Science vs. Faith

I saw this and it made me chuckle… science vs. faith

Are you an extremely intolerant, puerile bigot?

Then Daily Mail writer James Delingpole can cater just for your needs!

Daily Mail is known for its pandering to a certain demographic and estimating that there are 6 billion immigrants living in England AT THIS VERY MOMENT IN TIME, and they are all out to steal YOUR job. Yes, you, the highly trained technician in a specialised job. But anyway, onto the article which gives away all its coming content in the title: “An A-Z guide to the PC madness blighting modern Britain”. That PC madness! I mean promoting tolerance and good nature towards each other, what fucking insanity!

Let us look at a few choice paragraphs:

While the Crown Prosecution Service can always be relied on to prosecute you if you use racist language, show signs of homophobia or defend yourself against burglars breaking into your home, it appears hugely reluctant to bring cases against genuine criminals.

Racism? Homophobia? Seriously injuring or killing other members of the human species? Forget that, go after the proper criminals! Blacks and Asians and those left-wing fucking hippies! I could imagine James frothing at the mouth in rage as sparks flew from his fingertips on the keyboard, I am actually very scared at this point to know what sort of fascist paradise James Delingpole would like this country to become. But this is just the tip of his insane, white, middle class only iceberg.

Let us move onto “D”, yes that’s right, Mr. Delingpole is going to take a pop at “Diversity”.

It’s also why, if you apply for any kind of state funding for your church hall, cricket pavilion or bowling clubhouse, you won’t get it – because the people who would benefit don’t press the correct ‘diversity’ buttons.

This had me laughing quite a bit because it seems Mr. Delingpole can’t help but fall into the same old bigot stereotype. Everything is a conspiracy against the white middle class. I wouldn’t be surprised if he thought the British Empire was a good thing and would probably give me a good slap across the face for not saying “Great” in front of “Britain”. James doesn’t like all conspiracy theories though, oh no, only the ones that fall into his single minded hatred. For example… (more…)

Incitement to Religious Hatred Bill, stuff you might not have seen about it.

Hello again, was going to post this around a month ago, but things happened.

The Incitement to Religious Hatred Bill last year created a lot of controversy on what could be said and what couldn’t. Anyone who has there finger on the pulse of what insane laws parliament tries pass through should know all about this one. However, I’m not here to rant about what is good and what is bad but to rather show you two things related to this bill or created in direct response to it.

The first is a rather good debate held at the Guardian Hay Festival last year on blasphemy between warmonger Christopher Hitchens and insanely articulate Stephen Fry. (Maybe I’ve let my allegiances show a bit early here, but Mr Hitchens does make a good point, maybe two)
Anyway you can download the whole thing by clicking here. It’s 78mins long, but just to hear the speech/rant at the end from Stephen is worth the whole download.

The second thing you should have looked at when it was on was comedian Stewart Lee’s “Don’t Get Me Started”. A very funny one off about blasphemy that is also very intelligent at the same time, but expect nothing less from the seasoned funnyman. You can only find it on youtube now but take a look anyway by clicking here That is the first part of 6 parts, so make sure you look at all of them.

Enjoy.

What grinds my gears: Religious charities

Well, I have finally got around to the ranting I promised over something like 2 weeks ago. The title of these rants will probably fall under the current one due to popular demand (not my own demand). Hopefully it will be the content that stirs the soul rather than the cheap rip-off of the comedy show Family Guy in the title.

This particular rant (and probably many others in the future) will be about religion and also about charity. Before people lose their rag however it is not some super controversial anti-charity post by a therefore obvious God hating, evil sub-human. Though if you do think like that I hope I will change the way your scary mind work. Am I aiming too high there?

Charity in a perfect world would not be needed, but in our world it looks like it always will be. Although charity could be seen as just helping a friend in need, I am talking more of the non-profit organizations working for the benefit of other fellow humans across the globe. Just donating to a charity is a simple and easy way to show you do care about those who are less fortunate than yourself and are making an effort to readdress this situation. Of course I shouldn’t have to remind anyone about this, nor should I need to remind anyone that using charity to boost others opinion of yourself is an abhorrent act of selfishness that spits in the face of a usually selfless act.

So this leads me quite nicely on to religious charities. (more…)
