Comment #310592 by Godfree Gordon on January 1, 2009 at 5:05 pm

What's become of that crispy bacon we had before the war, hey?

5. God No!

Comment #294432 by Godfree Gordon on December 1, 2008 at 4:11 am

Dear God,

Why didn't I foresee all the John Inman jibes?

6. God No!

Comment #294256 by Godfree Gordon on November 30, 2008 at 8:33 pm

I call myself "Free".

Has a better connotation than FreeThinker...free from dogma, free from religion, free from intolerance, free from liars, charlatans etc...

and just as homosexuals can come out and say they're "Gay" of "a Gay" let's proudly announce "I'm Free" or "I'm a Free"...

No offence to the brights - i think thats just a bit too condescending...

7. Darwin's specimens go on display

Comment #280578 by Godfree Gordon on November 7, 2008 at 9:47 pm

Can I just say to all y'all in the Northern Hemisphere that the whole of Australia is breathing a sigh of relief...you guys will want to get passports again I suspect :-)

8. Dole Ad Fabricates Audio Of Opponent Yelling 'There Is No God'

Comment #274101 by Godfree Gordon on October 29, 2008 at 3:53 pm

Where is "truth in advertising" when it comes to politics? I thought Australia was bad with pollies getting free kicks, but this is ridiculous.

9. Video Game Pulled Due to Qur'an Quotes

Comment #266819 by Godfree Gordon on October 19, 2008 at 5:46 pm

i.e. Dead Gods are OK

10. The Joke's on Him: Bill Maher could use a lesson in civility from Michael Moore

Comment #265385 by Godfree Gordon on October 16, 2008 at 3:16 pm

"Making fun of religious kitsch (people) is the easiest thing on earth"

"because that kitsch (those people) is an uglification of something beautiful (are a beautification of something ugly)"

11. The world according to Hitchens

Comment #255497 by Godfree Gordon on September 27, 2008 at 7:44 pm

A boundless intellect - he has and is

I agree with his reading of intellectual

12. Creationist Britain (would you Adam and Eve it?)

Comment #250057 by Godfree Gordon on September 19, 2008 at 12:03 am

"whole idea that there's a designer who gives unique gifts to everyone and they don't have to be perfect and how the media portray people"

yeah like Palins downs child, harlequin babies, conjoined twins and Vladimir Putin

"Caitlin's views were certainly formed, at least partly, by her father Wes, a pastor at the local church"

I hate brussel sprouts and so do my kids - no-one but me to blame there, not at least partly, but wholly (or holy if you're a pastor's daughter)

14. Turkey bans biologist Richard Dawkins' website

Comment #249261 by Godfree Gordon on September 17, 2008 at 10:55 pm

Yes Janus, not unlike those who claim criticism of Sarah Palin is "sexist".

15. Natural selection

Comment #247727 by Godfree Gordon on September 15, 2008 at 1:17 am

His stumbling upon his musical abilities in Black Books is still the funniest thing on Earth.

17. Palin: average isn't good enough

Comment #241649 by Godfree Gordon on September 3, 2008 at 12:45 am

Viewing this on my Chrome browser - very cool.

Anyhoo...I don't think the pro-Clintons would necessarily like Palin being the first female president and NOT elected - its enough to keep them honest methinks.

18. Gaming Evolves

Comment #241260 by Godfree Gordon on September 2, 2008 at 4:07 am

Popular Culture guys

This is the key to winning the minds of young IDers

CRUCIFIXION

When nails were used they were placed below the wrist - there is a carilagenous band around the wrist which "hangs" on the nail.

Makes a bit of a joke then about the stigmata...

21. Religion out of medicine, a new message for Ontario doctors

Comment #232167 by Godfree Gordon on August 17, 2008 at 6:48 pm

"a burden on physicians like myself to conform to a view that basically puts my conscience under somebody's else's power," said Dr. Leiva. "

Hey, Dr. Catholic, your conscience is already under someone elses power, baby.

How do they never see the idocrac of their commentary?

22. Judge says UC can deny class credit to Christian school students

Comment #229654 by Godfree Gordon on August 13, 2008 at 11:00 pm

Not Californian, therefore must be the former also! Hmmmmm....arse......

24. Charlie Brooker's screen burn

re
; davorg

"Make Me A Muslim" was broadcast last year.

Sorry, didnt see that over here in Oz - just made it up as I went along...:0

25. Charlie Brooker's screen burn

Comment #227848 by Godfree Gordon on August 10, 2008 at 10:54 pm

And in that equanimatable spirit of the UK, C4 will now also be producing a follow up series titled "Make mine a Muslim" in which disilliusioned evangelical Christian parents, who think their brand of Christianity doesnt go far enough, give over their Flanders-esque children to a gun totin' Imam for the ultimate in Extreme Makeover shows.

26. Novel on prophet's wife pulled for fear of backlash

Comment #227384 by Godfree Gordon on August 9, 2008 at 7:28 pm

robotaholic

well...yeah...duh

thats a given - but apart from that what have the Romans ever done for us?

29. Embracing goodness, without God

Comment #223920 by Godfree Gordon on August 3, 2008 at 5:48 pm

Why do newspapers/braodcasters lump religion and ethics together under the same masthead?

In Australia our National Government Broadcaster, the ABC, does the same thing, and it annoys the shit out of me, cos invariable it is written/hosted by a happy clapper

Where does it say that religion has the mortage on ethics?

Time to write a letter to the editor...

30. A cast-iron case for a secular society

Comment #223919 by Godfree Gordon on August 3, 2008 at 5:43 pm

Fanusi

What happens to a Gay-Muslim who says Islam is anti-gay?

Does he disappear up his own arsehole?

33. Red hot enlightenment led me to believe in one fewer god

Comment #217888 by Godfree Gordon on July 24, 2008 at 6:25 pm

Laurie

Donger is the mainstream term for pen-s as in "dry as a dead dingo's donger"

34. Red hot enlightenment led me to believe in one fewer god

Comment #217880 by Godfree Gordon on July 24, 2008 at 6:20 pm

Shaden - aussie words

Blinders = Blinkers
Blinkers = Trafficators (30 yrs ago) = Indicators now

Rod

Farmer = Cockie
Cockatoo = Cockie
Confident = Cockie
Cockroach = Cockie
Cockroach = someone from New South Wales

35. Escape or betrayal.

Comment #217848 by Godfree Gordon on July 24, 2008 at 5:46 pm

Border Collie and iblesen

The more I read the more I understand that these systems of mysogyny pre-date Islam/Judaism/Christianity. (For some good reads try also Elephant Walk and The Bookseller of Kabul as well of course as Ayaan Hirsi Ali). But as always, the opportunist religions will adopt any control system to suit their means and ends.

The Koraniacs therefore are just doing as the Mor(m)ons do and the Jews do.

For us middle aged white folk its like trying to understand the horrors of the Great Wars never having been in one, or lived through their consequences. We can easily say "just leave".

Try leaving Earth, and living on the Moon.

Lets take Rods lead and come up with some strategies to help.

36. Nine face stoning death in Iran

Comment #214636 by Godfree Gordon on July 20, 2008 at 5:55 pm

Village Idiot

Time didnt stop a millenium ago in Iran.

Persia until very recently was a well educated, advancing society, until of course the Koraniacs took over.

Iran has invented time travel - they've gone back to the turn of the last millenium :-)

38. Host Desecration is Old Anti-Semitic Nonsense

Comment #210060 by Godfree Gordon on July 13, 2008 at 8:31 pm

To the owner/manager,

I have copied an email sent to a prominent scientist by someone at your business whose email is mkroll@1800flowers.com.

I trust this will be of interest to you.

39. New legal threat to school science in the US

Comment #207300 by Godfree Gordon on July 9, 2008 at 1:21 pm

Hey, y'all over there in the States.

Murder is a crime - so is attempted murder. Same too for robbery and attempted robbery.

From here downunder it would appear a imple fix for ACLU or someone to propose a bill that makes "attempted" NON separation of church and state a crime - so as soon as one of your so far clever judges, smells the ID rat for what it is some smart DA can then prosecute for the attempt...

Worth a shot?

Ooroo

41. Harper says new mosque shows 'the true and benevolent face of Islam'

Comment #205220 by Godfree Gordon on July 6, 2008 at 9:18 pm

Let them form as many splinter groups as the Christians have and they'll be less and less relevant with each schism.

42. When too much Rapture is barely enough

Comment #204797 by Godfree Gordon on July 5, 2008 at 7:03 pm

This is OLD news - from "the God who wasnt there" DVD....can we please stop posting old stuff - I have enough trouble keeping up with everything on this site!

43. Former state science director sues over intelligent design e-mail

Comment #203376 by Godfree Gordon on July 2, 2008 at 6:27 pm

We should start organising debates between IDers and other relgious freaks - atheists could just stand back and watch it all implode...

44. Muslims outraged at police advert featuring cute puppy sitting in policeman's hat

Comment #203370 by Godfree Gordon on July 2, 2008 at 6:05 pm

You have got to be joking. The UK is going to hell in a handbasket even quicker than the US. Hello! Wake up! Your politeness will see you seceding from the West in a generation.

45. Common New Atheist Fallacies

Comment #200565 by Godfree Gordon on June 27, 2008 at 10:43 pm

WARNING: Just finished all 4 of these and I'm sorry to say that's 20 minutes of my short life I wont be getting back.

46. Rare dinosaur mummy's arm and tail unveiled

Comment #194682 by Godfree Gordon on June 17, 2008 at 7:28 am

One of the advantages of living in Australia, apart from sun, sand, surf and space, is if you're tooling around on your computer at 11:59pm on July 17th its only 7:29am in Britain on the same day. And therefore you get first log.

47. Rapture site sends unbelievers their last chance ... via email

Comment #194680 by Godfree Gordon on June 17, 2008 at 7:23 am

"run by a small team of Christians who must log on every day to indicate that the rapture has not yet taken place. If enough of them fail to log in, however, the system assumes that the second coming is nigh and sends out messages from all its subscribers"

48. Logical Proof of the Existence of a Divine Creator, Why Atheism is Not Logically Sound

Comment #190936 by Godfree Gordon on June 10, 2008 at 12:46 am

Sure this wasnt written in Switzerland? His cheese has so many holes...

It used to be self evdent that the Sun rotated around the Earth too.

And where are the other references to other laws of thermo dynamics - nothing new under the sun - translated - theres a sucker born every day.

50. Senate bill allows display of Lord's Prayer, 10 Commandments

Comment #186621 by Godfree Gordon on May 30, 2008 at 9:22 pm

All of these logs are now historical documents and I'd like them to be displayed alongside the 10 commandments. Along with the Book of Mor(m)on (historical document) and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (historical document) and my fifth grade report card where I got all the Cs and a couple of Bs (historical document).

My letter of resignation from this crazy world isn't written yet (not historical yet) and so I don't need that displayed.
