Of course it does.



We are made in the image of God.

You didn't see Vanessa Feltz dressed as Cher on Saturday night did you? That is what I thought the thread title was referring to. You can't poke out your Mind's Eye, unfortunately!

... and we are supposed to venerate this deity who is wicked, vengeful and self-righteous?
I'll pass on that, thanks.

Does that apply to mortals as well as deities?

Can I just check,
this is indignant anger about a report about something that may happen in the future?

Right, I'm in. Who's dishing out the pitchforks and can I bring a burning brand on the Outrage Bus?

*walks away shaking head*

So your a Christian? Yet you have a problem with the BBC supporting a group of people who get abused, both physically and mentally?

Wow! Its no wonder religion is on the downslide if it has people like you in its fold.

You won't need those things. Just a bible and the good lord on your righteous side.

Well we haven't heard the program yet and all that article says is thisI know most of you will not agree with me, but after Leveson, Saville and now this, is it finally time to bin the BBC? If not, can it be morally justified for Christian license-payers to refuse to pay up?'"

What an utterly ludicrous proposition!

1. Jesus' dad sent him here to suffer precisely this pre-ordained fate. None of the players had a choice, the script was written by your god.

2. I could list a hundred far worse acts of evil within a minute, without even thinking about it.
The Holocaust?
The Great Chines famine? (45 MILLION est. dead)
The My Lai massacre?
Dunblane?
Gassing of the Kurds?
The Somme?
The 1099 siege of Jerusalem, where 70,000 inhabitants were all massacred in the name of Christ?


Er, basically was he not sentenced to death under the law of that particular land? Along with others?


Ludicrous. There is loads of stuff on the BBC that I don't agree with or am against. The answer is - don't watch it. Anyway the licence fee is for having TV receiving equipment. It is not pay per view, you'd have to pay even if you never switched your telly on.

Here's a rap song that rlour own, in-house fundamentalist would just lurve.rl

Although I'd add – consider what her upbringing must have been like: abuseive, as Richard Dawkins would suggest.

Actually, I'm going to lock this.

I'm not going to lock it because I have any desire to censor.

I'm going to lock it because Kirkstaller is a coward who poses deliberately inflammatory, bigoted posts and then runs away when it suits him and when he doesn't like the responses. Not one of our other trolls does this in the same way.

Kirkstaller doesn't set the rules here, although (as the OP shows) he tries. So if he wants to debate – that's fine. But he doesn't set the rules of debate either.
