why should religions or religious people have a right not to be offended,when the rest of us,including businesses,corporations,polititions
Quote by GnV
Al-Qaida is a label so that people can identify them but made up of numerous cells with some working with each other and some not, some have the same ideologies and some do not. This is similar throughout history by well known European equivalents
French resistance = Maquis, FAFI
Yugoslav resistance = Cetniks, Yugoslav Partisans
NI cells = IRA, OIRA, INLA, PIRA

I'm somewhat disappointed that you see fit to place the Maquis (and perhaps the Yugo's - but I don't really know anything about them) in the same ideological class as the murderous Irish "freedom" fighters.
The maquis was made up of very brave men attempting to free their Country from the tyranny of the extremely corrupt Marshall Petain regime under the so called Vichy Government who were sending their French countrymen and particularly Jews and supposed insurgents to the German concentration camps towards torture and certain death. Many of the "insurgents" had actually done nothing wrong; Petain was performing his own brand of ethnic cleansing and not even at the bidding of the Nazi's. He was doing this of his own free volition for which he was later tried and sentenced to death for treason, commuted by General de Gaulle to life imprisonment when he took office.
The IRA and it's equivalents are mere bullies and cowards.
do you think the irish invited the british to come and look after their country? it was taken by force of arms and held by force for centuries,but the irish freedom fighters aren`t as worthy as the french?now think about if the brave french resistance failed and the german armies occupied britain,would you,your children and your grandchildren accept this or would they fight?

cannot see a greater belief in humans than believing they are made in Gods image and that they are his greatest creation.

Maybe not. Or we probably won't be able to comprehend quite what science has created for us in the end.
We already create devices with so many functions they baffle us. most modern cars can't be serviced at the roadside, we rely on technology we don't understand or know how to fix easily.
technology is making us lazy and weak, we would be useless in a real emergency, many of us would perish quickly.
so at some point there will be diminishing returns from science and it won't change what's already there or what is destined to happen, it can only observe and utilise what exists.

we do rely on technology that we dont understand,but other people do down to science.
i dont like the word destined,but science can certainly predict events,many of which would have been called acts of god in a less enlightened age
is there any way to disable this facility as it`s just becoming a stalkers charter for us

doesn`t make it any less evangelising cr++

And you don't sound any less ignorant.
This isn't personal abuse by the way (before you throw the AUP at me) - ignorance is a state of lack of knowledge which is neither an insult nor a compliment - simply fact.
There is a lovely saying : better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and prove it beyond doubt.
not ignorant at all,i know exactly wgere the text quoted came it`s all about was quoted here in a holier than thou manner,its a passage full of religious statements(not even allusions) that makes it evangelical in my gold can be crap in the wrong place,ie you`d rather have a bucket of floating crap if you were drowning than a bucket of gold
Quote by Kaznkev
The quality of mercy is not strained.
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest:
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.
Tis mightiest in the mightiest; it becomes
The throned monarch better than his crown.
His scepter shows the force of temporal power,
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings.
But mercy is above this sceptered sway;
It is enthroned in the hearts of kings;
It is an attribute of God himself;
And earthly power doth then show like God's
When mercy seasons justice.

why dont you take this evangelising cr++ door to door or stand in town centre for us to have a laugh?
if a councillor wanted to say prayers to the fairies at the bottom of his garden,should the others respct his beliefs and quietly let him get on with it ?

So someone claim not to be religious but cries foul when a muslim school girl wins a case,is this another electioneering for you know who?!.....people say christianity is taking the back seat hehehe which "people"

You`re in my head ...aren`t ya !!!
It does seem odd for somebody that claims not to be religious to keep starting threads that are clearly aimed at stirring up religious hatred .
As one of the few proclaimed christians on the site i had exactly the same thoughts,
I am not an astronaught.......but I will cast an opinion about space travel
I am not gay........but I will cast an opinion about gay issues
I am not a lot of things.......but I will cast an opinion about anything I wish to. Thats mine and your right to do. Just because you are not something does not mean you shouldn't have an opinion about it.

i am afraid i have to disagree with you and ben,if the OP had started a thread on the general wearing of religious symbols in public life,then i think you would be didnt though,he claimed i take a hard line on discrimination,i believe that should a person from a group believe they are discriminated against then it is fact,for example should someone black see a word/action/behaviour/event/as racist than i as a white woman cannot deny we do not follow this we end up with persons of priviledge deciding what is or isnt oppression.
How does this relate to the OP,well in order to be consistent then allowing someone who does not belong to a certain group to define what is or isnt discrimination also raises my post tried to claim that certain things oppress christians,when he is not one.i dont believe you need to be a member of a group to comment on wether certain behaviour is oppresive,but this was not a comment,it was an assertion.
And as a side point,the campaign by right wing Christians is one that needs to be treated with more knowledge of the situation than was shown here.
just because a person or group believes something doesn`t automatically make it true,however special,different or in a minority they they are just mistaken or deluded.
never catch on nearly as far fetched as the bible,but they`ve had 4000 years to tweek it.
easter is an ancient"pagan" festival,time for a party after a long for rebirth and crops to grow church stole it cos you cant convert peeps if you take all the fun out of it,and it also dovetailed in with their resurection
they also did the same with the midwinter festival and renamed it jesus` birthday.
