[Closed] Pentecost...........well i never.

Some people seem fixated on getting a sound bite out of people and when they have one that suits their belief or their side of the argument (or just gives them a cause), they will hammer the that point to death.

Not sure if that's for me or not?

I don't have a side or cause in this matter/argument. I do read the threads with interest though.

Everyone is welcome to their view as far as I'm concerned, it would be boring if we were all the same.

Hypocrisy gets my goat however, which is what I challenged. TJ has since clarified what he meant, and I am happy to give him the benefit of the doubt. I don't necessarily agree with his reasoning, but see above.

[b]Prince Philip actually asked the question to a highly successful Aboriginal businessman - he was clearly taking the piss[/b]. I like pisstaking.

So which are you an idiot or a hypocrit ?

Eh ? Yes I take the piss.......I am "a pisstaker", everyone who knows me knows that. And I wouldn't for a minute attempt to deny it.

But I don't take the piss out of someone's religion, I don't take the piss out of someone's mother, I don't take the piss out of someone's children, etc.

How difficult is it for you to work that out Junkyard ? Do you not understand the concept of "common-sense" ? [b]Can you really not see the difference between having a laugh and a joke, and being offensive and obnoxious ?[/b] ...... TJ in the example quoted, was talking about taking the piss out of someone's religion in a deliberately offensive manner.

Oh dear. 😕

can you genuinely not see the difference with a harmless joke and a deliberate attempt to be insulting and offensive ?

The individual I do not loathe and despise of necessity. The religions I do

That is most definitely not what you said originally!

proper can of worms i opened here...............sorry.

It is the hatred and intolerance of others that causes the problems, not the specific beliefs of the haters.

This doesn't take into account the hatred of others because of membership of a different set of superstitions though, does it - the Crusades, for instance. If there was no religion, the one group would not hate the other - there being nothing to spur the hatred...

[i]proper can of worms i opened here...............sorry[/i]

Hmmm, like you didn't know...... 🙂

not sure it is that simple Whoppit. Tribes can war over many things such as respurces [ oil] and none of the recent wars were religious in nature. The end of religion wont stop war or hatred or intolernance.
It is fair to say [ unless we all join one it has not brought about world harmony but neither has anything else either.

crikey, i am to thick to to have done what you are suggesting.

pah that bit is a lie anymore of that and some fist pie is coming your way

Nope, just cos you're big doesn't mean you're not clever...

Junkyard, I take your point.

Look into my eyes ... look into my eyes ... follow me ... I am the one .... call me yourrrrr .... Deeaaarrr Leader. I am lovvveeeee! 😈

*Small print* - membership is only for fit female only so male & ugly people need not apply and will be treated as slave to be stepped on.

Jesus saves. He must be well annoyed with the poor interest rates on offer these days.

If there is one thing to be said about Prince Phillips humour it is is certainly the fact it is neither offensive nor obnoxious good call ernie an excellent point well made

Thanks 8) ......... although perhaps you could have made that point on the appropriate thread ?

I loathe and despise religion and the religious

I loathe and despise religion.....that's my prerogative

If there was no religion, the one group would not hate the other - there being nothing to spur the hatred...

I suspect they would find something.

Thanks ......... although perhaps you could have made that point on the appropriate thread ?

Another change of position ......

No change of position........I am "immovable".

And I'd thank you not to even suggest such a thing.

.I am "immovable".

Proud of that?

Absolutely 😕

Mmmm hmm. Enough said 🙂

Here's some religious trance

No change of position........I am "immovable".
