  • What punishment should the Pope receive for hindering the course of Justice?

    There are plans to issue an arrest warrant if the Pope comes to the UK.

    http://uk.news.yahoo.com/21/20100411/tuk-pope-has-...

    What punishment would you like to see the Pope receive? Here are some ideas...

    Suspended Prison sentance.

    Custodial Sentence.

    Community Service .

    40 Lashes.

    No Punishment.

    ( The UK does not have the power to defrock the Pope, nor remove him from office. )

    Does he need to be made an Example of , in order to deter other people of faith who would be tempted to follow the Popes lead and cover up pedophile offences?

  • Atheists / secularists - What is a good name for a political party ? ?

    I am looking for suggestions for a nice ‘ Party political’ name . That will catch the eye of level headed voters . People with normal L-dopamine levels in their head and don’t think they are talking to god every Wednesday afternoon at tea time .

    The ‘ As the evidence indicates , The countries with less religion and less faith leads to less crime and less social problems ‘ Party. Doesn’t seem to have the correct Ring to it … any suggestions ?

    Apparently there are 3 empty local council seats in my local borough !

  • A question for Jews about calling the Tanak the ‘Old Testament’ .?

    When the Christians call your Tanak ‘ The Old Testament’ do you feel that your Jewish belief system is being undermined , do you feel insulted or offended ? To me it looks like the Christians have won a propaganda victory by renaming the Tanak as an Old ( outdated ) Testament.

    I wonder how Christians would feel if their Gospels where called the Old Koran , or if the Koran was called the Final Testament – implying that the Christian Gospels were past their sell-by-date ?

    Recently I have tried to stop using the phrase Old Testament and I now use the phrase Hebrew Bible or Tanak – does this meet with your Jewish approval ? or is there a better name I should be using for your Scripture ?

  • A question about the Pollution in Beijing …?

    Does anyone know how it compares to the pollution levels in western olympic Host cities in the past ?

    For example , I assume there are not too many lead particles floating about in BJ since that had been removed from motor fuels and I would hope Smoking will be banned , thus eliminating the effects of secondary smoking.

    1 or 2 Athletes have already pulled out of the games because of Health fears , I am wondering if there was more danger in London ( 1948 ) , Rome ( 1960 ) Tokyo ( 1964 ) , Mexico City ( 1968 ) and Moscow ( 1980 ) than there is in BJ today ?

  • What are your thoughts about the UK 11 year olds given detention for NOT Praying to Allah ?

    Is this a case in favour of Atheism ?

    http://uk.news.yahoo.com/pressass/20080705/tuk-pra...

    How could such an environment develop in 21st century UK where kids are punished for not praying to Allah , Jehovah , Jesus or even Zeus? Where did this Teacher get his morals from ?

    It is the case the Teacher had isolated himself from the 72% Christians and 15-20% Atheists who also happen to live in the UK ? Muslim are only 2.8% of the UK population , yet they seem to influence society far beyond their numbers.

    It is time for Atheists to begin a political movement to help stamp out such idiocy from our country ?

  • UK Atheists – Who will you vote for on the 12 June ?

    The Lady who believes in Flying Horses or the Man who believes in Unicorns ?

    You get the Idea ! Are you going to vote for someone who believes in the supernatural ?

    I got my 1st canvasser today. Eventually he told me what religion my local Lib Dem candidate was … she believes in Flying Horses.

    Naturally , I will not be voting for the Lib Dems nor anyone else who is insane enough to believe in Flying Horses.

  • Should I get a little revenge and save a stranger from a broken heart and financial loss. ?

    8 years ago, through the non-action of the ex-boyfriend of the woman I was dating , I went through 2 years of hell and nearly ended up a drunk on the streets . At any time the ex-boyfriend could have warned me about his ex-girlfriend but he never did.

    Today , I am in a position where I can also say nothing and potentially allow a man to go through a similar hell that I endured. This man is planning to marry a girl who just wants a passport and his money. How do I know … because I was engaged to that girl for 18 months , the difference being I wanted to live in her country , all through the 18 months she was on internet dating sites looking for another man and taking my money and gifts , with promises of marriage . Only after 18 months did she admit she wanted a passport.

    My opinion is that this girls’ behavior is wrong and she needs to be taught a lesson .

    I can contact this new man , he may not listen to me , especially if he is madly in love.

  • It there an alternative name for the set of books known as the New Testament ?

    Since learning a lot about Judaism ( especially on R&S ) I am feeling uncomfortable calling it the New Testament ,since that pre-supposes it has its roots in the Hebrew Bible and supercedes the Hebrew Bible ( Aka Old Testament ).

    I wonder how Christians would feel if the Koran was called the ‘ Final Testament ‘ , implying it supercedes their New Testament .?

  • If I said ‘ God is the most perfect shape’ – what shape would God be ?

    I mean I often hear things like ‘ God is the most Perfect being ‘ - for me that means God was Marilyn Monroe with bells and whistles.

    God is Peace = God is Mahat Magandi

    God is Love = That insane feeling I had when I married my 3rd wife.

    God is Truth = 1+1 =2

    ...so what Shape is the Lord / Allah / Jesus / God / Zeus etc

    What is the most Perfect shape ? The Human shape ? a Circle ? Cube ? A Trinity / Triangle , a Sphere ?

    What is your idea ( or opinion ) ?

    Or am I just barking up the wrong Tree ?

  • Why am I seeing so many Carl Sagan tributes on You Tube?

    Is Carl the Messiah of Atheism ?

    I remember Mr Sagan saying some dodgy stuff in the late 70’s and early 80’s . I guess earning a Million or two helped him clarify his thoughts and appeal to his fan base , just like Jesus did ( or didn’t ) .

  • Why would a lesbian get sterilised ?

    My sister has been in a Lesbian relationship with the same woman for about 20 years . They have lived together for the past 15 years and even had a Civil ceremony . Some of our family were having a casual chat about having kids. As part of the conversation my sister remarked that she had been sterilised ( had her tubes tied ) many years ago .

    Now I come to think about it , it seems a rather odd thing to do for a Lesbian in a monogamous relationship. I can’t think of any health benefits and the monthly cycle would continue as normal.

    Can anyone enlighten this Heterosexual male - Why would a lesbian get sterilised ?

  • Which Bishop is / was more correct about Jesus . Bishop Irenaeus or Bishop Epiphanius ?

    Bishop Irenaeus is a 2nd century Bishop and said Jesus was still alive between 98-117 CE .

    Bishop Epiphanius is a 4th century Bishop and said Jesus was born between 73-4 BCE .

    Or , did Jesus live until he was 120 years old and they are both correct ?

    All answers have severe problems fitting Jesus into a Historical framework.

    ( Please Note , I don’t think Jesus ever Existed , I just want to know the lie of the land in Christendom among believers of the faith. )
