Thats why my wife will not let me go out on Sunday

but while i'm here......the other day two young pretty blonde girls (early twenties) knocked on my door.

Goodafternoon.....(it was at this moment i noticed a copy of the watchtower in there hand)

Sorry not interested....(door shut)

WHEN did the JW lot start using pretty young girls as a recruitment tool?

Don't get me wrong i'm not against it (well i am actually anybody forcing there religious views on me (devout athiest) gets my back up)

but it used to be little old ladies long dark heavy set coats adorning some sort of hat (not stereotyping to much) .....only wish i had more time to keep them there and share my views..ahh well maybe next time!!

Should Muslim women wear veils or should they be told under certain circumstances to remove them?

Was Jack Straw right to say what he did?

Lets start the ball rolling; a few years ago there was an almighty up-roar from Muslims in this country, because there was a new law.....YOU MUST WEAR CRASH HELMETS WHEN RIDING A MOTORCYCLE.

Now Muslims; or rather male Muslims have to wear a tuban, so they kicked up a stink by riding around without hemets. To the best of knowledge, we saw hundreds of them on TV, & the law was made to allow them to wear there turbans. 1st question; When did you last see a Muslim riding a motorbike?

Now we have laws which say youths cannot wear 'hoodies' in towns (ok I'm not sure if its LAW but police will arrest anyone who is in town & wearing one to cover there face) , but no mention of female Muslims??

Now I don't know too much about anyone elses religion, & I don't care too much for my own! Everything in the BIBLE is a contradiction. So I can only say....yes I belive in GOD but NOT the BIBLE - or anything else written by man. After all, what kind of religion states 'you must rid the earth of infedels' - infidels, being ANYONE who does NOT belive in your religion (I think at this moment in time they are really trying hard to do this!?).

So 2nd question; What should be put first, LAW or RELIGION?

And just so we understand what I would like to do......did you know it only takes 3 people to start a religion? You need a place to 'worship' & more important a set of 'rules'

Right I will tell you my 'rules'....1/ you must carry a gun - just in case you come accross a wounded animal. 2/ you must consume at least one pint of beer or double short, once a week - to relive stress. 3/....each member will contribute there own 'rule' (only one each).

A place to worship; my house once a month ( other members houses also once a month - & remeber...a place of worship is not subject to council tax).

Any one want to sign up? Alan

I don't know what the fuss is all about. I just don't believe that there is anyone floating around in the clouds pulling our strings. Religion has been causing wars for a thousand years. When will everyone wake up to the truth?

There is no God.

A Protestor dressed as a Suicide Bomber, isn't that just as offensive gloryfying killing innocent people? Wonder what would have happened if Police shot him?

This would then leave the door wide open for me to be the GOD I was put on this earth to be!!!!

The time is nigh.........join me and together we can defeat the emperor and rule the galaxy as father and son!!!!!!!

Yes I am your father...........

I have found out that this wee girl's parents informed the school that she wasn't allowed to be given this book for reading <_< , as it was about a christian festival. I find this truly amazing and bit extreme, since I wouldn't have a problem if my son had a reading book about some jewish or islamic festival etc.

In the past these same parents have excluded their child from classmates' birthday parties, school assemblies and don't allow her to accept Chrstmas cards. In addition, when the little girl was at nursery school they tried to ban the staff from putting up a Christmas tree - the parents were told where to go :woot:

This Christmas, my son will be giving this wee girl a "Happy Holiday" card as he feels sorry for her (even at his young age) that she is being excluded. I wonder if she will be allowed to accept this.

Surely the parents' attitude to this is detrimental to their daughter social well-being and school experience. No doubt she will be "targeted" at school in years to come, by both pupils and teachers - shame, and something I don't advocate.

What do you think about all of this?

Hi folks,

I have split Trainspotters Thread as I thought the discussion about the moral issues of Religion were putting the celebration side of it in the shadows. There is of course room for both threads in thier own sections.

Enjoy..........

Apparently they are not stunned before slaughter and the move is to pressure the government to outlaw this type of killing as cruelty.

What do you think, is it a case of one law for them and another for us?

Should they have the right to carry out these practices because its part of their religion?

Where would you draw the line at banning religious practices, is it a matter of principle or can we cherry pick?

Where does it stop, should we have the Muslim call for prayers blasted across our green and pleasant at the crack of sparrows?

How tolerant should we be, is this the start of a Politically Correct backlash?
