For some unearthly reason I went along today to a large-scale talk at Oxford town hall about Jesus. I don’t know, maybe the wiring has got so frayed these days that I’ll go to anything if it’s a break from struggling to commit Greek verbs to memory. Nonetheless I ended up in a packed hall [...]

Thou Shalt Not.

I found it laughable from the very start when the Conservatives promised a crackdown on QUANGO’s whilst simultaneously peddling their Big Society nonsense and promising to fund such cloud based castles with lost pocket money. I mean you had to wonder what the hell a group of people loosely associated with local authorities, partially funded [...]
Two of My Favorite Things.
Posted in Capitalism, Religion on August 29, 2011 |
I couldn’t help but read this article about Christianity and Capitalism on the BBC website; it provoked something of a bitter laugh. “The Bible also tells us that the love of money is the root of all evil, yet the seemingly sin-ridden worlds of investments and big banking are cohabiting quite happily with Christianity.” As [...]
Cardboard Boxes and Karma
Posted in Meaningless Rambling, Religion on August 27, 2010 |
I would have written about homelessness but unfortunately I could write reams and reams and still get a pithy two line response from some Conservative minded shit-for-brains about how these people just need to work harder…I think I’ll start agreeing from now on; so yes these people do need to start working harder at mugging toffee nosed [...]

Whilst I’m on the subject of Atheism I thought I would include a link to a site through which many books countering the views of Richard Dawkins can be found. I’m an agnostic, which basically means I have not made my mind up yet but I find fashionable Atheism to be somewhat distasteful plus any [...]
A Teddy Bear called Mohommad

Sudan: In a case of religion gone absoloutely nuts, a teacher looks set to recieve 40 lashes from a whip for the incredible, breathtaking and heretical crime of letting her class of seven year olds name a Teddy bear after the prophet Mohommad. Instances like this make me despair at the gross hypocrisy of religions [...]
When the Pope met the King

The Pope is to meet the King of Saudi Arabia for the very first time, this is quite the clash of cultures with the head of the Catholic Church meeting the custodian of Islam’s most holy sites, you have to hope they will get past the cup of tea and biscuits stage. The Vatican and [...]
A note of thought

I would first like to congratulate my good friend Jon on his recent aquisition of a first class masters degree in engineering, certainly a deserved qualification if ever their was one and I would say I was impressed, however impressed merely implies that Jon has exceeded my expectations when I quite simply from the perspective [...]
Because you have to laugh

I’m not a massive believer in religion as people may be aware of, I’m not going to go into the many reasons why put simply direct you to what I thought was a reasonably amusing clip of late night evangelical shows. http://www.clipjunkie.com/The-Worst-of-TV—Late-Night-Christian-Shows-vid1158.html If after watching this you still think that people are not total idiots [...]
