1. Prayer to feed the hungry

Comment #190443 by joeyoap on June 9, 2008 at 5:33 am

You may as well rely on prayer as companies like Monsanto to feed the worlds hungry.They have only one concern-bottom line profit.Because the farmers have to buy suicide seed every year they get further and further into debt and are forced to plant ever more cash crops for the western market and less of the food needed to feed themselves.
I wouldn't trust global corporations to solve hunger problems anymore than I would George Bush to bring about world peace.

2. British Airways takes beef off the menu to avoid offending Hindus

Comment #178179 by joeyoap on May 10, 2008 at 5:49 pm

Do you really all read the usual anti-anyone not white,middle class,English that that poor excuse for a newspaper writes and just take it at face value?Seems like a bit of good old fashioned racism to me,or at least a bit of bandwagon jumping in order to promote their right-wing agenda.There are enough genuine examples of bending over backwards for religion to get on your high horses about without finding phoney ones in that piece of crap.

They actually did put them in a bed.That is about as barking as it gets.

4. Launch of 'Atheists in Foxholes' Book Anthology

Most of the friends I have that joined the military when we were growing up didn't do it out of any loyalty to a flag or any of that BS they did it because in the north of England in the early 80's it was that or the dole.

5. A Letter From Hell

Comment #116049 by joeyoap on January 25, 2008 at 11:50 am

Shown this as a child I would of wet myself laughing(at the acting as much as the sentiment).I can't see this crap working on anyone except the already indoctrinated.

6. Top 10 Reasons to Believe Logic Over Religion

Comment #114929 by joeyoap on January 23, 2008 at 7:39 am

Why can't some of you just enjoy things for what they are instead of picking to pieces anything that doesn't live up to your high minded thinking.It's that very intellectual snobbery that turns so many people off reading forums such as these.As soon as someone posts something that doesn't live up to your standards you tear it to shreds.Just chill out and have a beer and a laugh occasionally.

Apologies for posting from the ever annoying youtube but this one is definitely worth it.

8. The Group Delusion

Comment #112461 by joeyoap on January 17, 2008 at 7:10 am

As a recent arrival on these forums I already find it incredible that anybody even bothers trying to convince wooter of anything-ignore him and he will eventually go away.

Well who could have dreamt that American politics could get any more ludicrous.It would be hilarious if it wasn't for the fact that enough idiots will vote for him.

11. Pope's exorcist squads will wage war on Satan

Dr Benway it scares the crap out of me too.Sounds like inquisition to me.

12. Richard Dawkins on 'Have Your Say'

Comment #104859 by joeyoap on December 29, 2007 at 6:48 pm

Jon-Nobody has to suffer the religious shows that infect the airwaves because of an amazing censorship device known as the TV remote control.I do occasionally tune in though for comedy value.

13. Taking children for a ride

Living in the NW as I do I would have to visit what sounds like the comedy event of the century.

14. Survey finds most Americans believe Jesus born of virgin

15. Interview with Richard Dawkins: On Christmas

Comment #102149 by joeyoap on December 21, 2007 at 7:17 pm

It seems like a lot of handwringing going on here.A general rule of thumb should be if you find it offensive don't sing it otherwise who gives a damn.If I feel like singing a carol(though I don't see the urge arriving anytime soon)I will and I really don't care what anybody thinks.My biggest problem with christmas in general is that my kids bankrupt me every year for a load of plastic crap.

16. The Pagan Christ

Comment #102145 by joeyoap on December 21, 2007 at 6:43 pm

To me it doesn't matter wether Jesus was real or not.It boils down to wether I believe in god/gods sons of god miracles tarot cards runestones or any other assorted gobbledegook.So who cares if he existed or not because even if he did he was no miracle worker.In 2000 years people will probably worship one of our times self proclaimed messiahs like for instance David Koresh but it doesn't make them messiahs.
PS apologies for the lack of comma's the key seems to have broken.

17. Good God! A politician who doesn't believe...

Comment #101911 by joeyoap on December 21, 2007 at 6:32 am

Well I think being asked if you believe in god may be a relevant question if your interview is for archbishop of canterbury.

18. Do the laws of God trump those of man?

I'm with you allan.Why waste your energy on someone you will never convince.

19. Clegg 'does not believe in God'

Comment #101077 by joeyoap on December 19, 2007 at 7:23 pm

When he was aked the question and said "no" he probably thought straight away something along the lines of "bugger thats all them wavering tory votes down the pan-a bit of backtracking might be in order here or my jobs on the line".You might think it spineless he probably thought it expedient.

20. Creationists plan British theme park

Comment #99602 by joeyoap on December 17, 2007 at 6:56 am

What scares me the most isn't the idea of the theme park but the fact that these people are already peddling the creation myth in our schools and trying to pass it off as science.
