    donkeykong5, this is a forum where assertions unsupported by facts are, quite rightly, derided.

    To prevent loss of face you could (a) support your assertions with facts (b) refrain from making such unsupported assertions.

    Up to you.

    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.

    Your joke made no sense. Next time you're in mass you might wish to Jesus for a sense of humour.

    No need. Thank god. I have a great sense of humour. More important things to be praying for. Mainly the way pc brigade are taking over this country recently.

    Would have thought world hunger and stopping wars would take higher priority then praying against people that want equality for their fellow human beings.

    On the subject of stopping world hunger and war, hows that praying working out for you so far? Still no effect eh? Amazing stuff.

    Of course I suppose if you pray against equality, technical you're praying for more hate and devisions to exist, this in term is a cause for many wars and deaths. Might explain why praying for wars to stop isn't working out so far.

    You might want to rethink what you're praying for :pac:

    I wasn't talking about that, it was the "Whitefriar St is totally packed" claim which you haven't backed up.

    Many if not most parishes have reduced the number of Sunday masses by 30-50% since the 80s, so any impression of 'fullness' has to be balanced against the reduced number of services.

    I'm surprised that nobody's adapted Dara O'Briain's gag about alternative medicine and suggested that "alternative facts" are "alternatives to facts".

    i don't think anyone's annoyed that you said that particular mass was well attended, even without photographic evidence or going to see it myself , i have little reason, other than your evident bias, to doubt you and its far from inconceivable that this particular weekly service is well attended.

    However this is not a basis of proof that the number of those identifying or practicing as Catholics is in terminal decline not just here but across most of the western world

    You're pretty messed up if you pray for hate, devision or war.

    Fair play to the Family and Media Association for getting the joke a wider audience, I for one intend to refer to it as "haunted bread" from now on.
    Just to follow up on my first post, I heard this come up as a topic on the most recent episodes of both Scathing Atheist(ep205) and Cognitive Dissonance(ep339).
    They're two pretty popular podcasts as far as I know so the Family and Media Association really excelled themselves in pushing this joke to a wider topic.

    Here's hoping that they can make "haunted bread" an internationally used phrase.

    i've never heard of either of them. i had a quick look at the web page for the first and really lost interest incredibly quickly. i suspect the family and media association have little to fear from them.

    They've little to fear from Blindboy but it doesn't stop them whining about being offended. Now they have themselves to thank for the coverage.

    Blindboy says so much stupid stuff-but the haunted bread thing was a satirical joke. That said, that people are taking his comment as seriously as the 'all men need feminism' kind of shows how silly his views are.

    I mean seriously, the Simpsons have made harsher jokes, and that's shown before the watershed.

    I pray for an improvement in the standard of spelling on these pages. 'Devision'? It seems more than one poster needs a dictionary....

    Indeed, as I said, more than one poster. But you should familiarise yourself with the Good Book, and 'not follow a multitude to do evil'. ;)

    If you read back on my posts you will realise that I am very familiar with " the good book". And despise evil in all forms.

    You are right, a dictionary is a very good book, and your point is so true - the multitudes really do have problems with spelling.

    blindboy, who is a middle class guy living on the Ennis road, is making big bucks with his faux Limerick working class accent. Little of what he says or does would be regarded as genuine in Limerick.

    no, it shows how silly the people are who can't tell the difference between genuine comment and a joke.

    though we're not short of that type of person in ireland.

    Is this theistic virtue signalling?
