O/T - Peter Hichens 'article'

.... and I'd follow a bottom like that an awful long way

just to redress the balance a little, "left-wing" doesn't mean "freedom of speech" - look who wanted to ban Page 3

The Mail makes no secret of its place on the political spectrum - if you don't like the viewpoint, don't read the paper.
It does make for an interesting debate on a boring Sunday, though

[jj a bit rambling......O/T]

This bloke feeds off being a reactionary.
I doubt he believes a word of the bollocks he talks.
Ignore him, like the rest of us: he'd be better off in the Bible-Belt US where such bullshit thrives...... A recent survey apparently suggested that 45% of all Americans believe the Earth was 'created' in six days....talk about a Sin Against the Light....why can't they understand that a truly Intelligent Deity, having created us and blessed us with the gift of intelligence, would be DELIGHTED if we discovered His 'Master Plan'?.......I'm an Atheist, but I could make a reasonable religious case for all Science, not as an attack, but an exegesis.
Of course, the Fundamentalists' agenda is more to do with control than truth, as usual..........

....I assume by that you mean: exactly none.
Totalitarianism is the same, whether it bites you fron the Right or the Left.........

...but it's a fascinating insight into the wilder realms of the Human imagination, isn't it?

Why are ladies' tits five times bigger now than they were in the caveman era? Answer me that with your so-called 'science'.

Fair comment: what I can't understand (or maybe, alas, I can !!) is Hitchen's inability to see that his position is IDENTICAL to Bin Laden's, the sole difference being a different religious heritage.
I really don't see how he can sleep at night........if the Hell he so fervently promulgates really exists (barring the possibility of it being created by 'thinkers' such as him), I'm sure that Our Hypothetical Lord has a VERY special place reserved for him.
Dante would have had this guy in, oh, about the Seventh Circle.

Yeah.....right....and China is full of pandas.
And Santa Claus is real.

Don't duck your ignoramus fuck-up re above by bringing Ms Jordan's sublime bottom into the equation....nice try, though.

Nah, Chris wouldn't want you strung up by the balls for watching a porno video. He'd probably ask if he could borrow it.

But PURELY for research purposes, of course.
