I'm glad if they think it's being pushed out of public life, becasue it so blatantly should be.

Wipe the floor wih the sheep-faced loon, Richard.

You're havin' a laugh.

Now get back on topic about these monomaniacal swivel-eyed loons without whom society would be a poorer (surely 'better' - Ed) place..

It appears incitement to hatred more than just free speech in this particular case. Repeated harassment on the street. If they'd strung the preachers up with piano wire, that would certainly be over the top, but a robust talking to about decent behaviour certainly doesn't go amiss. Prosecution, that depends on the circumstances. I find myself having little sympathy with such crackpots. Probably means I'm a dangerous fascist or something, or maybe I know that haranguing people and hurling verbal threats and abuse at them the street is just not cricket.

This must be more of that sophisticated theology that we don't understand.

What a bunch of nobbers.

Run a mile from them. I didn't.

People vote for these assclowns? You need a new people.

I bet they even oppose dogging.

Excellent, all round.

The Daily Mail. That well known brand of toilet tissue.

Assclown of the month award, more like.

Seems reasonable to me. The author of the pathetic letter was an assclown and he deserved an award for it.

Quite frankly, if someone tells you to walk off a cliff, don't be surprised when you crash on the rocks below.

Empathy, yes, but sympathy, somewhat limited.

I have much more sympathy for the millions starving in Africa.

If you can logically deduce that a universe came from 'nothing', then you can equally as logically deduce that the idea of a universe coming from absolutely nothing is actually an extremely stupid idea.

And yet, it must have done so, for it exists.

That which can be derived via reason can be refuted via reason.

Not if your reasoning is wrong.

I don't even see why a jury is necessary. Surely all that is required is a judge who silently waits on the truth, purely sitting and breathing in the presence of a question mark?

Presumably whilst stroking his beard, railing against teh gayz and drawing a salary of £80,000pa

What happens when a sackful of idiots vote, is that they vote for the biggest idiot.

You had your chance, America. You blew it.

Darwin Award.

Bunch of idiots.

Ooh, get her!!!

Highly thought provoking.

Sorry Irate! I seem to have been stealing your thunder!

Just don't steal my Stilton, that's all I ask.

Sounds like a load of shite.

There is nothing I could say about Rick Santorum that would not be construed as soliciting violence against Rick Santorum, so I shall say nothing.

lol!!

Excellent parody of the kind of stupid thinking that the religious use. Especially liked:

I am not here to be an advocate for any religion but can conveniently say that among all religions, Hinduism is the one that offers clear insights into the spiritual side of life.

wtf? Are you alright, old chap? Should someone call for a doctor?

“I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.” ― Hunter S. Thompson

The fact that he is a Mormon, should make him a laughing stock. That it is regarded as his greatest asset, shows how deep this shit-creek is.

Although it is interesting to note that the OT does claim that anyone who rejects biblical morality and decides to live by their own sense of right and wrong will be afflicted with every curse and punishment written in the book. I'm feeling un-smote, how about you?

I've just broken wind in a small windowless office. Does that count?

If this is the level of political debate in your country, you guys are so far up shit creek, no paddle could possibly save you.

It is?

Oh, well, you've had it.

Read, 'The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire' by Gibbon, for the end-game.

It's not very pretty.
