BREAKING: Internet video purports to show Islamic State group beheading British hostage Alan Henning.
I really fear for the future of this world of ours. This conflict is going to continue for decades. I'm just glad I'm in the autumn of my years and won't be around to see much more. I'm a big bloke and very little bothers me, but this sort of behaviour just pisses me right off.
This news really upsets me, and there's not much that does upset me. I try not to read too much of stories like this in the paper, as it makes me very angry and have huge disbelief at what the world, and our country, is coming to.
The sooner religion is restricted to your own household the better IMO.
Forget religion, this is a collection of the worlds drop outs and psychopaths brought together under the guise of Islam. Hunt them down wherever they are home or abroad and eliminate then. Show them what happens when they take this path, no prisoners, no excuses, no tiptoeing around worrying about upsetting people. Weakness now will come back and haunt us in a generation
It is in the name of relgion though, Macca. Some fanatics are getting more fanatical.
In the US too creationism is growing and science being overlooked. This school on Thursday has now become a lot more religious than it used to be and people are acting in the name of God.
Without religion I don't believe we would be where we find ourselves today.
These people attach themselves to religion, it could just as easy be a gangster style street gang, or football hooligan gang. Somewhere for inadequates to get the sense of belonging that they grave. I wouldn't call myself religious though I've had the odd moment in life when I've called out to something whatever that might be. I think it's unfair to deny those whose faith helps them look after themselves and others because of the actions of a minority.
It's organised religion I have a problem with, not individual faith.
Yep. Went to Bluecoat last night for a secondary school open evening. Daughter will be 11 next year. Been told it's a good school and a friend of mine went there when she was younger.
Now I know it is a C of E school, but I was stunned at the amount of religious imagery and reminders about 'the lord' etc. everywhere
My friend tells me it wasn't like that at all 10 years ago. Now it has a prayer room and SIX chaplains in place and everywhere you look there is a reminder that God created everything and guides us all in every aspect of my lives.
When my friend went there she said there wasn't all the little rules and guidance everywhere and the school had just one chaplain in place.
Last night was like subliminal brainwashing.
Needless to say, we have now since crossed the school off our potential choices.
Give it a wide berth. Religion is a little odd.
Blue Coat school is not all about Christianity. It probably has a bigger intake of non Christian religions than other schools of similar academic achievement. Not sure about Bablake in term of ethnic mix but money always backs up the brains:thinking about:
Yup it does put things into perspective.And here we are arguing about Sisu and CCC. Bye all

What has that to do with the disgusting murder of an innocent man?
You will probably answer that religion is to blame for these brutal acts! and you are correct.
But why have you had a go at Christianity, was the murderer a Christian?
You should put your daughter's education before selfish idealism.
And what is your opinion on the "religion of peace" in question?
Its by far the best state school for academic achievement in the state system in Coventry.

It doesn't have anything to do with the murder of an innocent man. I was just trying to make a point of some aspects of religion becoming more fanatical.
It just seems to be a trend. More and more people are turning away from religion and I think that may have resulted in a hardening in attitudes of those who are relgious.
There is a very worrying trend in America of schools teaching creationism over evolution and them merely dismissing evolution as just another theory. That is quite disturbing.
Seems Bluecoat has become a lot more religious. Just seems to follow a trend with all these faith schools.
They have a chaplain for each year Otis, they are good people who love the kids and support them in doing their best.
Without getting dogmatic I think most if our nation are happy with some form of creation story involving a god. My daughter was at the same open evening.
When I was at blue coat what made it stand out was the holistic education available where those that struggled intellectually were loved and encouraged to pursue their best in other areas.
Sounds like your daughter would excel at blue coat Otis
