Now all we need to do is convince PZ Myers it's his idea first, Pat Condell too the same, and ditto Fred Phelps, and then we could have a fine ecumenical fest.

Dove World Outreach Center, an odd name for a church that promotes hatred.

From the article:



Well, no surprises there.

Would it not be good for these "christians" to remove the planks from their eyes first? How would they feel if their local mosque burned copies of the bible? Whatever happened to "loving thy neighbour"?

If there is to be "holy" book burning, it would surely be better just do the whole lot of them

Luke 6:27-36

It is clear to me that Christians are the largest group of hypocrites on Earth. At least the Islamists are not being hypocritical. Much as I disagree with the Islamofascists, I am sad to say that at least they are not hypocrites - unlike the Christians. I suppose reading the Bible with all its hypocrisies, cruelties and errors leaves the Christians too confused to love their neighbours and their enemies. Of course, considering 1 Samuel 15 and how vindictive and sadistic the Biblical God is, it is hardly surprising that Christians want to burn the Quran.

Oh, ffs, fbloodyfs. I see. Right. I am goiing to blog about this, tomorrow, and I am going to be bloody sharp.

Thanks, for pointing this out, Lifelinking. Oh, the idiots. Of course they'll deny any sort of responsibility. Oh, ffs.

Officials in Gainesville, Florida have denied a burn permit for a church that is seeking to burn copies of the Quran on Sept. 11.

I wonder if they will seek some other place for the book burning?

Clearly, the officials have more sense than some hateful Christians who clearly don't love their neighbours and their enemies. Hypocrisy is the defining characteristic of EVERY CHRISTIAN I have met so far. I live with one, I should do.

I am married to my enemy and love her unconditionally because loving everyone unconditionally, infinitely and eternally is what I do best. You see, my wife is a British white Christian and I am a Bangladeshi brown ex-Muslim ex-Christian Strong Agnostic Atheist Compassionist Humanist and a Life Member of the Humanist Society of Scotland since the 12th of May 2010. I will give you some examples. On the 21st of August 2008, she shouted at me and hit me for being in bed due to having low mood due to my Ultradian Rapid Cycling Cyclothymia. She even asked me to have sex with others (pleural, not singular) so that she could be free of me. To set her free, I made a third level self-sacrifice and had sex with two sex workers that day but she changed her mind about divorcing me. Although she keeps threatening to divorce me even these days. For example, on 12 of June 2010 she threatened to divorce me. On the 21st of June 2010 (my birthday) she threatened to divorce me. On the 1st of July 2010 she threatened to divorce me. On the 16th of August 2010 she said that she would not make love (have sex) with me ever again. Although, as we came to visit her parents on the 17th of August 2010 for two nights despite what she had said on the 16th of August 2010, learning from my exemplary conduct, on the 18th of August 2010 she apologised and we made love (had sex) which was perfect. Love never fails. I recommend that you love everyone unconditionally, infinitely and eternally, just as I love everyone unconditionally, infinitely and eternally. I wish everyone a fulfilling and luminous life full of love.

Assuming that Christians don't have a Koran on their shelf they would be supposed to buy one to be burnt; wouldn't be more sensible to burn their banknotes outright?!

Cearly, sense and Christians don't go together!

Could have at least recycled them.

Like it, Manuel, - all holy books to be composted


That's kind of a given on this forum But then none of us talk sense all the time...

But, compassionist, love is a two-way street. The way you put it is like a pet - you are a (troubled, admittedly, but many of us are) human being, not an unconditional, infinate eternal being. I understand that giving is a comfortable place to be. But your pot of goodness and humanity, like everyone else's, needs to be kept topped up. Taking is important too... Have you made contact with your local mental health professionals yet?

Perhaps this off-topic bit of post should have been a PM, but there are people here who have met you, like you, care for you and are concerned for you...

Sorry for the offtopic posts. Maria, please split this and the previous post into a private thread. Thank you ever so much.
You see, there is an 1 in infinity probability that I really am an infinite and eternal being. After all, we are all unique. All I have to do is die and discover the rest of the truth. I can't wait to be dead. It's a pity that I can't self-terminate due to my duty of care towards other sentient beings. Never mind. Death will come in its own perfect time. Everything is proceeding inevitably according to causality. Did you know that I have donated 100% of all I own and all future income to Can With Candle?

I had a rectal examination by my wife yesterday. Sorry if this is too much information. I have had five rectal examinations so far. Two in Dundee and two in Aberdeen and one in Belfast. The second one was with a proctoscope and was extremely painful. I have a lot of anal spasms due to having beein raped on the 29th of April 1984. My wife found internal and external haemorroids. She is a doctor and she thinks that my chronic pain is caused by my internal haemorrohoids. You see, I had toothache in 2007 and I was prescribed dihydrocodeine which made me constipated. The GP shoud have prescribed lactulose with it but he had not. I am most disappointed by the service I have had from the British NHS so far. It seems that I don't have neuralgia after all. Since yesterday afternoon, I have been using Germoloid Ointment my wife bought for me from the pharmacist. It has been helping significantly to reduce the pain. I wish the GP in Aberdeen had prescribed me this two years ago.

Never mind all that. Please forgive me if all that was more than you wanted to know. How are you? What's your news? How come no one tells me much about themselves or their lives? Is it because I am lonely that I try so hard to make friends and end up scaring people away?
