    Are you serious? You feel your rights and freedoms are restricted? What are you restricted from doing and what are you not free to do if you really want to?

    If you have to ask there's no point in detailing stuff in this thread, read the other threads in this forum to see how the church lobbys hard to restrict the rights and freedoms of people as young as 4 and in the past how they lobbied hard to stop state marriage being extended to lesbians and gays.

    Hmmm. This might explain why I am having so much trouble getting my non-stamp collectors club up and running...

    Whatever about your non-stamp collectors club ... there is certainly a very vocal Atheist lobby in this country and on this forum ... amazing that such a thing exists even though some Atheists claim to have nothing in common with each other.

    Somebody is incorrect ... and the evidence would suggest its the people who claim that Atheists have nothing in common with each other and/or cannot organise themselves to work together to common ends.

    That's something that I also find odd-and I say this as someone who's like 'meh, I'm spiritual'-but I don't go anywhere on a sunday morning. I don't want the hassle.

    Which is why I find it odd when I hear of atheist ireland meetings-surely a lot of that is just hassle, why not just send a newsletter?

    Surely that's just as irritating as going to mass? Different day, same hassle.

    The purpose of these meetings (afaik - I've never been to an AI meeting, am not a member, but have read some of their circulars) is really secularism, but from an atheist viewpoint. AI cooperate with other secularist organisations (which, apart from the Humanist Association of Ireland, are all theists!)

    Of course minority religions are OK with secularism as it suits them. The majority religion is, of course, bitterly opposed to secularism.

    The question was raised before here, would not Atheist Ireland be better named Secularist Ireland? I would disagree, because there are other secularist organisations, and if every shade of theism gets to have its own organisation there should also be one to represent the atheist point of view.

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    This latest tantrum from the religious snowflakes appears, as expected, to have been a waste of everyone's time.

    majority rather than unanimous decision

    Some people on the BAI actually saw merit in the complaints.

    How can they complain about what is Catholic doctrine? If you take the literal Catholic view of transubstantiation then eating it is cannibalism. If you take the figurative view, that it is imbued with the spirit of Jesus then it is bread that is haunted. If they have issue with this then they can take it up with their priest. You can't go getting all 'that's blasphemous' just because Blind Boy put it bluntly and in plain language.

    Because the oh so tolerant liberals would never whine about something that upsets them.

    Your post has nothing to do with my post, I don't know why you quoted me. Unless you had nothing of value to add so are trying to deflect.

    Seems more suited to the abortion thread no?

    Oh yeah Blind boy. Is that well heeled Blindboy from a posh part of Limerick who puts on a Limerick working class accent to stick it to the man?

    It's putting blindboy and his musing in context. Pretending to be something that he most definitely is not tells a lot about him IMO.

    You use the term 'religious snowflakes' to describe those who complained about the offensive material. I'm showing you that the other side can complain just as much.

    I love the way some posters start with 'we don't care...' Are you speaking for all 10,000 boards members or just yourself.

    The other side in this is RTÉ/Blindboy. Your example is irrelevant derailment.

    Our tax euros at work :rolleyes:

    Just wait until the repeal amendment campaign actually starts... the rate things are going, RTE will probably prohibit the use of the word 'abortion' due to fear of being sued by the god botherers.

    Fingal County Council are certainly not competent to be making decisions about the most important piece of infrastructure on the island. They need to stick to badly designed cycle lanes and deciding on whether Mrs Murphy can have her kitchen extension.

    I know someone who uses the word 'abortion' as in 'its a complete abortion' to mean made a mess of. It really grates with me - I think because it is using a word of really some significance in such a casual way.

    What's wrong with Maynooth? It's an NUI, like UCD, UCC and UCG (NUIG).

    NUI's 'academics' used to be priest ridden, I imagine that mindset persisted there longer than in the likes of UCD.
