Well spoken. The "planting the seeds" of civilizational Christianity image is derived, I believe, from Ayaan Hirsi Ali's comments at the ARC conference. However, I have one comment in response to Douglas Murray's saying that we need to acknowledge the spring from which our culture has sprung. I would contend that acknowledging the spring is not sufficient, it is necessary to drink from that spring; acknowledging the source is little better than admiring the cut flower. That said, we need more outspoken and well spoken influencers like these two men.

Such an interesting discussion. I see the danger of crushing Christianity in this country (and Europe) as being the danger of the vacuum left behind which will be rapidly filled by the next strongest religion which is currently Islam. - secularism, humanism or atheism is not nearly strong enough to withstand positive beliefs perhaps because it’s a denial or reaction, not a belief in anything above. Who would die for secularism? Not many. But Christianity allows such non-belief to co exist peacefully beside faith- and we learnt our lesson on that following the civil war in England a few centuries ago…(no more burning at the stake). Yet still most mainstream media is allergic to Christianity and mentioning God or Christ Jesus and even Christmas has become the province of Santa and Elf’s and shops etc, not the nativity anymore, or the beauty of holiness or the thrill of coming out out of church with a lovely day ahead. These are not spoken of enough.

Totally agree. Fighting over who's got the best imaginary friend is just plain ridiculous! It is, however, obvious that Christianity is less of a threat to those who happen to not be Christian, and a Christian society is clearly more free and healthy.

Very impressive conversation

Beautifully told

I very much enjoy these conversations, rational 🙏

I have empathy for those who have no faith because it is quite literally “a leap of faith“ to choose to believe in that which cannot be substantiated and this is a leap too far for many. Where would the value of a faith be if we knew of Gods existence beyond doubt? That would just be rule by fear. I am not a church goer myself but my upbringing was within the Church of England, which I admired for its former tolerance and sense of service, though sadly it appears increasingly lost nowadays. My simple faith tends to stem primarily from the parables that were so much a part of my childhood worship experience. I feel that I am acquainted with Jesus and I always ask myself what would he do in any given situation! For clarity, I am certainly no Jesus prophet myself and merely a humble admirer of his. Many of today’s latter day social media prophets influencers, however, seem to wish to give the impression that they are of his calibre but I see precious little evidence of that.

Profound stuff!

How eloquently put Mr. Douglas Murray.

Such wise words. I hope and pray that we can replant and reset. Thank you again. Still wish Mr. Douglas Murray for Prime Minister.

Douglas mentions the incident of the woman taken in adultery from the Book of John; if you remember Jesus was sitting on the ground teaching the people when the elders brought the woman to him for judgement. Understand the woman was in fact guilty, and Jesus saying at the end to her, "Go and sin no more," confirms that, but was is really interesting is that while all of this was going on he was writing something in the dirt in front of him with his finger. The scripture doesn't tell us what he was writing, but one theory scholars propose is that he was writing the sins of all those who had brought the guilt woman there to be judged by Jesus. So, when Jesus says, "All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!” they all knew that they were condemned themselves, so they all melted away one by one. Puts a real spin on the story doesn't it? And it's not that being caught in adultery is ok in Christianity. That bit of scripture is very deep and has a broad and expansive interpretation, is full of god's mercy who has full knowledge of our sinfulness.

I started to listen to Douglas Murray and became interested in his stand against Hama and radical islam. Thank you and may God bless and protect you. We need God and turning back to faith and repentance, giving value to the Scriptures. Why do English people forget, that the first person who translated and printed the Bible in English was executed and burned? His name was William Tyndale, ~1490-1536 he payed with his life for giving access to the Word of God. (from Switzerland)

"He who is without sin, cast the first stone" wasn't an invitation to commit violence Douglas, it was a recommendation to search your heart because as we all know. THOSE WHO LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES SHOULDNT THROW STONES!

But we as individuals are 'flowers that wither and die' as you say it. All individuals wither and die.. its is the culture of that country that should develop / improve, grow stronger.. when that ciuntry /culture allows another culture to inviad its soil, then it suffers, withers and dies.. England has/did have a strong national pride/culture, ... but it is being attacked by forgien cultures... You can only mix a culture to a degree before that culture becomes overtaken, watered down to such an extent that it is no longer recognisable.. i think we have already past that point.. goodbye England, polititions have sold our nation, our culture, our pride and joy, for what we cheap labour, for wokness.

I totally agree with what the fellow said about churchills quote. People do need something to live by and it should be as decent as it can be made. Makes me also think of the phrase ‘if you don’t set your own agenda, someone else will do it for you’.

Well said Douglas !

God does not want man to be “forced” to follow him, he wants us to come out of our own free will. He “calls” us and it is up to us if we go.

God is of the Devine whereas religion is of man and therefore flawed. Quite often its actions fall far short of its aspirations as a result of mans fallibility. However, perhaps we must forgive its transgressions if it is apparent that the intention was good and that the failure is regretted. This is perhaps a little too New Testament for some in society that prefer the handing down of guilt from generation to generation.

Great 👍

@@tochiRTA I agree that certain values can be said to be held in common among human beings. The Apostle Paul says as much in Romans 2. C. S. Lewis compiled several sayings showing as much from different sources in The Abolition of Man. However, your assertion that “Christian values” do not exist is demonstrably false. Let me provide a couple early examples of the ways Christian values were distinguished from Greco-Roman values. Marital fidelity is taught throughout the Bible (cf. Matthew 5:28; 19, Hebrews 13:4), yet, by contrast, Apollodorus writes, “We have courtesans for pleasure, concubines for the daily tending of the body, and wives in order to beget legitimate children...” (Appollodorus ‘Against Neaira’). In Diognetus (commonly found in collections of the Apostolic Fathers), the author among other things, argues that Christians, while following local customs, are nonetheless marked off as different from their host cultures. One example he provides is, “they do not expose their offspring” (5:6). We know from multiple sources, including Longus, Daphnis and Chloe, that the Greeks and Romans exposed theirs. For a full historical treatment of the question of Christian values and their impact on Western civilization, I recommend Tom Holland’s (the historian, not the actor) book, Dominion. Cheers!

Here we go again we the comparisons between Islam and Christianity. Brilliant at sugarcoating your religion sir. You just revealed your true intentions are driven by religious affiliations and not by logic or reasoning. But to enlighten you, the Bible has way more bizarre, violent and disturbing content than the Quran. A simple google search will confirm that. Simply put, no Christian has the right to insult Islam. I’ll tolerate an atheist, but y’all just say anything without reading your own book
