Praise the lord!

Kumbaya m'lord, kumbaya!

Any posters who try to discredit my pastafarianism will all go to hell where the beer is stale and the strippers have VD.

His Noodly Goodness is watching you.

I think I've just proved it's impossible to have a rational conversation with LEAP (Well, we all knew that already) and this new franc hoggle character.

Tell me fran, how did you miss the bits mocking the white Jesus, churches behaving like record companies and kumbaya, and with quotes like this... 'What you have also *not* used is any actual valid, reasoned argument.' you may become my perfect straight man. You remind me of examinator.

Yes Poirot, that guy owes me a new keyboard.

Hey Poirot, am I speaking a different language? Or do people just pick out the bits of each post they don't like and go nuts, neglecting to read the bits where I also slam everyone on the other side of the argument?

I reckon I mocked both the religious and the Humanists in equal measure. It's so much fun to be attacked by the Nut Job Christians AND the loony left at the same time.

'But, yeah, Houellie, if it's that harmless (useless) why spend money on it that could be targeted toward a more relevant purpose?'

What's relevant? It's primary school. Colouring in and times tables. I never said I wanted to keep it, I just want to highlight the REAL motives of both sides. I'm not bovvered either way. I think really they should just send the kids home early so they can have sex before mum and dad get home.

PS: LEAP. It was well commented what Joooolia was talking about, and how many times do I have to say I support Gay marriage to not be labelled a homophobe by you and Ammonite? I hear by declare you immune to parody. I would have answered you on the other thread if I could decipher what you were talking about. Picture me on a bus next to a loony nodding and moving sideways.

I don't share Chrys's faith in the void of secularism. In secular countries like England, the US, and Canada, Christians are already being persecuted for their beliefs (including fines and prison).

Nature hates a vaccuum, so as we become more and more secular and religious people face increasing persecution, Chrys and his fellow secularists deserve to be reminded of the practical unjustness of their belief system constantly.

"In secular countries like England, the US"

It is polite, TRUTHNOW78, to provide some form of reference - such an a URL, or a quote from an article, that sort of thing - when making outrageously false statements.

>> In secular countries like England, the US, and Canada, Christians are already being persecuted for their beliefs (including fines and prison)<<

That enables anyone who cares, to find out where you dredged up such a bizarre interpretation of events.

Care to enlighten us?

Thought not.

OH COME ON PLEASE !!

Telling lies makes the baby Jesus cry :-(

The countries you state all have freedom of religion enshrined in their laws and it s unthinkable that anyone would be fined or placed in jail for their beliefs ( unless they instigated violence or hate )

I am guessing you are referring to so called Christians who used illegal hateful or discriminatory language or actions against others and who were found guilty of such actions in a court of law or legal tribunal.

Many Christians feel they are being persecuted when the law prevents them from persecuting others.

Please let me know if I am wrong I know thousands of atheists who would be willing to protest for the freedom of a christian who is persecuted for their beliefs.

Sadly I cannot say the same for christians they seem pretty unwilling to stand up for the rights freedoms and beliefs of anyone but themselves.

Beelzebubba,

Houellie is perhaps the most hilariously perceptive of the articulate posters on this forum - he adds another dimension and adores nothing more than puncturing the three p's - pretension, pomposity and piousness.

Added to that he he was on topic and made comments relevant to the discussion - what's yer beef?
