Good News!! Ian Brady is dead!!

The likes of Lord Shaftesbury (Anthony Ashley Cooper) and Dr Bernardo were Christians and did amazing things with their wealth to help others because they were convinced of the truth that they read in the Scriptures.

That makes a rather large assumption.  It’s highly likely religion or no religion that they would have done what they did because of who they were not due whatever religion they followed.  Morals and altruism are absolutely in no way whatsoever exclusive to religion.  And there's plenty of  down right nasty religous nutters out there.

It also is/was the way this country was governed and shaped for many years, its apart of our routes and heritage. Again I'm not saying it was all good and that people sometimes got it wrong with decisions made, but overall this country was a better place to live for most people because of our Christian routes.

Indeed, just a few hundred years ago the churches executed individuals for blasphemy.  Atheists were routinely executed by the churches.  Then there are the crusades – the least said about that the better eh?  So yes our country is indeed founded on the evil deeds of religion.  It’s now 2017 and only now are some of the churches in the UK coming to grips with the fact that some people are – wait for it – gay! – up till now most churches have promoted discrimination against gay people.

Aged parents lived with their families and were looked after by their children, now days we put them in a home were people who often don't even have the same language look after them/keep them quiet, they are often lonely and sad and they live out their last few years in isolation.

Having just spend years looking out for and looking after my parents, I can tell you there often comes a time when there is no other option to look at care home options.  Particularly with dementia you will more than likely get to a point where it either simply not possible or frankly downright cruel to try and keep your parent or parents at home.  I find your views on care of the elderly ignorant and breathtakingly simplistic.

What happened to Brady in this post he seems to be slowly disappearing, from where I am now in the write a comment section of FOC-U I can not see who started this post but would like to thank them for doing so as it has certainly opened up a bit of discussion about life the world and everything in it, so cheers Author  [img alt=:thumbup width=23 height=18]http://foc-u.co.uk/file:///C:/Users/garet/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image001.gif[/img]

I think perhaps what you have done is hijacked a thread in order to promote your own little pet subject ie that little voice in your head called God.

Don't you just love it when people debate with passion
