Peace on Earth and Goodwill to All Men

The self-styled “religion of peace” again demonstrates otherwise in yet another sad and violent episode brought about because someone’s feelings were hurt.
What precisely is it going to take before the human race collectively grows up and puts this insane rubbish back into the cupboard of ‘bad-things’ ?
Can someone enlighten me ?

Had to post this : The Catholics Get Another Shoeing

I don’t know who Nell McCafferty is but she certainly has her head screwed on properly.
Bravo Ma’am !

 I wonder if they will ever come to their senses and actually become that which their “saviour” wanted : men of humility.
Real humility instead of the self-aggrandising sort that seems to come with palaces, titles and very large [...] [...]

The Woo Fountain Moves On

I almost can’t believe this :
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8369689.stm
“The Oprah Winfrey Show is to close in 2011 after more than two decades on air…”
In between the words ‘decades’ and ‘on’ they forgot to add the sentence “of peddling the most outrageous, dangerous, stupid and costly woo-woo”. Must have been a copy&paste error.
Oh man I am so hoping this [...] [...]

Cancer Conspiracy ...

Wow, don’t conspiracy theorists leap out at you from all over the place ?
I recently had a discussion with one of them sparked off by the unfortunate death of Natalie Morton from an undiagnosed malignant chest tumor.
The first thing trotted out by the hard-of-thinking conspiracist was of course was the old ‘Confusing Correlation With Causation‘ [...] [...]

Bonkers Bishops Fight Against Reality (again)

I don’t suppose there’s any hope for these people when they seem so hell-bent on denying the reality that slaps the people of Africa in the face every day. What is that reality ? That reality is AIDS and the thousands of people it kills and infects every year in the third world. The millions [...] [...]

Celebrate Halloween and be Satan’s Best Pal

Apparently in Leicestershire you can become good friends with the dude downstairs if you celebrate the heathen festival of Hallowe’en. Awesome.
According to the Belvoir Angel magazine Hallowe’en celebrants are “siding with the devil”. Wooooooo !
Sorry. That’s clearly a bad thing but not as bad as the curses that Hallowe’en brings to cities in Northern Ireland. The [...] [...]

BCA Make Another Ridiculous Claim.

Well after all the shinanegins and whining of the British Chiropractors Association (BCA) they finally came out of the closet and started blubbing in a hastily altered press release this morning. They said that Simon Singh ‘maliciously attacked’ them via his Guardian column. The release was redacted but not before the legions of bloggers and other web denizens made copies and distributed [...] [...]
