Yeah I saw this over the weekend - Owen totally crushed him. Great stuff.

Also, maybe I should start a dedicated Hermeneutics (Rolling) thread, but I’m always intrigued by the notion of Jesus’ sacrifice and its validity as a selfless act when he knew he was the son of god and that he’d be fine in the long run.

Bloody loved doing A-level RE, would’ve done theology at university but couldn’t be fucked with learning ancient Greek.

Yeah if I was going to do that thing that middle class professionals do and do a degree in later life for larks, theology would be up there as an option tbh!

Took a bit of digging, but thought it was quite enlightening about the cultural problem they face.

If Tories can’t win more people over “we’ll go out of business as a party”

Says it all really.
