Like, if it isn't a charity, why is it accepting "donations"? http://christianvoicequestions.blogspot.com/ I think some of the press should start asking questions about Christian Voice..

That is irritating. So a harmonised singing of 'Fuck' by, say, 30 people, is 30 offences to the delicate ears of these fools??? Incidentally, I remember anachist group CRASS had some trouble with the blasphemy laws in the late 70s. A song called 'Reality Asylum' off their 1st LP. I don't know if they were actually prosecuted, but the track was left off the first pressing of the album, replaced by a few minutes of silence entitled 'The Sound of Free Speech'. The blasphemous track has long since been re-instated. The lyrics are kind of fun, in a completely over the top way. “The total number of obscenities is calculated by multiplying the number of swear-words by the number of people singing them.”

I rather like what AC Grayling had to say on this recently that after Millenia of Green's ancestors killing and ostracising my ancestors, the tables have turned in the last couple of hundred years or so. The difference is that secuarlists don't go around killing relgious folk with gay abandon.
