The only thing "official" about this is the fact that it is from the Archbishop of Canterbury.

He's the top man, in the UK at least...

Edit: Better make that England only.

A bishop is no closer to God than average ivan, yet his opinion on what is going on is much more regarded than anyone elses.
Strange things this world holds.

So, my understanding of christianit is that god made this land (later planet, later geocentric system, later sun centric, later universe) and sends some supernatural horsemen to destroy it and kill everything.
Who was then expecting a happy end in the first place?
Also, :hesaid:

Thats about it, nobody messes with T4HOTA!

The Archbishop of Canterbury usually gets promoted to the House of Lords:-

With a name like that, its only fair.

Ah, but he is closer and knows more. For the same reason, the Pope knows that condoms won't help reduce the spread of AIDS :dry:

Usually? Always, I thought.

Just noticed the full name of the House of Lords: The Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in Parliament assembled. Yeah, I'd say the Archbishop would fit in there.

I sense nothing religious here, just the same environmental guilt trip...

ROFL! :lol: OK, that cracked me up!

But hey, look at the bright side: since we're all doomed anyway, at least now we all won't have to pay off our national debt. Party time! :hotcool:

Fix the environment because god won't do it?

Well, if god exists I say we fire him. Doesn't he come with a tag that says "protector" or some other rubbish? If there is a god he should be put on trial for his cruelty to the human race throughout history.

Who said that God endorsed democracy? The last guy who messed over his rights, ended up being moved to a job in the basement floor! :lol:

Lords Temporal, they are all from Gallifrey. If you want to know who the next Dr. Who will be, just do a search for the youngest. He's the one who dosen't know the ending yet.

Bet your bottom dollar
that tomorrow,
there'll be Sun!"

It seems the more shrill this becomes the less I believe it.

God has never been about happy endings. Twist endings, on the other hand...

I say you have a limited understanding of the matter...the Book ends with a New Jerusalem, a new heaven, a new earth.

I sense nothing religious here, just the same environmental guilt trip...

Agreed.

If there is a god he should be put on trial for his cruelty to the human race throughout history.

This cruelty throughout history is humanity doing unto others before it gets done unto them.

New Jerusalem

The Israelis haven't finished destroying the old one yet!

Very True.
Does this mean that respawning is a valid christian concept after all?

Gentiles, i.e., non-Jews.

Christianity doesn't cover video gaming concepts. I find your choice of words to be poor. If you actually meant either "resurrection" or "re-creation" then yes.
