Ramble incoherently? For someone who drowns in a nebulae of vacuous posts, with more commonplace "it & "its" and "all you do", it was the good professor at Harvard that issued those statements on the old myths being shed (and he also mentioned the trash bin)

There has been change which even incoherent fellows like you can't deny, directly proportionate to access to information ( brummys fave concept). The findings now, 20yrs later seem to support the professor's outlook, religion may be growing but so is non~religious affiliation. Of atheism & agnoticism you forgot the other one, Apatheism, or those who don't care.

Btw, Jesus was not "God", a nice old Jewish lady told me this the other night, no messiah either.

I wish you would actually read the bible before you spread the good news. Alastair has proven time and time again you don't have a foggy clue of a notion what you are talking about.

The following words of Jesus will be very familiar to us… “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”Matthew 28:19,20
Those supposed words of Jesus are a "post-Resurrection" idea. The only other place where Jesus commanded the 11 apostles to preach to "all the nations" is in the spurious "long ending" of Mark 16. (Mk 16;15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.)

The verse in Matthew (whose main source was Mark) was probably an interpolation at least partly to sell the concept of the Trinity.

During the days of his preaching, Jesus of Nazareth addressed only Jews and even instructed his disciples not to approach Gentiles or Samaritans. Matthew 10, 5-6: These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
