Mother Teresa

[jeremyp]

lying that there are people on here wanting no public or political forum for religion. What do you think the BHA and NSS are supporting and who don't you think supports their agenda on here.

You asserted that there were people on this board who took a Stalinist approach to secularism. You've been asked by Shaker and me to name these people and you have so far refused to do so.

The reason for your refusal is, of course, that you were mouthing off in that nasty reflexive way that you do and what you said was a lie. And you were too stupid to understand that you would be called out on it.

They suss out what the Pope wants them to say, usually yes, and deliver the required verdict in standard form.

Miracles are boringly similar nowadays.  The old mass-produced medieval saints were pretty formulaic, but they had a wider repertoire than modern ones.

I particularly like what St Thomas Aquinas did with those pilchards.

[Brownie]

Did he drope the can?

St Augustine's attitude towards those apples makes me shudder.

(No idea what M Teresa thought about either, she probably approved)

He was supposed to have converted some pilchards into herring on his deathbed - he thought the pilchards were the best 'herring' he'd ever tasted. This was the second 'miracle' (his works themselves being the first), that allowed him to be promoted to sainthood.

Funny innit the way these Saints only cure people they happen to bump into rather than just invent a cure for everyone...

I don't know much about RC saints but don't they do miracles both remotely and posthumously? I just mention it cos it's the kind of thing that gets Hillside typing angry messages to the board.

An inability to spell is nowhere as bad as not being able to understand something as simple to understand as secularism.

An inability to admit you've got it wrong, when it's so obvious you have; I think you must have got the picture by now Vlad.

Well I hope so for you're sake.

This is a secular society Ippy so everybody understands it. What isn't understandable is the control freakery of the BHA and NSS organisations whose members are committed to the removal of religion. Hence the sentiment ''freedom from religion.''

As far as I am aware the BHA at least supports the cinema ban of Christianity and so that is the commencement of media banning.

As Peter Hitchen's says it is part of the rage against God.

Chunderer,

Just out of interest, why do you keep lying about that?

[Shaker]

Actually (a) no it isn't - England has an established state church with the monarch as its head, and (b) not everybody understands it - you clearly do not.

I daren't even get into the difference between de facto and de jure secularism lest your teeny-tiny head 'splodes.

Religious strictures not being imposed upon those who do not adhere to that religion does not equal the removal of religion.

As Peter Hitchen's says

Ah yes, the unfortunate one of the two. Dropped on his head as a baby or something of the kind, I assume.

Be fair, Blue, it seems comprehension isn't his strong point.

Freedom from religion Shaker.......are you not committed to it?

[bluehillside Retd.]

Hi Rhi,

Be fair, Blue, it seems comprehension isn't his strong point.

Indeed, and nor is honesty. Be nice for example if he actually identified these supposed "Stalinists" he so casually mis-labels.

Oh well.

[Walt Zingmatilder]

Only if his brother was holding him................cheers.

[Shaker]

Freedom from religion Shaker.......are you not committed to it?

I am indeed for those who seek it, exactly as I'm committed to freedom of religion (though I would make some changes to the latter in the name of the former, if I had my way) for those who seek it.

[Shaker]

Oh well.

Ah yes. I and I think JeremyP had a go at that one. No dice, of course.

Stalinist changes i'll be bound.

[Rhiannon]

Isn't that just him copying a word he's heard used without knowing what it means? Because otherwise it'd be really quite rude of him.

[bluehillside Retd.]

Chunderer,

And wrong.

[Shaker]

Isn't that just him copying a word he's heard used without knowing what it means?

Oh goodess, yes. He does that all the time.

[jeremyp]

As far as I am aware the BHA at least supports the cinema ban of Christianity and so that is the commencement of media banning.

Actually it was  a ban by a cinema advertising distributor and it was a ban on all adverts of a political or religious nature (and they included adverts for atheism in that).

Your ability to lie through your teeth is matched only by your inability to grasp that we all see through the lies.

How do you feel about that?

[jeremyp]

I know exactly what "stalinist" means and I know that nobody on this board fits the bill, not even Vlad himself. I knew he would be unable to come up with the names because that post was just his usual content free trolling.
