Preaching to the converted.

I don’t know whether the fellow holding the placard is of limited intelligence, but If I was to go around protesting and holding placard’s, I’d make sure I corroborate the “facts” spray painted on it first and not rely on what is preached to me from the pulpit on a Sunday Morning.

I’m sure there are a lot of Christians out there that must despair at this kind of ignorance.

Micheal Palin not the funniest Palin after all shocker…

I’d have to say that US politics is quite the “flying circus” at this moment in time when compared to the incredible dullness of politics on this side of the pond. I do believe Mrs Palin would be of the “Norwegian Blue” variety…

Micheal Yon.

He’s fearless … provides a candid, soldier’s-eye view … from the very unique perspective of being there with them for weeks and months at a time … delv[ing] deep into the human component.”

“Probably” Not The News You Wanted To Hear…

Bendy-buses with the slogan “There’s probably no God” could soon be running on the streets of London.

The atheist posters are the idea of the British Humanist Association (BHA) and have been supported by prominent atheist Professor Richard Dawkins.

Professor Dawkins said: “Religion is accustomed to getting a free ride – automatic tax breaks, unearned respect and the right not to be offended, the right to brainwash children. Even on the buses, nobody thinks twice when they see a religious slogan plastered across the side. This campaign to put alternative slogans on London buses will make people think – and thinking is anathema to religion.”

Hanne Stinson, chief executive of the BHA, said: “We see so many posters advertising salvation through Jesus or threatening us with eternal damnation, that I feel sure that a bus advert like this will be welcomed as a breath of fresh air.”

“If it raises a smile as well as making people think, so much the better.”

While I agree that posters of this kind are just as valid as any religious posters, I do have to say…what’s with the “probably no God” slogan?  It sounds like a bit of a cop out to me, particularly for prof Dawkins to lend his name to it, he does annoy me with the way he tries to ram his atheism down you throat well, like fervent bible bashers do with their belief system along with those jolly nice fellows who come round to your door to flog you a copy of the watchtower.

And speaking of complete nutters:

Stephen Green of pressure group Christian Voice said: “Bendy-buses, like atheism, are a danger to the public at large. “I should be surprised if a quasi-religious advertising campaign like this did not attract graffiti.

“People don’t like being preached at. Sometimes it does them good, but they still don’t like it.”

Take note of your own words Mr Green. People don’t like being preached at.

Amen to that.

This Condell Fellow…

He is a comedian isn’t he?

While the subjects he was mildly ranting about are important, he delivered them in a simplistic manner which was certainly designed for maximum gravitas to those with only the attention span of one of his videos.

The trouble is when I was watching his little speeches, I felt I was laughing at him, not with him.

More will follow.

You’re having a laugh…aren’t you?

Sarah Palin and Foreign policy, they go together like…well George Bush and the Presidency really.

Badly.

Are people serious that they’d let someone like this into the Whitehouse, I know the track record isn’t great considering the current incumbent, but please tell me you are joking, as I think I’m having a sense of humour failure.
