are an enemy to Hellenism.

For your information, there is ample proof that the image of Jesus was created to resemble the likeness of his face as close as possible to what was the common facial features and short cropped beards that was common for the average Jewish male at the time. Jewish society in Palestine, did not follow, or have a desire to follow or imitate the Hellenic Zeus, especially since the Jewish faith strongly adheres to the Old Testament.

Interestingly its YOU who wants the GOC abolished.

You should really read comments properly before replying - I never said it was, I said it was due to the rise of Atheism.

But I would presume, that over time, this too will decline as some Muslims integrate more and more within the society and country they have chosen to adopt.

I hope you are correct, but with the the rise of large muslim ghettoes, large birth rates and the import of backward thinking imams throughout western Europe, we can only but speculate what will actually happen.

Missing my point again, which is about the consequences of Atheism removing Christianity through it's liberalism leading to a rise in Islam and we all know what they think about gays.

You may say that, but in the 20th and 21st centuries, with the rise of Atheism, that is simply not the case when it comes to war, so basically humans do not change.

The GOC will be abolished with time. It's called Natural Selection and evolution. Don't fight the inevitable for it is futile!

Here you expose your limitations. Atheism has nothing to do with the rise of Islam. Completely different since Muslims are those that spread Islam, not Atheists.

But I would presume, that over time, this too will decline as some Muslims integrate more and more within the society and country they have chosen to adopt.

I hope you are correct, but with the the rise of large muslim ghettoes, large birth rates and the import of backward thinking imams throughout western Europe, we can only but speculate what will actually happen.

Once again, Atheism is not responsible for the rise of Islam. This would have happened whether Atheist existed or not

And as for Atheism not creating the utopia, well you can hardly expect Atheists to have this ability, but they are better equipped to be tolerant, less racist, less selfish and more forgiving than Christians are.

No! You are very confused.

Atheists has always existed. It is not a new phenomena.

It is not responsible for the rise of Islam in any part of the world.

Afghanistan and the Palestinian crisis are 2 recent examples. God is still the root cause of why many people die by His very hand. So nothing has changed!

Once again, Atheism is not the cause of societies problems. Religion is, and has been proven so.

The GOC is ruled by the mighty dollar, was responsible for labeling thousands as 'Bastards' because we didn't give them control of OUR money, and because of this they had split/destroyed families.

You talk about the principles of Christianity, and I will show you one thousand examples of how the GOC and its followers are just hypocrites where the devil's dollar rules supreme, and where countless human rights have been disrespected and trampled upon.

Repent!
