Another mass shooting inspired by religion. Not being mentioned though. 

Why's that, do you reckon? We're all so deeply religious that we support the shooting, or at least are willing to turn a blind eye to shootings because of our religiousness? 

 

Shame you've got me on ignore because I'm so unbearable, I'd really have liked an answer to this one. In short, what the fuck are you on about.

I think it’s important to note that the words of one visiting imam (do I need to give my full views on him here or can we assume I think his words and views are gross?) doesn’t necessarily represent the entire mosque or their worshipers. A politician or a footballer supporting or praising work the mosque has done shouldn’t be instantly linked to some backwards twat and his views on what the Qur’an says. We don’t want to get ‘oh, you think the Mosque feeding the poor is good? You must want to kill homos’ territory.

Fair point, well made.

That does not look like any Yeshua or Maryam that I know.

Fuck me, that's grim.

Religion - a nice little earner if you know the right people. Let us take comfort in knowing the Plymouth Bretheren are hoovering up lucrative government contracts and having certain Tory MP’s lobbying for charitable status on their behalf (see Wikipedia for that bit).

 

A thread.

They should show them the British actor Robert Powell they won't believe it until they see it.

My mums cousin was a member of the Plymouth Bretheren, he was effectively brainwashed. Apparently he used to stand outside the Harland and Wolff shipyard, bible in hand, preaching to workers as they came out. He suffered with depression for years afterwards.

Fucking hell, astonishes me that this kind of shit still happens today!

 

I hope your mum's cousin got the help he needed.

Fuck the pair of them, religion is just fuckin' stupid to put it mildly, don't get faith neither and that can fuck off too.

Always thought Peter Joseph nailed the origins of religion in the first 20 minutes of his original Zeitgeist movie. All religious stories came out of the astrological paths of the Sun, planets & certain stars.

Strangely,his best mate has had to leave the country on urgent business.

She's probably told him the archangel Gabriel came to visit her and told her she's having the son of God.

But that’s nothing to do with religion!  Or words to that effect.

BBC must have the work experience kid covering this one, their article keeps referring to Sir Salman as Mr Rushdie.
