    Well in fairness they're applying a fictional story from TV to their logic based on a fictional book written just over 1000 years ago. Two made up stories don't add up to truth to me.
    And this post is itself made up! Metafiction or what?

    (No part of the bible was written "just over 1,000 years ago". The bible consists of various texts which took their present form at different times between 1,900 and 2,800 years ago.)

    While the last gospel was estimated to be written around 100 CE, there were additions and changes made after that. But I agree that it's unlikely anything was written just over 1000 years ago as far as the bible is concerned except of course for interpretations made by the different denominations like Martin Luther's editing.

    Yes, you've read that right. In an attempt to demonise RTE and show that secularism is an evil godless religion, the idiots writing articles for Alive have gone all weak in the knees over a recent spat between Miriam O'Callaghan and Choudary on Prime Time (in the February issue).

    Describing Miriam as a proponent of the "secularist religion" and "trapped in a narrow, secularist view", despite herself being probably the most catholic and conservative of all RTE presenters, in a bloated contest Alive! has lambasted the views of RTE and the western world.

    Some highlights:
    Alive! wrote:
    This was not a clash between secularism and Islam. As Choudary could see and O'Callaghan failed to see, it was about deep contradictions in secularism itself, issues we would still need to face, even if islam did not exist.

    ...

    What kind of morality, for example, is enshrined in the "live and let live" value system? [a damned sight more than Alive!s one] Does justice or care for the poor fit into it? [given that Alive! is writing from a conservative catholic view, which hates justice and thinks the poor are there because of their own failings, this is a strange line to take] Does "let live" include the unborn [does the "pro-life" views of anti-abortionists mean they support the lives of living women over not yet living clumps of cells? Don't be silly, of course not. Life is only precious before it exists]

    ...

    Modern secularist ideology has lead to as much evil as any system in history [a blatant lie, but then again Alive! has never broadcast the truth]

    And my favourite, a veiled threat that all those who don't share Alive!s (lack of) values will be killed:
    The Paris attack brought forward that day of reckoning. RTE staff urgently need training in how to challenge this ideology [secularism]

    How ****ed-up is this? Let me count the ways:
    1) Alive! is cheerleading an advocate of mass murder.
    2) Alive! is cheerleading an advocate of intolerant racism.
    3) Alive! is cheerleading an advocate of religious war, and the killing of non believers (of his personal religion).
    4) Alive! is demonising the one system of governance designed to protect their religious freedoms.
    5) Alive! is championing a man, who, if he ruled Ireland would have them all put up against a wall and shot, or worse.
    6) Alive! is calling Mrs. O'Callaghan a secularist.
    7) Alive! is grossly libelling secularism.
    I could go on.

    Got one of these through the door last week after moving to Carrick-On Shannon. Had never seen or heard of it before, it's hilarious but kind of terrifying too.

    Well, we do like to discuss the beauty of God's creation that is the Hawaiian pizza.

    God is not real. Hawaiian pizza is clearly man-made. No omnipotent deity would put pineapple on a pizza. Something like that can only be done by man, who is fallible.

    I'm certain that the man who invented pizza, Jim Pizza, would be horrified at the thought of pineapple on a pizza.

    Apparently it was invented in Canada in the 60s.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,644 ✭✭✭✭lazygal


    Nah, Jim's cool. He also invented the Hawaiian pizza.

    Pineapple or chicken on a pizza are the worst sin imaginable.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,113 ✭✭✭shruikan2553


    Putting pineapple on a pizza is unnatural and it's not real pizza as god doesn't approve.


  • Registered Users Posts: 28,111 ✭✭✭✭looksee


    I like pineapple on pizza

    Bacon and pepperoni on pizza is the best. Therefore, if there's a god, they don't care about keeping it kosher/halal, so that's Judaism and Islam disproven. :pac:

    With the one true Dog all things are possible, even pineapple on pizza.

    Yeah, that banning muslims and jews from eating pork is way worse than the apple in the garden thing. Like apples are kind of mank and knowledge is over-rated but pork and bacon is the best food ever :D

    These ananaphobic attacks need to end, if pineapple and pizza dough wish to co-habit then why should anyone wish to enforce discrimination against them!

    Pineapple on pizza is banned in at least two US states.*

    If you want me to eat pineapple on my pizza, you should be prepared to eat pepperoni on your ice cream.

    Nah, spicy tandoori chicken, with extra jalapenos.

    Nearly had stewed plums and blue cheese on pizza tonight, but I repented at the last second and had duck instead. Must get to confession on Sunday after these unpure desires manifested themselves.

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer
