I like the redhead!
What i would give for a redhead atheist! Please ship them over to South Africa! We have a shortage here!

2. Creationism Song

Comment #17768 by Andrew Charles on January 16, 2007 at 2:49 am

Jesus Christ! Those poor kids!

3. Creationism Song

Comment #17767 by Andrew Charles on January 16, 2007 at 2:47 am

Well, I have never seen anything like that before. I used to sing christian songs myself at high school and primary school(it was compulsory), but never anything so explicitly against a scientific theory. It was mostly just those old traditional hyms that actually didn't sound to bad some times. We never paid any attention to what we were singing in any case, but this....!???!!?

4. Richard Dawkins' Report Card

Comment #17051 by Andrew Charles on January 10, 2007 at 12:52 pm

Richard Dawkins was at school in Rhodesia? I never knew that. He must go back there now and see what it has become. At least he was there when there were still schools around.

5. Halting progress

Comment #16984 by Andrew Charles on January 10, 2007 at 12:47 am

It is very interesting for me to see this. I could never imagine people protesting outside of Parliament in my country on behalf of religious belief. They protest about violence against women etc. which is the highest in the world and many a time it is the churches who organise these protests. In these cases you will see protesters who are believers and non-believers side-by-side protestinng against something which is, in my opinion, a much bigger issue. Are there no bigger isssues in Britain?

6. Open Letter to Rev. John Auer

Comment #16805 by Andrew Charles on January 8, 2007 at 10:57 pm

A good illustration of the hypocrisy of religion, especially Catholicism.

7. Secret Life of Brian

Comment #16694 by Andrew Charles on January 8, 2007 at 5:05 am

I think it is great that we can satirise christianity. But it would be great if "secular" muslims in Islamic countries could do the same to their religion without the fear of death...

8. Secular fundamentalists are the new totalitarians

Comment #16600 by Andrew Charles on January 7, 2007 at 2:33 pm

How can this fella call secularists "totalitarians"? Wouldn't secularists first have to have control of the State and indeed force their views upon everyone with the full might that their regime has before someone can label them that?

9. Questionable Mission

Comment #16595 by Andrew Charles on January 7, 2007 at 2:19 pm

This sounds like a load of cloak-'n-dagger bullshit...

10. Pat Robertson: God told me of 'mass killing' in 2007

Comment #16073 by Andrew Charles on January 4, 2007 at 12:34 pm

Oh my God! Look at the photo of Pat Robertson...

If i didn't know any better, I'd say he looks like a cross between George Bush and Charles Bronson!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahHAHAHa

Seriously, though. There's this other nutcase that Robertson talks to sometimes, called Benny Hinn. He has also made some weird predictions that failed to materialize. Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benny_hinn#Controversies_and_critics.

Let's take a dig at him too. Oh, please, let's!

Who can name the televangelist who's wife was arrested for shoplifting in Cape Town in 1997...?

I love this shit!

11. Executing Saddam Hussein was an Act of Vandalism

Comment #15877 by Andrew Charles on January 3, 2007 at 1:02 pm

It's very simple...

The people of Iraq decided that Saddam should die, so he died. It's really not a case for pampered western "liberal/humanists" to debate in the comfort of their cushy homes. Have any of them had a family member who was killed/raped? Have any of them witnessed genocide? Some people are just plain evil, and I don't mean that in any superstitious sense. They need to be removed from society. What could we have learned from Saddam that we don't already know? If anything could have created such a monster it was certainly the hypocritical/ineffective West.

Does that mean that Bush or Blair deserve to be hung? Well, that is a case for pampered western "liberal/humanists" to debate.

12. The Komodo Dragon's Tale

Comment #14447 by Andrew Charles on December 22, 2006 at 1:32 pm

I think that the virgin birth story was a concious addition into the gospel story by their author/s to fit or shape the story into the graeco-roman model, rather than the result of a mistranslation.

13. It is possible to respect the believers but not the belief

Comment #14444 by Andrew Charles on December 22, 2006 at 1:22 pm

Yuletide greetings? Pagan Winter Solstice?

...Happy Northern Hemisphere Chauvinism!

14. 7 monks injured in clash over monastery

Comment #14210 by Andrew Charles on December 21, 2006 at 1:49 pm

StephenH,

I think they know all too well that even "holy" people like monks would succumb to what is supposed to be a natural event. I'm talking about the intercourse between two humans now, not Scots and sheep or Welshmen and sheep. After 2 million years of humans shagging, these bastards decide no more? But the evolutionary impulse will not be so easily overcome...

15. I love the commercialisation of Christmas

Comment #14206 by Andrew Charles on December 21, 2006 at 1:34 pm

Excuse my language...

16. I love the commercialisation of Christmas

Comment #14205 by Andrew Charles on December 21, 2006 at 1:33 pm

I am sitting here in South Africa and it is almost 40 degrees celsius. The shopping malls have fuckin' trees with fake snow and are playing wintery carols and all that shit. Materialist or not, it's a fuckin' joke...

I think in the Southern Hemisphere we should move christmas to 25 June...

17. Vicars in a Twist

Comment #12744 by Andrew Charles on December 13, 2006 at 2:13 pm

Oh, I get it now.

Ha ha ha. Very funny. Forgive me, but we don't have vicars where I come from. I'm actually grateful.

18. Vicars in a Twist

Comment #12640 by Andrew Charles on December 13, 2006 at 3:10 am

I can't beleive the comments of these vicars. They are devoid of anything resembling the workings of intellect. Or am I missing something?

Just exactly what the hell are vicars paid to do anyways?

19. Atheists for Jesus

Comment #11376 by Andrew Charles on December 4, 2006 at 10:59 am

I agree with Prof Dawkins' sentiments...

However, in the interests of science (and in this this case, historical truth) it must be said that we cannot talk anymore about Jesus as an historical figure if we are intellectually honest with ourselves. Professor Dawkins, I have a book entitled "Did Jesus Ever Live?" by L. Gordon Rylands printed in the 1930's. I have never heard of him nor have I been able to find a copy of this book anywhere. Perhaps you could find a copy in England, where the book originated, otherwise I would gladly send you mine!

20. Fighting the good secular fight in an age of religion

Comment #9908 by Andrew Charles on November 26, 2006 at 11:39 am

I think the West does not analyze events objectively at all. The words "freedom" and "democracy" are mentioned quite often beforehand, though. I don't know if the West ever does a follow-up on anything. If anyone wants to see what I mean, come to South Africa and see if you can spot democracy. It's rarer than a bloody eclipse!
