I first encountered the Sinners and Winners scouse preacher man on the Northern Line about a year ago. He was walking along asking people if they were ‘believers’ and when they said ‘No’ or ignored him he told them they were going to hell. I am a Christian, so when he asked me if I was a bel...

I saw 2 priests in white clothing waving musical instruments in front of a new car, can anyone shed more light on this and which religion this is….? I think it is some kind of ‘ceremony’ to keep the drivers safe. It was really weird though! What is it called?

I’ve noticed recently that there seem to be more people reading either the Bible or the Koran than any other book on London’s transport. This worries me. I wanted to mention it here – I’ve been thinking about it the last few days. Then I realised that what i find even more disturbing is th...

It’s a heavy subject I know, but I’m vaguely interested to know how many FCLers follow a religion of any sort. I myself was brought up as a godless heathen, but I’ve spent some time exploring Buddhism recently. I’m not nearly organised enough to follow it properly but I’m a little bit of a Dhama bum I guess. ...

I was walking along Tottenham Court Road yesterday after work when a friend and I were accosted by a Scientology… Freak. They have been setting up tables in streets for the last couple of years, selling their ‘bible’ to passers by. They have clearly been so successful, that they now have a branch dedicated to this p...

Put to one side for the blatent Big Bro bigots and join me for some better contro closer to home. This week’s Time Out includes an article on what London would look like under an Islamic government.

We were reminded of this age-old dilemma whilst reading the tragic tale of this young lady, a Jehovah’s Witness who may or may not have died because of refusing a blood transfusion, and we thought we’d put it to the test. So imagine the scene: you’ve just left the last tube in some underground station or other an...

By now the inhabitants of the square mile and canary wharf must be feeling pretty fed up, pilloried, dissed, widely blamed for all the ills of the world. Anyone feel sorry for them? even a little bit? do you think some ducks would cheer them up, now the bulls and bears have all run to the hills with our pension fund...
