Coronation church stuff

[vlyons]

I grimace at all the prayers and appeals to their bronze age invisible sky god, who waves a magic wand to suspend the laws of physics. Found it rather amusing that right at the beginning, Charles promised that he is a protestant, and will only let a protestant be king.

1. Yes, the adulterer and adulteress are front and center

Diana must be rolling over in her grave. I hope she haunts both of them.

[vlyons]

2. Yes that thought occured to me also

Although I forgave their adultery long ago. We all of us make mistakes. That doesn't upset me nearly as much as the persistent belief in the resurrection of a 3 day old corpse that gets up and starts walking around. Then escapes earth's gravity without a rocket or oxygen supply.

3. All the vows being taken today

as he is crowned King are being made by a man who had no intention of honoring his vows made the day he married Diana. He is a liar at his core.

It makes no difference to me to whom or what he makes these vows. People don't change. He is a hypocrite.

12. Well, I wouldn't care either except that his infidelity to Diana was thrust in our faces again and

again. It stirs up bad memories in some people who have been cheated on during their marriage and reminds us of all the misery and heartbreak when a spouse (and father of your kids) does that and
never has to say "sorry about that."

4. Does Biden's faith bother you?

Does his belief in an invisible sky god cause you concern?

[vlyons]

10. yes somewhat

It's disturbing that in this day and age, anyone would still believe that there's an invisible sky god. Science and rational, logical thought and analysis would be much better.

[Kaleva]

11. Humans, by nature, aren't rational creatures

Even those who strive to live by logic and reason can have beliefs that aren't logical or rational to others. Faith doesn't have to involve a supernatural bring.

I have faith that many of our children and grandchildren can adapt to catastrophic climate change. Others believes humans will go extinct. Who is correct?

[vlyons]

13. I wasn't referring to faith, but to the illogical belief in a bronze age creator god

15. Belief in a supernatural bring requires faith

[vlyons]

16. It requires suspension of reason and ignoring the absense of evidence.

There's also no tooth fairy, no easter bunny, and no Santa Clause. Moslems believe that Muhammed ascended to heaven on a winged horse. There are no horses with wings. Just because some people faithfully believe something doesn't make it so.

5. I love it!!!!! History is important and this is an incredible moment in time!

[Solomon]

6. But the music is awesome!

[Sympthsical]

7. Edgy if true

[Earth-shine]

8. After watching a few minutes of it, I wanted to declare independence from England all over again.

It's a big, self-important, pompous costume show and some are quite silly.

Haven't seen anything like it since the queen died.

9. it also struck me - very very religious ceremony

[lindysalsagal]

14. Witness the codependency of religion and government

It was ever thus.

[Tommy Carcetti]

17. Ok.
