Re: Jocelyn Bell-Burnell: God & Richard Dawkins
Disappointing. Bell-Burnell could have been a powerful voice for reason. I don't see how it is constructive to criticise Dawkins for questioning religious belief, or to resort to the pejorative accusation of fundamentalism, which is a lame and shallow charge that even the most swivel-eyed, bat-shit...

Where I live these days (the heathen land to the east of you lot), the Royal Mail sells religious themed stamps at Christmas. Every second year. So this year it was the nativity, whereas...

Re: Identifying with a Sport and Nationalism are just as irratio
Since football (soccer) is a game of money, the people that actually go to a match and buy the merchandise actually contribute directly to the success of the club But almost all of the football supporters I knew growing up supported Manchester United or Liverpool, but we lived in Dunlaoghaire. :?
