The Dispossed, pay no rent and for why?

@TimMars66 Tell that to the pope.

When one of the Underground Railroad conductors was confronted by a racist mob and asked why he didn't obey the law of the land (at the time), and return an escaped slave to be flogged by a southern cracker, the reply from the good Quaker was
"I don't fear your law or mob, I only fear god"
Hey, stop knockin' Christians. Some of my best friends are Christians! Just cause the Church can make hideous mistakes, doesn't say anything against Christians...

Take a history lesson. "In London the brothels of Southwark were owned by the Bishop of Winchester." The Church made big money from rents in the Middle Ages.

@TimMars66 I'm glad you said that man. I'm a Naturalist rather than an athiest but... that was a very cool thing you said.

@TimMars66 "Lords" refers to the british Lords, ie landowners. Not to christ or religion at all. And who pays rent to bishops anyway?

@grumpface It does indeed! Nice place Todmorden. But lets be honest its a town where there is only really two surnames. I got driven out of Walsden because I wasnt called Fielden!

he digger spirit lives on in Todmorden

A fragment of hope in these dark times. Rock on Billy.

As a Christian, I agree with you. God gives us a brain to work out how to live and doesn't expect people to follow him from blind obedience or fear of damnation. Many atheists are more 'Christ-like' than some Christians.

Wonderful to see Billy at Greenbelt (The largest Christian festival in the UK). He's a fan of Joe Hill, Utah Philips, etc; in the US who spent their lives as Union organisers helping the poor and as Christian Anarchists. Do look up Joe at Wikipedia (He wrote There Is Power In A Union) and Christian Anarchy: not everyone in the US thinks about social justice the same way!
Petr Chelčický, the 15th century Bohemian anarchist and pacifist said
The man who obeys God needs no other authority.
