Well, successfully following a religion is all about knowing which 'legends, fables' to reject and which to invest in, these priest guys know their stuff having studied advanced godology for years, so best listen to them

Looks like some Irish Christians are promising to attack any Muslim man, woman or child that attempts to enter a mosque. Leaflet was sent to some mosques and Muslims in Dublin.

Some seriously bad grammar there.

Ah - religion.

Here we have members of the Religion of Love threatening to attack members of the Religion of Peace...:rolleyes:

They haven't plaid any part of our history.

They weren't kilt in the name of freedom? Let's hope they're not tartan feathered.

Talk about rambling. They need snappier points.

Also:

Were there any muslims prior to 1959?

Probably...

Could you charge somebody with "incitement to hatred" for writing that?

recedite · 23-11-2013 12:48PM

Its worse than incitement, its actual threats of physical violence. But you would have a job trying to track down the author. Any idiot can print hate literature. Paper never refuses ink.

Judging from the appalling grammar and near total historical cluelessness, they probably typed and printed the lot in a net cafe that has them on camera.

....a pathetic effort, but thankfully we've had very very little of that sort of nonsense. Doubtless it will stop when mammy won't buy them any more printer ink.

Anyone willing to bet that these morons are also in Jugendschutz?

Sarky · 23-11-2013 11:32PM

I'd honestly be surprised if there wasn't some overlap. Youth Defence are the main players in Ireland when it comes to political violent idiocy.

Why did they pluralize country? o.O

Only if you exclude the so-called 'republicans'.

But there's probably plenty of overlap.

Printers each put unique identifiers on everything they print, wouldn't that hard to track the authors down if the cops were bothered.

Having solved all of its problems, Afghanistan considers reintroducing stoning for adulters:

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/nov/25/afghanistan-reintroduction-public-stoning-adulterers

The Guardian wrote:

Afghan government officials have proposed reintroducing public stoning as a punishment for adultery, Human Rights Watch said, even though the practice has been denounced both inside and outside the country as one of the most repugnant symbols of the Taliban regime.

The sentence for married adulterers, along with flogging for unmarried offenders, appears in a draft revision of the country's penal code being managed by the ministry of justice. There are several references to stoning in a translated section of the draft seen by the Guardian, including detailed notes on judicial requirements for handing down the sentence.

"Men and women who commit adultery shall be punished based on the circumstances to one of the following punishments: lashing, stoning [to death]," article 21 states. The draft goes on to specify that the stoning should be public, in article 23. News that the government is contemplating bringing back a much-reviled punishment is unlikely to go down well with the western governments that back Kabul.

"It is absolutely shocking that 12 years after the fall of the Taliban government, the Karzai administration might bring back stoning as a punishment," said Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch. "President Karzai needs to demonstrate at least a basic commitment to human rights and reject this proposal out of hand."

The penalty violates international human rights standards that ban torture and cruel and inhuman punishment, the rights group said in statement. When a video surfaced a year ago of a 21-year-old woman being stoned to death in an insurgent-controlled village just a few dozen miles from Kabul, it was strongly condemned by government officials as well as rights groups and diplomats.

Party conference: Teach creationism in science class - 40% of DUP

The survey, carried out at the DUP's annual conference, shows a party where the religious right still exercises more influence than in the general population, but where opinion may be broadening.

We surveyed 50 party members, out of just under 300, at the first day of conference at La Mon Hotel on the outskirts of Belfast.

Creationism is the belief that the world, animals and plants were created "by a supernatural being less than 10,000 years ago".

I don't know if this is a hazard or funny but there is a post on my FB about "this one person said haha god i dont believe in you once and then they DIED and then this other person said lol there is no god and they DIED HORRIBLY AND ALONE" and the number of people thanking, posting "amen", and "jesus is love" is rather disturbing

The spelling in this is actually pretty good. Pity about the punctuation. I'd say that the spelling alone puts this in the higher echelons of quality facebook comments.

D'ya know, my grandmother believed in god and she DIED HORRIBLY. So, um... Everyone dies is what I'm saying, I guess...

Okay on a computer now so here it actually is:

A man of 32 years, was smoking, while smoking his cigarette, he puffed out some smoke into the air and said:'God, that's for you.'
He died at the age of 32 of LUNG CANCER in a horrible manner.
The man who built the Titanic
After the construction of Titanic, a reporter asked him how safe the Titanic would be.
With an ironic tone he said: 'Not even God can sink it'
The result: I think you all know what happened to the Titanic
Marilyn Monroe (Actress)
She was visited by Billy Graham during a presentation of a show.
He said the Spirit of God had sent him to preach to her.
After hearing what the Preacher had to say, she said:
'I don't need your Jesus'.
A week later, she was found dead in her apartment
Bon Scott (Singer)
The ex-vocalist of the AC/DC. On one of his 1979 songs he sang:
'Don't stop me; I'm going down all the way, down the highway to hell'.
On the 19th of February 1980, Bon Scott was found dead, he had been choked by his own vomit.
Campinas (IN 2005)
In Campinas , Brazil a group of friends, drunk, went to pick up a friend.....
The mother accompanied her to the car and was so worried about the drunkenness of her friends and she said to the daughter holding her hand, who was already seated in the car:
'My Daughter, Go With God And May He Protect You.'
She responded: 'Only If He (God) Travels In The Trunk, Cause Inside Here.....It's Already Full '
Hours later, news came by that they had been involved in a fatal accident, everyone had died, the car could not be recognized what type of car it had been, but surprisingly, the trunk was intact.
The police said there was no way the trunk could have remained intact. To their surprise, inside the trunk was a crate of eggs, none was broken Christine Hewitt (Jamaican Journalist & entertainer) said the Bible (Word of God) was the worst book ever written.
In June 2006 she was found burnt beyond recognition in her motor vehicle.
Many more important people have forgotten that there is no other name that was given so much authority as the name of Jesus.
Many have died, but only Jesus died and rise again, and he is still alive....
'Jesus'
I have done my part by sharing this with you, Jesus said 'If you are embarrassed about me,
I will also be embarrassed about you before my father.'
You are my 8 in 8 seconds. I am not breaking this.. No way!
I'M TOLD THIS WORKS!!!!! Bishop T..D. Jakes '8 Second Prayer.' Just repeat this prayer and see how God moves!!

'Lord, I love you and I need you, come into my heart, and bless me, my family, my home, and my friends, in Jesus' name. Amen.'
Pass this message round by a simple like and type "Amen"
You will receive a miracle tomorrow. I Hope that you don't ignore.

The trunk was intact! Hahaha.
