I do that too. Occasionally I forget where I was actually going or walk into people

And what “good” would that be exactly, Alexander? I have visited their appalling website and it is full of the usual bigotted, archaic, xenophobic, homophobic views that we more civilized members of society have come to expect from the religious right. Perhaps you think that a return to the morality of the Middle Ages would be just the thing for Great Britain, but I beg to differ. They are lauding a narrow-minded teacher who walked out of a staff training session because the leader was (in his view) “promoting homosexuality”. (Presumably they were all being forced to have gay sex on a regular basis, whether they liked it or not!) Not only had he broken his contract by the action he took, but he is obviously not fit to teach children in the Twenty-first Century. However, thanks to the Christian Legal Centre, and a lot of threatening noises concerning his “human rights” and further costly legal action, the bigot has been reinstated. If gay students had THEIR “human rights” respected properly they would not be left in the charge of arrogant retards like himself!!

Actually, I researched what CCFON do for some time and have to admit that they have done much good to this country, apart from the great speakers I have listened who spoke on behalf of CCFON. The above article is shallow and does not represent their real work and commitments.

I listen to the podcast as I’m walking to work. I was wetting myself.

Christian Concern for our Nation quoted in 2006 after the defeat of the Religious Hatred Bill:

“… the Lords’ version was a dramatic improvement in the protection of the uninhibited freedom for Christians to preach the Gospel.”

Why do these fundie fringe-groups ALWAYS think that uninhibited freedom of speech should apply only to them?

Hear hear. I love how these people apparently still haven’t learned that (figuratively) erecting a huge neon sign saying “UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WATCH/LISTEN TO/READ THIS, ESPECIALLY ALL THE TITS, SWEARING AND BLASPHEMY” in front of anything they disapprove of may not, in fact, be a winning strategy in the war on free expression.

Also, seconded on the arse.

Being deliberately ironic with the “amen” there, I assume?

Salaam.

Amen to that, Tom.

Yes once again the followers of JC have scored an own goal by drawing attention to this amusing rant. They also once again have demonstrated their complete ignorance of the contents of the Bible. Or maybe they actually do know what is in it but they don’t want a vulnerable audience to find out.

As for the Koran, apparently as an unbeliever I am to have boiling water poured over me until my skin peels off and I am then to be given a new skin so that I can have my skin boiled off again. This I am repeatedly, and I mean REPEATEDLY, told, is because Allah is oft forgiving, most merciful. I have some difficulty getting my head around just how stupid you have to be to believe something like that.

Now I think that I will scroll back up and have just one more look at that fantastic bottom.

I find it really depressing how a liberal Radio 4 audience, after applauding Brigstocke’s comments on the Bible, become audibly very uneasy when he does the same for the Koran. We have to get over this idea that Islam is somehow more deserving of “respect” than any other religion. Tolerance and multiculturalism doesn’t mean letting people get away with preaching any kind of hateful old nonsense without ever challenging them on it. Sigh.
