Sock And Awe

Have fun throwing shoes at the man who started a war because his invisible friend told him to. Why couldn't god just have had a word with Saddam?

Just one piece of fun you should avoid around your neck of the woods - http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/scotland/article5375699.ece

Hi Epeeist,

I seem to get an error page :-(

Works for me in Firefox. Make sure you haven't got a break in the URL.

If you can't get there the headline is "Do the Hokey Cokey and you end up in the pokey

Church and politicians fear mockery of Catholic Mass in Puritan song may be hijacked by bigots"

Excellent...

Oh, oh, the Hokey Cokey
Oh, oh the Hokey Cokey
Oh, oh, the Hokey Cokey
Knees bend, arms stretch, ra! ra!ra!


How can that be offensive?

Now I am told it IS offensive - I will sing it more often. I will try and teach it to my son today.

That is just bizarre. hoc est enim corpus meum sounds nothing like it.

It is annoying that the catholics are looking for any excuse to attack rangers fans, yet their own fans clearly sing songs about the IRA or blowing up Mountbatten - bit of a difference and double standards methinks - I'm off to sing the potato song now!

Sock and Awe!!! Brilliant. On a sort of seasonal note have you ever seen the "Chunk Snowball" game:

It's pure dead brilliant.....

WARNING: It plays Rudolph the red nose reindeer and gets annoying after a while!

:-)))

Total aside since we don't see you or SG on the RD.net site all that frequently.

There was a blog on Guardian Science today - http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2008/dec/23/dawkins-jones-creationism-teaching?commentpage=1&commentposted=1

I noticed a certain "weeflea" had made a post in his usual sneering fashion. Pointed out that he was probably really David Robertson and that he had one or two problems with his own forum.

Went back a few hours later to find my post had been removed. I have since made a duplicate on RD.net and pointed the Guardian article at it. Obviously I can't prove it was DAR that requested its removal, but I am pretty certain it was.

I left this:

Wee Flea - aka David Robertson - did you have something to do with getting Epeeist's comment removed? It should be pointed out that David Robertson believes that eating an apple caused natural disasters -

read it for yourself here:

http://www.freechurch.org/issues/2005/jan05.htm

Robertson writes this:

"He makes one big mistake – he assumes that the world as it is now is the world as God created it. But that is not the case. When you read Genesis One notice the repeated refrain, ‘And God say that it was good’. God did not create the world to have natural disasters, cancer and death. Something came into the world which has upset the natural order of things and polluted the whole environment. That is why, as Paul tells us in Romans 8, the whole creation ‘groans as in the pangs of childbirth’. We are faced with two choices – either the world is as it is because that is the way things are, or things are the way things are because sin came in and corrupted a good and perfect creation."


I hold this up as evidence that creationists need remedial science lessons.

That was hilarious :-)

Billy, Eppeist - just been too busy of late to spend much time on RD.net. And besides, you guys are doing a sterling job :-))))))

Actually, I read some of that DR stuff and I think there may be some comments coming on.... He really does talk some pish. Funny how he goes away and then comes back again, just when you think its safe to go back into the water again. And then a torrent of comments flows...


Trouble is RD.net is like electronic heroin, its so addictive.

Glad you liked the snowball Billy - the "windaes doon low" are awfy hard tae hit... I wonder what the comments are when you hit them?
