Aha! A faith based philosophy traced back to a messiah from a far off land... whilst ultimately sourced from the stars we are fortunate that there is a 'book' detailing knowledge otherwise lost to mankind.


We are lucky to have both apostles and gospels. There are 'versions' and 'translations' and open to 'interpretation' but not unlike the treaties of Nicea they are currently being rewritten to meet the needs of the modern world...

I say to doctors who use homepathy: if you can identify this you'd have discovered a whole new force in physics. either there is no effect, in which case you shouldnt be charging people money, or there is an effect, in which case you should prove it and win the Nobel Prize.

Richard dawkins - God Delusion

To be honest so did I.

Surely if he's such an intellectual heavyweight, picking on some chanters and a couple of rubbish mediums should be well below his station.


Panorama following a couple of lads in Newham trying not to avoid gang culture was much more interesting and a little heartbreaking.

Like I said before he is a complete wanker. I met him when he spoke at Rhodes University in SA in 1997 (ish ?) and took an instant dislike to him.


He has valid arguments and has done some very good work but so do/have many people who don?t feel the need to go bullishly shoving their beliefs down other people?s throats.

I just plain hate it.

Apparently, we're all too stoopid to concentrate on an hour-long programme (on one subject) at 10.35pm, and have to be spoon-fed an half-hour multi-story magazine-style effort earlier in the evening. We've already got a shedload of programmes like 'Inside Out' for people to ignore whilst they're doing the crossword.. why do we need another one?


And they mucked-about with the theme music - sacrilege.

Personally I like the man. I think his assuredness and confidence in his own beliefs is a welcome antidote to the mindless drivel spouted by the types of people he interviewed. His is sure of these due to them being based on science and rigorous testing.


Not all mumbo-jumbo is harmless. The awful persecution of the attendees of a spiritualisty church by a "vicar-medium" who purported to be in contact with the dead was nothing more than exploitation. These people should not merely be dismissed as loons who are to be ignored in the vain hope they will go away. They undermine everything 21st century civilisation should stand for and Dawkins should be applauded for taking the fight to them.

Anything to do with the church and scaring people into belief is vile in my eyes.


Is that all he focused on? I mean he taked to people who talked crap all night? I thought he was going to talk to actual medical practitioners, Reiki, Homepaths, Alexander Technique, Bowen, NLP, EFT....etc....great he talks to some religious nut and we're all lumped into the same pot.

That's next week! This week he did psychics, mediums, tarot readers, spiritualists, aura-readers etc etc. The type of people who have stalls at "new-age fayres[sic]" and sell magic crystals for ?10 quid a pop.


Next week we get the juicy stuff. Charlatans proclaiming to cure the world's ills through homeopathy/reiki/crystals/hot stones etc etc. Try telling that to the third world whilst they wait for innoculations against TB, malaria, polio, typhoid and river blindness.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
