Question Time
Tuesday 25th July
Please note that the following blog and comments are not the place for posting answers or discussion, that time will come as I address each question in future blogs.
It is question time!
Ever had one of those niggling questions about God/Religion/Christianity that you can’t get a straight answer to? Well now you can post related questions here and I will do my best to research them and provide impartial answers, or at least some guidance for further discussion.
Feel free to post anonymously, but please include your real email address which I will not divulge on the site. In fact, if you really want to ensure anonymity, mail your question to me: stu@0105.pygmygοa
The floor is open…
Please do not post answers/discussion in these comments - their time will come as I address each question in future blogs.

From anonymous: I want to know the link between race-related groups and Christianity. For example, ‘white power’ groups always seem to be Christian and ‘black power’ groups always seem to be Christian etc.

Why are religions used to justify wars? (see above)
Why do people need an Invisible Friend?
Is god in the 10th Dimension? Or lower?
Are the “great religions” out of control and used purely for individual/political advancement?

Is the old testament meant to be true, or do they just keep forgetting to take it out when they re-print it?
I only ask because whenever I get people at the door I point out that Deuteronomy states that ‘A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the lord; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the lord.’. I always say that my G. G. G. G. Grandfather was a bastard (Well, it *might* be true!) and they may as well save themselves the effort as I’m not going to get in anyway and they tell me it doesn’t count because it’s the old testament.
