Christianity in UK = dead?

This is what I'm asking, as I haven't seen any proof of this.

So why exactly do you believe in God? Do you believe in evolution?

1. because I don't trust the sources from which the 'bible' comes from (e.g. CofE was created by Henry the 8th so he could legally divorce)

I got an a in higher rmps which was basically all aboiut buddism, I did consider it but having no possetions is

First year lol, but I love it. And my brain forces me to be sad! It's a fact lol :|

Religion - particularly christianity (particulary CofE) - scares me.

1. because I don't trust the sources from which the 'bible' comes from (e.g. CofE was created by Henry the 8th so he could legally divorce)
...and the CofE (and other Protestant denominations) rejected the historical dogma and doctrines of Christ taught in the Catholic Church which aren't found in the Bible. This also explains why the Protestant "churches" cannot speak with one authoritative voice, and often misrepresent the "Church" teaching. Listen to the Pope.

2. because in my experience, christians are very strange people and I can't understand this blind belief in something they have no proof for.
Liberal Christians, yes. But have you experienced more than one denomination? Granted SSPX are whackos, as are most of the Bible-bashers in Texas, but your usual high-Church Catholic or middle-of-the-road CofE churchman would be absolutely "normal."

Street preachers tend to be deluded and I like arguing with them

I'm a reasonably spiritual person - I'm agnostic - so I believe there is something, but it is probably unimagineable to us (we're really not that clever!). But I liken belief in religion to the blind trust in a government. I just don't trust it!

If you find a religion you think is stable, wonderful

I don't personally know any Christians & I'm wondering how many are actually left in England? Would like to hear your point of view regarding your belief.

Quite a few - but quite rightly observed, the Protestant churches are dying off, yet the Catholic Church continues to grow, especially with the awaited influx of Catholic-minded Anglicans who cannot accept female "bishops"

I think you'll find plenty of posts written by me about the Catholic Faith. Those are both my beliefs, and the Church's - nothing added and nothing taken away. You'll get more of a varied response from Methodists/CofE/Lutherans/Baptists etc

This isn't true. Read some history.

in b4 this thread turns into a thread about Islam

I was brought up by a modern Christian family, and everytime i suggested Darwin weas real, my parents would beat me, because Darwin was actually a massive troll. So you all fail

Actually, that is the long and short of the reason of the existance of the CofE!

The Pope refused Henry VIII an annulment (which is in accordance with Church teachings), so the king went and formed his own church, immediately excommunicating himself from the Catholic Church in doing so.

Lol, well it's hardly going to be Catholicism.

There was still a strong reformist movement in England before the King's marriage upset. And that doesn't cover every Protestant church either, so it's a very weak point to be honest.

Darwins theory is rubbish if we all came from Africa why are we all different colours does not make any sense and if you read about him he was a bit nuts a eurenic

You'd be surprised!

Once Rome has sorted out the internal conflicts in the Church, which are a result of a pontificate that went on far too long and an incapaciated pontiff, the Church will be strong enough to grow - but before that happens, there must be solidification and reitieration of the "Catholic Identity."

Give it another ten years and Catholicism will re-exert itself. It already is amongst young people, most of whom tend to be traditionally minded rather than the female-prevalent happy clappy and "Jesus loves us" mentality.
