Dexy, you can see the reactions and they could have been predicted.
Robert Mapplethorpe got a similar reaction to his photography.
The photographs were good, and they were shown in an avant-garde exhibition, but even so the police raided it.
The poem is good in one sense, and it doesn’t seem to be strictly illegal – a young girl who has grown…[Read more]

we argue about it because on jc threads go off in every direction. Ever since I remember. That’s why they’re challenging.
And the topics covered are interesting..to some of us.
If you’re not interested, fair enough. just ignore and continue with your own interests on the same thread.
Or if you feel that strongly about it, send a complaint to…[Read more]

if it’s about underage sex, then dexy will get booted with it.
If you read it carefully, then it borders on the topic. Very closely borders on it.
Which makes it very very iffy.
So my advice to dexy is to keep away from such iffy topics.
Shame if you get booted, there are hardly any poets left.

Which makes it very very iffy.
So my advice to dexy is to keep away from such iffy topics – at least on this site.
Shame if you get booted, there are hardly any poets left.

it’s well-crafted, dexy,
but it is a bit iffy
and it’s no wonder that Martin gets alarmed by it.
make sure he doesn’t delete you, not many around who take poetry seriously.

If that’s the case, why is Christianity still so strong in the USA, where atheists still face problems in being accepted into society? The educated liberal middle class doesn’t exist anywhere – some of the educated groups of people are liberal, by no means all. The Enlightened middle class is more of a likely term, but even here not all the…[Read more]

My apologies..I was thinking of mags, who called himself a follower of Lucifer.
My wrong here.
But a three-headed mongoose on alpha centaur is on the same level as pixies giving mizzy a fright at the bottom of her garden. You don’t need probability theory to realise that this isn’t likely. David Hume was saying much the same thing 250 years…[Read more]

One thing I absolutely agree with you is that 500 years ago atheists like you would have kept very quiet or been tortured and killed. You would have been seen as bizarre, possibly an agent of the Devil (which you said you were, I think??). You would have offended common sense, whihc saw the universe as enchanted, full of pixies and demons and…[Read more]

never responded to you before, paigey, so hope you don’t mind it now.
I don’t think faith is given by some formula, whether in the bible or in some of the platitudes disguised as wise sayings we often find here on jc.
It’s a proof all of its own, not recognised by anyone other than ourselves, alone. People without faith will explain it away,…[Read more]

you are so right.
According to ms mooosey, it doesn’t even seem to have been his opinion.
And he’s not bothered – as yet – to defend the argument against my evidence.
So I withdraw the term ‘religious bigot’ aimed at our resident wit. He can rest in peace and continue to amuse us all with his inimitable sense of humour..

Nobody other than somere are claiming that pixies are at the bottom of your garden..
but to talk fo a Creator needing proof before being accepted is bizarre.
You can’t prove or disprove a Creator. Our level of scientific expertise is nowhere near that level, and my guess is it never will get near it. Science is part of what’s beeen created,…[Read more]

They scare me, the JWs. I never let them in, in case what they’ve got is infectious.
