Christian Hotel Ruling

mr toab this thread is uselss without pictures are you smoking hot or was Mr Toab simpley consumed by the beer goggles?

you sure that pink is not caused by cochineal and I think you will fidn it is flapjacks and bourbons Graham

Shibboleth i notice your user name is a biblical code word? I notice that your description:”We’re talking about a very twee Christian couple that open their home up as a B&B to other Christians” bears no relation to the truth as per the business in questions web site.

Is there a reason you started this thread? What are your views on theirs do you agree that discriminating against people on the basis of their sexuality is repugnant?

Right, that does it, I really am offended this time. I’m going to flounce off for a few hours.

Ooh! Get her! 😆

Don’t be mean about James Blunt he’s lovely. And he used to drive tanks you know, and thats not a euphemism.

and dont those pink wafers contain egg and egg powder?

No commitment these vegans.

MTG, I stand by my comments on pink wafer things and am currently lobbying to get them banned to grounds of taste and decency, they are an afront to high tea snacks.

I don’t agree with their views on marriage, and I have no problem at all with homosexuality (apart from the fissures). I don’t have any religious beliefs either. But I believe that their religious views should be respected by the law in the same way that we tend to respect other religions and cultures in this country.

I feel that the militant pro-homo lobby are the real bigots in this case, as they refuse to respect other people’s beliefs.

Personally, I’d be more than happy for them to stay under my roof and kick each other’s back doors in to their hearts content… As long as they don’t wipe on the curtains.

hels, he’s not. He’s the only man who is is own rhyming slang.

militant pro-homo lobby are the real bigots in this case, as they refuse to respect other people’s beliefs.

What gay rights groups are campigning to ban religions rather than end prejudice towards gay people .
They are only asking that religous people treat them like everyone else not sure how you think that means they have a lack of respect rather than the Christians have a lack of respect for them

apart from the fissures

Is that where the song comes from?

We will make you fissures of men?

I shall obtain my outerwear forthwith….

… but you WILL remove your outerwear whenst thou entereth my dwellingplace.

@Junkyard, sorry I have no photos of that Mr. Toad – I’m afraid he didn’t last.

“Shibboleth i notice your user name is a biblical code word?”

I thought it was an anagram of “right wing bigot” although that may just be an assumption……

thing is, no-where in the bible does it say you shouldn’t let a gay couple, or an unmarried couple, sleep in your spare room. It does say you shouldn’t have sex unless you’re married (however the definition of married is a little blurry), and if you do so you’ll be punished, but no-where does it suggest you should do the punishing..

Thanks for the clarification but what’s all the fuss about then Christianity has just as much respect and toleration under the law as any other belief and if you run a business you can expect to have to obey the law and are not allowed a religious cop out if you don’t obey the law.

Surely a country where we are all equal and you are not allowed to discriminate against people and refuse service to them on the grounds of race gender religion or sexuality is a good thing and if any arbitrary or geographic boundary deserves self sacrifice then that is one.

intolerant have as much right to tollerance as everyone else

I’m ‘tollerance’ intolerant, where does that leave me?

but you WILL remove your outerwear whenst thou entereth my dwellingplace.

Gays want you to undress in order to enter them …… is this your claim now?

Muslims asks you to remove your shoes as they tend to pray in their own homes and it is an attempt to keep their floor clean as has alrerady been explained. It is not a universal Muslim Thing I would make you take your shoes off as well but of course I would not let you enter my dwelling place as you are just not my type.

Effinchafing’s ex and I used to be Mr and Mrs Smiff. She wanted to be Mrs Darcy. Lolcarpetz. Not a chance.

Don’t blame you mate. She turned into a right skank after I kicked her out…

I’ve found two small tangerines in the bottom of my wardrobe! I have no idea how they got there. Seem to be ok, too.

I shall investigate…

I’m afraid he didn’t last

🙁

Are those tangerines coming out of the closet, Fred?

More than happy for people to be offended on my behalf

You must be reading stuff which I can’t see toab, because as far as I can figure out, it’s only Shibboleth who appears to be offended on this thread……everyone else seems to be enjoying biscuits as Shibboleth entertains them with stories of pigs in farm sets, and his awesome powers of decision making in the lavatory.

Someone asked if they could be offended but I only agreed to get the biscuits

Ah, fair enough toab …… I must have got confused by you saying, “I’m not half as offended as you lot seem to be”

OH, see what you mean, yes I suppose so – I was just suprised the topic got such a response. Hadn’t realised people were Shib baiting all along.

Can you believe they’re STILL arguing over ordaining women as “Bishops”? Whatever THAT is…

I think it has something to do with not having enough loos of the right type or something.

Is it because women can’t move diagonally? Or is it that bishops can’t move straight towards the nearest handbag shop?

I’m trying to promote my new business!

Going to branch out into vegan fisheries if the farms take off!

You wore him out? Poor bloke – just a spent husk of his former self. 😥

CFH, is there any more tea? This is a bit stewed now.

I was hoping Shibboleth would come back with more. This thread has only allowed me to get halfway through my packet of ChocChip’n’Coconut Maryland™ Cookies.

Freddy, the bar’s open now. I’m having to stay on the soft stuff until this blasted call is over!

Large Macallan 18 please. I’ve got chips and a homemade chilli salsa dip here.

The issue isn’t about whether or not they dislike gay people, the issue is that they run a business, which like all businesses is subject to discrimination laws and they fell foul of those laws.

They were fined, and the matter should be closed. They may have repulsive views, but these views shouldn’t be allowed to translate into a commercial enterprise.

I hope that this case might set a precedent and get some of the backwards privileges that the church enjoys regarding woman bishops changed as well.

Shibby seems to tun up every few months or so, says something highly contentious that is guaranteed to get a reaction, insult people left right and centre, then disappear again. And probbly bask in his ‘notoriety’.

Strikes me as a reasonably intelligent person, so I can only assume he’s a bit of a troll really.

As for the ruling itself; good result in my onion. About time people moved into the 21st century and started thinking for themselves really.

Is it because women can’t move diagonally? Or is it that bishops can’t move straight towards the nearest handbag shop?

Don’t know why, but this cracked me up 😀

Let’s add some perspective with a sobering story…

My younger brother once lived with A Gay…and one day he walked in on him and his ‘friend’ kissing in the kitchen. Yes, that’s right, near the food preparation areas!

Needless to say, whenever I visited I made sure we ate out.

I made sure we ate out.

Fish supper?

‘Tis indeed a sobering story McHamish. I have a first cousin who is “married” to another fella, and whilst I am always happy to shake his hand at family reunions, I always scrupulously wash my hands afterwards …….. for obvious reasons.

I’m suprised no one has started quoting Leviticus yet.

I wonder if they ever served shrimp, do they have a menu posted on the site?
