Around the World in 80 Faiths
OP - February 02, 2009, 02:14 PM

Has anybody been watching this? I saw an episode the other day, it was quite interesting. It's also quite amusing how the person doing the documentary dismissed so many faiths because they conflict with his religion

I haven't seen any of the previous episodes but I will be catching up on them.

I saw some of the earlier one and have enjoyed them.

I just wonder how this is affecting the guys faith himself as a vicar. It makes me realise how man has just made up all these things to satisfy the various needs they provide.

Yes, the whole thing is quite potty. It reminds me of the Brantub or Lucky Dip you could pay sixpence to have a go at, at fairs and the like when I was a kid. You never knew what piece of old junk you would pull out of it.

ROFL. Nice analogy there.

So is this an Anglican vicar toddling off around the world to reassure himself that yes, God really is an Englishman?

Devious, treacherous, murderous, neanderthal, sub-human of the West.

He's a very hippy trendy groovy young(ish) Anglican vicar. I like him - he seems like a really nice guy. I have to say that I like Anglicanism (is that the right word) it is how religion ought to be - just about love, peace, charity (genuine) respect for other ways of life and leave all the fundamentalist bullshit out of it lol
