To think EVERYONE knows the Lords Prayer and the National Anthem right ?

[Vanillamanilla1]

Apparently my husband Dosent and " why would I "
And the Lords Prayer is " all brainwashing bollox anyway " along with his theory That the christian church and the Catholic church are brainwashing bollox that sacrifice goats
I'm actually very disappointed in him
the Lords Prayer was said in primary school by the majority of primary school pupils right ? It was as commonplace as singing hymns
Admittedly I don't know the WHOLE of the National Anthem but I know the first verse at least
I find his attitude just fucking pig ignorant and down right rude
He's 46 years old for Christ sakes he's not 20 where it's probably not the done thing now

OK, I know I said I know the first few verses of the National Anthem.
I've just put this to the test and attempted to sing it.
I do know the first two verses but there's several "mumble mumble blah blah" gaps. Whoops.
As for the Lord's Prayer - yep, still know that word perfect even though haven't recited for years!
Lord of The Dance - last sang that about 30 years ago and yep, that's all up there word perfect too! The things the brain retains, eh.

I can do the lord's prayer and a few other hymns. Only know the first 2 lines of national anthem.

So the op has vanished then?
I know the lords prayer ( not the debt one) but no idea about the national anthem ( probably know the american one better).
What's age got to do with it?

zukie he's okaaay. I'd be pleasantly surprised if my electrician looked like that but he wouldn't set my loins alight exactly. I'll keep the first guy you posted. You can keep Michael and the second two blokes.

'Have seen several posters saying they know different versions of the gods prayer. How is this possible? I thought he wrote them down on stone and gave them to Noah before flooding the world. Aren't the words literally set in stone?'

No.

The Lord's Prayer comes from the gospels. There are two different versions of it, in two different gospels (Matthew and Luke maybe?). If Jesus actually ever said either version, he said them in Aramaic. They are written in the gospels in Greek. The different versions in English are obviously all translations, and can be translated in slightly different language from each other. Also, the Anglicans added a bit on the end that wasn't in the gospels at all.

The stone bit you are referring to is the Ten Commandments.

I can do my primary school creed too. Are they all the same? DS's is the same as mine

I don't even know how I know which song the National Anthem is, probably from watching British people win at the Olympics.

I generally hate sport but I've still seen various Olympic bits, but this thread suggests that many people have never seen an Olympic medal awarded to a British person.

The Anglican creed has two extra words in it from the Catholic one.

I assume many denominations don't have the creed.

My longest ever thread on here was about the Lord's Prayer and the alternative wording we learned in school (forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors)! I remember that Agent The Scottish version.

The Lord's Prayer
King James Version (KJV)

9 Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Lord, grant that Marshal Wade,
May by thy mighty aid,
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush,
and like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Scots to crush,
God save the King.

Goes down well in Scotland

Don't know the National Anthem, because I'm Catholic of Irish heritage, and my parents weren't keen on the monarchy. (I've a suspicion that I wasn't allowed to join Brownies because of the pledge you have/had to make to the Queen).

I'm the only one in my family who knows the lords prayer. I don't know how DH escaped it but DD is home-ed so she's never heard of Jesus....

squoosh

Ok, deal!

I come from a multicultural, multiheritage family and know the words to GSTQ, The Lords Prayer, Land of Hope and Glory, Rule Britannia (including the verses)... But really everything pales in significance to the wonderful Jerusalem and Who would true valour see.

I love the fact that one of the most famous English songs is an anti-establishment, non-conformist, call to arms to create a utopia in place of greed and slums and heavy polluting industrialisation, written by a mystic who spent all his days in his garden shed and once saw an angel in a tree on Peckham Rye.

Jerusalem is the ultimate QTWTAIN.

I know The Lord's Prayer.

Don't have any use for what is basically the English National Anthrm.

Anthem

Didn't know any of that about Jerusalem! Off I go to educate myself, sounds interesting...

I don't know either they are both brain washing bollocks imho

Riiiiiight.

My kids have never even heard of Jesus let alone the Lord's prayer or GSTQ... they are not pig ignorant though, just not indoctrinated either.
