;)Keep up, I am on the record in this thread as stating that both Christianity and Judaism have evolved and do allow 'progress' within themselves. Still irrational, and selling snake oil, but not weighed down with barbaric baggage from the past. (obviously excluding the Jewish demands for genital mutilation of babies and inhumane animal slaughter)

Religion is being shrugged off as its absurdity becomes obvious to more people, to paraphrase Holbach, ignorance of nature created religions understanding of nature destroys it. And that is accelerating, but only where religious dogma is not forced into children. But its adverse influence is still very much present and acting as a brake on many things that need changing; one of the worst here and now is its opposition to the right to die by assisted suicide.

I could very well end up as a bloke on a street corner yelling at embarrassed passers-by about political matters; but I'd never descend to the stupidity of superstitions and invisible friends - that would just be too embarrassing.


As I wrote above, the protections were always there in the Common Law, the HRA just made them more obvious and, for some anyway, more profitable... (y)

Several points to consider sir;

My choices regarding my children having nothing to do with you.
If you think ‘debate‘ includes slinging insults at people because they don’t agree with you, then maybe your wasted here.
Ranting isn’t what I’M doing……
Reading things properly before ‘responding’ might be a problem for some.
Nothing for me to consider. Talk to your child's school if you don't like what she is being taught by a Muslim.

Indeed. The lowest common denominator, of dog whistle politics, disguised by a thin veneer of faux respectability. The Farage type politics and dog whistling. The tune to which wistful gammons danced, to which the Daily Wail reading, by products of Britains failing school system danced. The tune to which the Tufton St influence old boy Etonian network clapped.

You should have a read of the history of Lebanon. Why was there mass Muslim immigration? The Jews came and created Israel displacing and stealing the homes and land of the Palestinians who ended up in refugee camps in Lebanon waiting to go home to farms and houses now occupied by Jewish settlers.
I'm merely using it as an illustration of what happens when there is mass muslim immigration into a Christian country, not a discussion of the reasons or rights and wrongs of that immigration.

Lebanon wasn’t a Christian country it had a mix of people. The big problem really came in 1975 with the influx of a lot of PLO fighters with guns. These weren’t economic migrants they were at lot of very angry people with nowhere to go. They didn’t go to Lebanon to drive buses or fix mobile phones. They ended up in squalid camps . because they’d lost everything. I don’t disagree with the fact that allowing mass immigration of people with a totally different culture to the indigenous population will cause issues.

Indeed, humans are tribal.
They seek means to identify themselves as part of a group, if one is not obvious it can be invented hence religion etc

I'll either be burnt and go to dust, or rot in a hole in the ground and that will be an end to me other than what works and memories in others I leave behind - just like everyone and everything else that lives, and dies. (y)

Religion is about control. Islam is most certainly a religion of control. Once Muslims have a choice the Imans lose control . Back them into a corner and you make them stronger. It’s a bit like Christianity once the bible got printed into other languages other than Latin people could make up their own minds rather than having someone explaining it and putting their own slant on it.

Dont worry about it but not having your papers in order when approaching the Pearly gates could see you housed in an ayslum seekers camp while you petition St Peter requesting entry ....
Your Angel advocate will be trying to make a strong case based on your " good " life .
Protesters will of course be demanding that you be sent directly to hell ..
The Devil will be claiming that you owe him for breach of contract ...
Probably take about 10,000 years to sort out ...
Sound Familiar ?? ;) ;);)

Just noticed this... how utterly predictable, and a manifest lie - post links to anything I have written that claims white supremacy, go on, do it... but you won't because you can't. You'll claim you can't be bothered, or that 'it's obvious', but you'll adduce nothing, because you can't.

I advocate all people being treated equally and given the same rights and privileges, and held to the same standards, regardless of race. I've stated this before and you won't find anything from me to contradict this.

The reality is that you are conflating race and religion - in this case Islam - as you have done when the subject of Israel has been discussed. And the reason you do so here, and write that rather unpleasant lie about me, is because you have nothing else to offer.

In your contributions to this thread you have disagreed with much, but you haven't been able to disprove any of it, because you can't, because facts are facts. And so you throw out the sort of rubbish above and hope it sticks, that's your sort.

So again, I challenge you to adduce things that I have written that will prove your slur, you have written it so flag up the evidence to support it.

Fairy stories are now of very little relevance, when we are dead they are utterly irrelevant...

I go by the ethics that a common humanism requires or, more accurately, engenders. Other than spells / prayers, odd ceremonies and daft rules about what not to eat, control over one's own body etc., I doubt you'll find my ethical outlook any different to the great majority of Christians - and yet it is entirely rationally derived.

Heard of Leigh Hunt...?

Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase!)
Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace,
And saw, within the moonlight in his room,
Making it rich, and like a lily in bloom,
An angel writing in a book of gold:—
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold,
And to the presence in the room he said,
"What writest thou?"—The vision raised its head,
And with a look made of all sweet accord,
Answered, "The names of those who love the Lord."
"And is mine one?" said Abou. "Nay, not so,"
Replied the angel. Abou spoke more low,
But cheerly still; and said, "I pray thee, then,
Write me as one that loves his fellow men."
The angel wrote, and vanished. The next night
It came again with a great wakening light,
And showed the names whom love of God had blest,
And lo! Ben Adhem's name led all the rest.


;)




Edit to add: this is not an early advocacy of general homosexuality but, rather, one of being generally decent to others. :)

It really hurts to have anyone disagree with you doesn’t it? All of your posts are of the ‘Look at me I’m much cleverer than all of you’ type Discussing anything with you and your sort leavrs a bad taste in my mouth so i’d rathet not. However if people like you are allowed to spread their poison unoppossed it’s a bad thing so i’ll just perservere.

Me and my sort...? :ROFLMAO:

Read your own post you bloody fool... someone you disagree with, but that you can't disprove the arguments of, you traduce... you are a liar and a hypocrite, and utterly cowardly to throw such things around without having the courage to even try to back them up..

I'm am certainly more clever than some... I am also as clever as some, and I am less so than others, and this goes for everyone else here on the forum and in the World. Your problem is not really with that, it is with the fact that you disagree and are unable to advocate a credible alternative.

Again, you can't offer anything to support your case, so it's more lies... come on, if I am what you claim you should find it easy to demonstrate the truth of it, but you don't. You have been repeatedly asked to substantiate you accusations, but you don't, because you can't. Specify the 'poison' you attribute to me, give us links, do it now why don't you?

But no, you take the common course of liars and cowards nowadays, you throw unsupported names around because you have nothing else. And you claim some sort heroic status... ffs, you're a joke.

You are clever enough, to believe Liz Truss is clever.

No, not really, I have spent a large part of my life dealing with liars making demonstrably false claims.

When I was green that did, I admit, used to annoy sometimes; but that went pretty quickly, and was replaced by the pleasure in either exposing them or watching them make fools of themselves by running away from trying to prove their lies. The only difference is that here on TFF, unlike in the Courts, there is no independent arbiter to force the liar to come up to proof, which is what you play on.

I call for you to prove what you claim, you just keep running away from doing so... which says it all. :)

The more you post the more you show yourself up. You don’t want a discussion you want everyone to acquiesce to your point of view. Should anybody disagree with you your first response is to insult.
