I'm not particulary concerned about Dana. Her support at the EU level amounts to all kinds of nothing.

I hope the Phelps gang do picket Jobs' funeral; it will bring those maniacs to a much wider and different demographic who may not have been aware of their disgusting behaviour before. It might be a good thing if more people realised the depths of intolerance to which some religious believers will sink. :x

It gets better - upon realising her folly:

@MargieJPhelps "...Rebels mad cuz I used iPhone to tell you Steve Jobs is in hell.God created iPhone for that purpose! :)"


She'll be really embarrassed when she realises the iPhone was created by Steve Jobs, not God.

Hard to know where to start on this article:

http://www.slate.com/blogs/weigel/2011/ ... orser.html

Rick Perry supporter Robert Jeffress thinks Mormons are a cult, which isn't so bad until you compare it with his outspoken, uncensored belief in Christianity as a people uniquely favoured by God, and his opinion that most important quality in an elected official is Christianity.

Quote:
I believe we should always support a Christian over a non-Christian. The value of electing a Christian goes beyond public policies. . . . Christians are uniquely favored by God, [while] Mormons, Hindus and Muslims worship a false god. The eternal consequences outweigh political ones. It is worse to legitimize a faith that would lead people to a separation from God.

Quote:
"Article 6 of the Constitution says government can impose no religious tests," he said. "But private citizens can impose all the tests they like!"


Isaac Asimov's quote about Anti-Intellectualism comes to mind...

Since it is mentioned on nearly every forum I frequent I have to include this months Cancellation of the Dawkins Talk because someone who had no idea who he was then saw him on the OReilly Factor and decided he did not want an atheist speaker in his property.

Maybe the Wyngate club had heard about the wild behaviour at atheist gatherings - people drinking coffee, using the lifts and that sort of thing.

Camping despite being nominated in an earlier month is here again as he is sticking with his prediction that the world will end.... 4 days from now in fact.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44909455/ns ... pwD0EISae0

I haven't posted a True Believer in a while,think this could be a winner:
I nominate the Indian branch of the CCL

Catholic church in india says have more children
www.atheistalliance.org/news-a-articles ... e-children

The numbers of catholics are falling in this highly populated country, the solution have more catholic babies, they're offering hospitals (maybe they need a new source of baby factories-other topic), 'free' schooling and even cash bonuses for large families.

I have three late nominations.

1) Christian complains of persecution when he's not allowed to persecute: "The Bible is quite specific that marriage is for men and women. If the State wants to offer civil marriages to the same sex then that is up to the State; but the State shouldn’t impose its rules on places of faith and conscience."

2) Britain should become a more Christian nation, according to Baroness Warsi, the only Muslim member of the Cabinet.

3) 'Jesus Ween' offers a Christian alternative to Halloween, says Canadian pastor'... "Little trick-or-treaters hoping for sugary snacks may find something odd in their loot bags this Halloween: a bible."

One more for October:

http://www.irishexaminer.com/breakingnews/world/catholic-church-in-england-conducts-review-of-child-safety-practices-526249.html

The official on charge of investigating allegations of sexual abuse will be charged today.

"The disclosure that the Catholic Church employed a paedophile as the head of child protection for the Diocese of Plymouth will add to the mounting sense of crisis in the Roman Catholic Church over its handling of cases of clerical sexual abuse." The Times, 28/10/11

Fr Dinny defends offering prayers for slain Gaddafi at Mass
http://www.independent.ie/national-news ... 15307.html

Quote:
Fr McGettigan (72) said he had no problem praying for the dictator who had earned the nickname 'Mad Dog'.

"I just mentioned his name along with the names of the other people from our parish who recently died.

"I would pray for anyone, so I have no problem whatsoever praying for Muammar Gaddafi," Fr McGettigan said.

Asked if he thought it was all right to pray for the soul of a man who murdered, maimed and oppressed Libyan citizens for four decades, Fr Dinny said: "That's all the more reason to pray for him."

One parishioner said: "It bothered no one. Fr Dinny is a very Christian man."
