Why I'm thinking about Jesus for the first time

The sixth form i joined this year is also a Catholic senior school and because of this alot of the members of the sixth form moved up from the lower school and are Catholic. So at Christmas they're obviously going to have a gathering which I always feel really awkward because I'm not religious and don't know all the hyms and prayers off by heart but today at the gathering, the head teacher said something that really made me think.

I'm normally happy sitting there thinking "Walking on water, I don't think so. Healing the whellchair bound? Not my cup of tea" but whether or not Jesus could do those things Jesus has still impacted us all. Even if he was just a normal guy, someone has been inspired by him and started a school based on whatever they see in him. So no, I don't think Jesus could do all those things (though I'm not ignorant to those who do) but without Jesus I would be in a different school so I would ahve met different people and I myself would be totaly different.

So if you're not religious, next time you hear someone say "Jesus has an impact on us all" just think, he could well have.

my Partner says jesus wasn't the person the bible claims he was but he was a person who tried to destroy the romans and they made him seem great and sent by God. I think that waht he said anyway :D

i think he was a very early example of a magician. whatever he was or did, the impact he made is immense and has had a massive part of shaping the world we live in now.

what about all the other religions then ?

i don't believe in none of it.

all it's about is blame, you can always put the blame on to your god when things go wrong for you, if there was a god & there can only be ONE, would he/she/it sit idly by while we kill each other in the names of other false gods ?

Is God responsible for the fact people kill each other? With the gift of life comes the ability to make the decisions : good or bad. You kill someone, you will ultimately pay for it, either in this life, or in a life to come.

I've never been totally convinced about religion in general, I'm open to the concept and I'd like to believe in it all but I think I'll always remain on the fence. I wouldn't call myself an atheist though, more of an agnostic. Although to avoid actually giving a serious answer on Facebook I put 'Jedi' as my religious views, haha.

I don't understand how there can be a God with such insidents like Baby P

What I was taught at A-Level is that we have to have the bad to appreciate the good things in life. You're right, though, why that had to happen to Baby P I don't know.

I agree with that: good/bad balances stuff out. Without the rain, we wouldn't appreciate the rainbows.

The Baby P stuff: I would say the person who's done this will pay, either in this life, or the next.

Incidentally, the Kabbalah religion looks at the idea that - every thought, after action has a consequence (agreed).

I'm kinda the same as you. I wouldn't dismiss religion but I can't see how you could believe it. When people ask me "so you don't believe in God then?" I don't really know how to answer. I think we're better off just not thinking aobut a "greater power" and appreciate what we have regardless of where it came from so I don't really think past that.

My facebook religion is radio one :)

I totally agree, I just don't seem to have any religious belief, not that I have anything against people that do. I'm not a great fan of organised religion- to me there seems something a bit strange about all of the rituals, and people living their lives by a set of rules. Its seems to me as well that although a lot of people would class themselves under a certain religion, they often hold many views that are at odds with the orthodoxy.

On a slight aside, I was absolutely disgusted at the comments on Newsbeat from the Pope that homosexuality is as major a problem as dying rainforests.

Religion's such a funny thing: I know I've been Protestant, then Catholic... and in neither one can I find true answers. I've looked into Kabbalah, now I may look at Budism, I think. It's so difficult, it really is.

Religion is reeeally interesting; I took it for A-Level, it's really good once you delve into it. Buddhism is a good one, Viv, check it out :)

I think you can live a happy and fulfilling life without religion too, if that is the intrinsic purpose of religion; religion remains a lifestyle choice, of course, not a fundamental, indispensable, sacrosanct or mandatory aspect or component of being one is erred if living without.

We were talking about TS Eliot in English who's poetry is pretty much about trying to find an answer in life but he write aobut the fact that people spend so long looking for answers and not appreciating what thry have here and now that before they know it there life is over.

*Jono enters the thread*

Surely if you believe in a God who can't do miracles then he's not very good?

But I'm sure the argument was God created the planet and it was our own fault if we mess it up. He gave us a choice (such as with the apple in the Garden of Eden).

      Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter.

      Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?

      Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.

      Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!

      R1 to R2 transfers

      I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days

      Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.

      With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.

      Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Lee E · Posted

      Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday.

      As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
