Christian Values

FortuitousFluke · 21 Dec 2018 at 11:12

As a chap of impeccable breeding currently working in London I can indeed confirm that City folk have discarded their Christian values, two in particular spring to mind.

Commandment 320 - Thou shalt not halt thy forward momentum with no warning when traversing a busy walkway. and;
Commandment 2589 - Thou shalt remove thy backpack when entering a packed tube train.

Honestly, it's the downfall of western society.

Because Christianity came well before civilised society and "not being a ****" isn't human nature, it's something that has to be taught.

Lucky the Romans invaded and bought us the good word... oh wait.

Well I agree with the teaching good behaviour as part of civilised society at least.

Humans band together with others they hold common values with. Multiculturalism means that lots of people with different values live alongside each other, and common ground is lost. With no clear direction, the only real outcome is mayhem and disdain for one another.

Another great Christian value is taken from Sodom and Gomorrah. God gets rather cross with man because he doesn't like homosexuals. He then sends a couple of his henchmen to rape and kill everyone. Tells his mate Lot to leg it and not look back but his wife does look back so he turns her to stone.

I think when the media started promoting stupidity at the end of the 90s was the start of the downfall.

A lot of people are so insecure they don't even know who they are.

All it would need is the media and other government agencies to start acting responsible and things would eventually we'd get some law and order again.

Nobody likes this disorderly chaotic society.

Of course, if we was involved in another world war then things would change dramatically.

It always comes down to this simple fact.

If the people shouting the most about something and perceived to be the authority on the matter (the church) happen to continually be in some sort of scandal, eventually people's trust wanes until the authority is dead.

Literally hundreds of thousands of people have been molested by the church and they continue to protect it, Christianity killed itself, why believe in something that it's most ardent believers don't even follow?

The next basic truth is that if that's the case, then why bother at all? Being selfish is vastly more rewarding and in this vastly populated world, you have no ******* choice.

“Folks, it's time to evolve. That's why we're troubled. You know why our institutions are failing us, the church, the state, everything's failing? It's because, um – they're no longer relevant. We're supposed to keep evolving. Evolution did not end with us growing opposable thumbs. You do know that, right?”

It's too late, I went to school in the late 80s and out of 36 children about 4 were white British, the damage is already done in many cities.

Religion has nothing to do with it, those values are common sense to anyone that's educated and from a civilised Country, sadly many of them are now feral. .

Call non-white British people feral is... well beyond any fence of decent discussion.

And not very Christian either, which is ironic considering the thread topic.

I remember when the IKEA there opened and the A406 was closed for 2 hours while Plod had to break up the riot the local skiprats started over £50 sofas.

Is that feral nature not the whole reason Christians sent missionaries out.... or is that just how the Church tells you you're fired these days?

Haha, yea. Savages. The natives didn't stand a chance.

Ah yes, that's a two part commandment along with:

"The weary masses who approach their journeys end are blessed among all of God's children, do not place your need to beggineth your journey above their need to alighteth from theirs lest the Lord smite thee with powerful tutting and a multitude of eye rolls"
