From the article...

Mr Corbyn, who was elected Labour leader in September, did not go as far as suggesting the Government should open a "dialogue" with the militants.

But he added: "I think there has to be some understanding of where their strong points are, where their weak points are, where we can challenge their ideology.

What's your point Lily? Are you highlighting how newspapers make up half truth or bs headlines?

It's not just Judeo-Christian teaching that talks about a great flood. I believe there were other ancient civilisations that talked about a deluge in antiquity. Whether it's the same one, who knows.

Ha ha,does make me chuckle you resort to calling matt lolly, yet your tag line is,about when the debate is lost,they resort to slander.....erm

In some ways Hoof, I dont disagree with either yourself or Stirling wrt church attendance. i have seen the figures that these are in decline strangely moreso in the church or England. I can only speak for myself to say that the in the church I go to on Sunday it is sometimes difficult to get a seat, full of kids, families, older people and some WUM's apparently! (haha!). Wednesday's and fridays are full of older people but younger people are generally at work, school or dont have the time. And you dont have to be the greatest believer (which includes me) to contribute to the community side of the church, helping kids, charities, old people, refugees etc.
My point was that people seem to forget that Christmas was about the housing of a displaced (refugee) family and the birth of Jesus, not just about naff cards, xmas trees, presents, 2 bank holidays, xmas parties and downing a bottle of Harvey Bristol cream which I would say about 75% of the UK population is happy to partake in.....
I also dont think that if you go to church you are automatically a good person, I know some at my own church who are very 'out for themselves', sanctimonious selfish people.' I could provide many examples.
I also believe there are a many good people, probably like yourself Hoof who may not be a churchgoer but is charitable (e.g. your greyhound work) and are probably quietly upset at the plight of refugees and are busy dusting down their spare room and manger to take in a poor refugee boy/man....or am I wrong!
