Why is it that the posters that are so scathingly critical and nastily lambasting to others’ looks and appearances are the ones that don’t put their own photo up?
Btw I gave up crumpet in 1982 when my waist got to 36.
What did you replace the crumpet with? Alcohol?
Just noticed this. In my experience “crumpet” prefer a man in moderately good shape, albeit with a ‘belly’, compared to a skinny tent peg that looks like it just escaped from a 6 month stint in a health farm, for example someone who looks just like you.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t the “not thin” one “insulting” the “skinny tent peg”? and introducing insults on body shape to the thread?
I wonder who would win in a 100 meter sprint, a 1500 meter middle distance, a 10km cross country in the mud :), a swimming race, a cycle race or a fist fight with the “not thin” and the “skinny tent peg”
However you can mock and offend people who do believe , also not acceptable.
I’m not sure if I read this properly or if there’s a typo, but anyway.
I agree people shouldn’t be mocked for their religion, equally non believers shouldn’t be mocked either.
However, I agree in the freedom of speech even stronger. Monty Python mocked the crap out of Jesus with their film A Life of Brian and that was 40 odd years ago. We have moved on since then.
So my freedom of speech actually allows me to give an opinion, as long as it doesn’t incite hatred or racism etc. Not everyone will like my opinions, some will take offence. But,
My right to express my opinion is greater than your right to take offence.
I’ve been thinking of people like you and rudeboy and ‘Morgan’ as among those who spat in the face of Jesus and taunted him
Why can’t Jesus be mocked any more than you or I ? It is possible he never even existed. What exactly is so evil about mocking Jesus? Does mocking Jesus upset or offend you? Does mocking Allah upset or offend you?
Have you ever seen Life of Brian?
Would you like to see stronger Blasphemy Laws in the UK? like they have in Pakistan or Afghanistan? so as Jesus wouldn’t be so quick to be mocked?
I don’t approach these things with the same certainty you do. Scientists don’t approach things with your level of certainty.
Maybe try using a bit more “certainty”. That’s all Hawkins did. He was quite certain 2+2=4. He was able to build on that with some very clever and advanced mathematics and physics, and as rudeboy so succinctly put,
used his understand of physics , the cosmos which is far greater than yours or mine to come to an informed view that on the balance of probability there is no God and describes himself as an atheist
