Also when bragging about achievements, USA has a population greater than the combined population of the UK, Germany, france, spain and italy.
and without calculating you could prabably add belgium and the Netherlands too.

Mandelas terrorism was good in the same way the allied invasion of france was ok. No more, no less.
But as you suggest, morality is not black and white.

Sex scandal, what sex scandal?
He did not have sex with that woman.
He merely allowed her to perform fellatio, and then ejaculted over her dress. Honestly you people see sex in everything. Dirtyminds the lot of you.

Perhaps the next beyond belief convention should be in the local Abbey, I am sure that will be ok.

Is there written evidence for Mithra and if so where?
Which part of the Rig veda is this Mithras charachter in Alun. I would love to read it.

I have just read some of it. I think I'll pass.
It makes the koran look like a good read.

No mention of virgin births or ressurections, just nonsense hymns.

Comment #243706 by the great teapot on September 7, 2008 at 2:46 am

What did he teach?
RE perhaps.

Is it just me or is debating with likes of Pietha deadly dull.
I mean, in response to the person who said he gave up believing in god at 5 when he realised god would also require a creator Pietha replies "so you don't believe in the Universe then."
No that's right Pietha, he probably doesn't believe in the universe he can see, hear, smell and touch. For fecks sake. What is the point in debating the deluded.

Haven't seen Hot fuzz but shaun of the dead is classic small screen british that should have stayed small screen.

For me what makes Python unique is that it is the only British comedy which is actually better (x1000) on the big screen.
Splitting heirs aside.
My favourite British movie is Withnail and I.
Does that count as a comedy?- Please don't judge me.

There are only 3 jokes in the world.

2, Familiarity - where eveyone recognizes a fundamental truth , hitherto unnoticed.

and finally

3, There are 2 nuns in a bath one says to the other "Where's the soap"

You would have thought after she had agreed to be on his show he would have been more respectful to her. I mean how was she to know the well known satirist would take such a tone with a secularist.
Oh for Petes sake, it is comedy. I laughed many a time, even forewarned by Richards comments.
Now the dead parrot sketch and the goons that's unfunny shit.
I found his response to her suggesting Picasso was an atheist inspired artist priceless, and the war on terror being a product of divine inspiration comment made me chuckle.
If he isn't an atheist he is acutely aware of the stupidity of theology.

Is Richard really suggesting we are just apes.
Outrageous
How can anybody look at all those primitive animals with their two eyes, and two hands and two feet and two nostrils and single heart and liver and 5 digits on the end of each limb, and all that crazy hair over their bodies, etc, etc, etc and see a similarity is beyond me.
You might as well say we are related to dogs or mice with their two eyes and two hands and two feet ....

Good point, if it were true it would be undesirable, which is obviously unthinkable, therefore it can not be true. One can not argue with such flawless logic:)

Comment #235133 by the great teapot on August 22, 2008 at 1:06 pm

I have just watched the 1st episode again, and at no point does Richard suggest IN THE CLASS that evolution debunks God, it is some of the pupils who suggest that a belief in god is incompatible with religion, and therefore evolution is not true. Richard merely tries to convince them that any evidence against evolution in the bible (ie none) should be weighed up with the evidence for evolution. Of course we only see the editors cut, Richard may have called Mohamed, piss be upon him, a paedophile off camera and told the kids that if their parents believed the shite in the holy books they were a can short of a 4 pack.
edit- make that 4 cans.
