Re: touchy
Why on earth do we bother to carefully collect religious demographic data when robin can just tell us that it's all meaningless.
Robin is a nihilist. The book of Ecclesiastes is his Bible.
Or didn't you know. Its a worldview and all are (in this democratic age) entitled to their worldview (or didn't you know)

Re: touchy
I know. Even John A. Davison put "God bless you" on his 'elect-me-for-governor' manifesto.
Its hard to believe isn't it?

Re: touchy
You mean like 95% of Ireland calling themselves Romans Catholic and in a population of 15000 where I live the Roman Catholic church gets maybe 150 attending on Sundays (average age over 50)

Re: touchy
Someone asked them a question they never thought about. They felt a need to provide an answer. And tradition did the rest.

Re: touchy
From what I've seen, most people act like atheists to me.
No fruit in their convictions - their convictions being something they don and discard like a evening suit or something? "In context I am this - everywhere else I live as an atheist would" A bit like Ireland Roman Catholics given the figures?

Re: touchy
These philosophical positions do not translate to practicalities. But it does matter to one's inner being. I think that's important.
I think its more than that. Supremely vital is the way I would put it. A great God would not be interested in the labels we attach to ourselves. Labels come and go, they go in and out of fashion. And like fashion, philosopical ideas and Religious products arise again and again: the have new packaging and trimmings but it is really the same old idea rehashed time and time again.
God would be interested in something far more telling than a 2006 label.
Where our hearts lay. Mans heart has always lain somewhere. That never goes out of fashion.
