One response to “Religious Education: that’s another sermon”
…and there was so much more, in a pre released statement, and reported by the BBC (to be fair I couldn’t bear to watch the actual semon), it stated that the Archbishop was going to say that
“…he will insist that the ultimate test of Christianity is not whether it is beneficial to the human race but whether the resurrection of Jesus Christ actually happened.” (BBC)
Well I have to say that I agree with him, and the conclusion must be that the test has failed! But the story went on…
“He will say that for Christians a vision of reconciled love between people “is there only because God raised Jesus” and that the answer is not in scientific proof but by the way believers live with their faith.” (BBC)
Here I disagree, the ONLY answer is within scientific proof (although I prefer the word evidence) and faith is an philosphically and epistomologically INVALD way of looking at the world.
For more on this epic fail please check out the BBC report for more cringe making statements from others (including a trashy misrepresentation of the RDFRS poll of Christians):
