We are in Administration, just had a points deduction and are about as fucked as we could be. So... I'm guessing God is a Villa fan!
But he isnt really because he DOESN'T EXIST you silly, silly people! Grow up and live your lives without an imaginary friend!

Each to their own people. Careful not to make your comments offensive. Pretty sure whatever the op's religious views this thread was meant to be light hearted.

I find religion offensive. I was dragged up by nuns and priests in a 1950's convent. I had religion forced upon me from the age of 5, I was made to learn Latin at the same age. If I didn't get the language right, I was beaten with a 4" wide leather belt. I had to go to mass every other morning, and every evening after a crap meal, it was either an hour of rosary or benediction in the convent church. I've written a book on this.
Religion? Forget it!

Hi Japandy, hope you're well. Have you tried this test: http://humanism.org.uk/humanism/are-you-a-humanist/? Wonder what score SBTers get too....

Houchens Head · Mar 30, 2013

Just done that quiz Royal S. Seems I'm an agnostic!

TheRoyalScam · Mar 30, 2013

Out of interest, what % did you get? (You don't have to reply - I know it's quite a personal 'quiz'!)

God was a woman,
her real name was Godiva
her mates called her God

Harry Krishner · Mar 30, 2013

Good man Andy.

A lot of people on here confusing God with religion.

Can you guys remember what message you were given at the end? Mine was:

'Wow, you are a definitely a humanist. Many people are, often without even knowing it!'

So £60m in debt, in administration, in the 1st Division, just been deducted 10 points scuppering any hopes of promotion and still got David Bell for another 2 seasons - if this is God showing his love lets be thankful we haven't pissed the Big Man off or things could get bad for us!

Question for 'believers': Why is 'god' always male?

Sky Blue Pete · Mar 30, 2013

He's not royal scam!! As a Christian I think to give god a personhood is unhelpful

Nonleagueherewecome · Mar 30, 2013

I have to say the only scam here is that survey! As ever, the answer you get depends on the question you ask. And for over half of those questions, my answer wasn't there, meaning you find yourself choosing the one they want you to to avoid the "complete bastard/nut-case" options!

Organised religion is bad; organised middle class hippy wank trying hard to not to be religion is every bit as bad IMO.

So which answers were "complete bastard/nut-case" from your point of view?

And I'd be interested to see your own answers to the questions.

With only 4 available answers I agree with you that it is a very basic 'survey' - it's just the BHA trying to provoking discussion and debate on individuals' philosophies.

Nonleagueherewecome · Mar 30, 2013

I can't be bothered to go back onto it, but stuff like the one about laws, "I do what I want", or the one which alluded to the meaning of life being to get as much money as possible...that sort.

Nonleagueherewecome · Mar 30, 2013

Essentially, I see the whole humanist movement as a bit of a "ohh, we hate religion, but we want religion in our lives after all, only in a smug and pretentious way". I dunno, just watch the Peep Show episode about it, it says what I think in a much more entertaining way than my incoherent ramblings!

Only going on what people say or what I read, SBP!

Ashbyjan: 'The Big Fella'

The Lord's Prayer: 'Our Father....'

Sky Blue Pete: 'He's not....'

The Two Mormons who called chez Scam the other week: #1: 'I see him as a big old white man with a long beard....', #2: 'So do I....'

Nonleagueherewecome · Mar 30, 2013

Has anyone seen the Matt Stone and Trey Parker thing on the Mormons yet?

Royal Scam the recent BBC4 series on the history of early Christian art was fantastic, quite revealing...so much of the imagery around Christianity is very much added on later and bares little resemblance to the characters portrayed in the Bible.

You're quite wrong I'm afraid - humanists don't 'hate religion' or 'want religion in our lives after all'.

Let me quote Arthur C. Clarke: "One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion."

I like Peep Show but unfortunately haven't seen the one concerning Humanism.

ajsccfc · Mar 30, 2013

It gave me 93% humanist. Do I still get Monday off for Easter?

TheRoyalScam · Mar 30, 2013

100% yes, ajsccfc - Easter has always been a secular festival, just like Yule - both of them hijacked by religion.

CJparker · Mar 30, 2013

If there is a GOD, I think it likely that He / She loves CCFC no more and no less than everyone else. Therefore, the original post is not wrong as such, but kind of irrelevant

Of course humanists wouldn't say that; it's my analysis and opinion of them. Just can just live your life and do the right thing, you don't need a load of pretentious baggage to justify it.

Does secular mean the same thing as pagan? Lord, where are you, that's probably your area!

TheRoyalScam · Mar 30, 2013

'...live your life and do the right thing, you don't need a load of pretentious baggage to justify it...'

It could be argued that humanists do precisely that: do the right thing without the baggage of religion.

What's 'pretentious' about Humanism?

No god as a human concept is unhelpful wasn't using pc nonsense!!

I know us Christians believe Jesus was god in human form but god is not a human being

Houchens Head · Mar 30, 2013

Jesus was just a religious prophet like John the Baptist or any other. His so called "disciples" made him out to be "god"!

TheRoyalScam · Mar 30, 2013

'secular': not having any connection with religion

'pagan': belonging to a religion that worships many gods, especially one which existed before the main world religions
