You can name you kids after MH as its a sign of respect - akin to latinos calling their Kids Jesus - you are not actually saying that yer kid is a prophet


naming a teddy after MH could be viewed ( in a suinty way by some ) to be attempting to create an effigy of a prophet for fetishment purposes and thats against the rules, cos its Idolatry and thats expressly forbidden



It gets complicated here, but its all to do with images or recreations of living things mocking rather than glorifying AL, cos hes made them and any attempt to copy his work is sort of koran copyright and a big sin ( depending on how you interpret it of course )

our government and Royal Family were browning nosing King Fahd of Saudi Arabia


In fact, the Queen et al were just doing as they were told. I am sure they are not that enamoured with the Saudi regime, nor with that of the Chinese etc. It's very unlikely the Queen would say 'I'm not going to shake that man's hand/break bread with him/put him up in the palace'. Nero

But one has to be embracing of all cultures surely.


Even if they endorse the oppression of women and rape?


Well apparently yes, according to that lobotomising, barbiturate of an interpretation of modern liberalism that is so popular.


(Apologies for my causticity but growing up in Africa gives one a slightly jaded view point on these things.)

IT depends on what subject is being discussed



If its got Gods backing, then you cant critisise


Example of belief held :


BNP = extreme views, but NO god given authority , thefore you can slag them off & gag them


Radical Islam ( or hard line Catholisism or US Born Again Christinaity ) = extreme views, but HAVE god Given permission to do it, so you should be carful not to offend


MY opinion ? - Let them all speak and debate in public if they want to hold such views and broadcast them, bu that might leave them exposed to some unfortunate questions that they will not be able to dodge

IMO religion is just another word for hypocrisy.


Take the CofE for instance. Wants to be exempt from the law regarding discrimination of gays yet in the same breath they tell us only god can judge. The only religion that's ever made any sense to me is Budhism, partly because god b*ll*cks not included.

Any religion that professes to know right from wrong, while preaching intolerance and hatred, is just plain wrong. If they have a human written book as your source of divine rules, then tell me they ain't human rules. Add to that how much interpretation can change in a moment (blessed are the cheesemakers) leave alone in the course of a century or two (they don't refer to cheesemakers literally but makers of all dairy products), throw in some stuffy councils 500 years and 800 years and 1500 years after the facts, or learned interpretations 1400 years later, and well, you end up with nice teachers jailed for playing with teddy bears.


Regards Snorky's final point, I'm with you. All this inciting-hatred law stuff is counter-productive. You can't kill ideas by imprisoning the progenitors and preachers of those ideas. You have to allow open discourse else all you serve to do is create martyrs and glorify those ideas.

Agreed.


I was reading that thing about Fred Phelpes, and was surprised to hear about the good work he did as a lawer for black rights, and started to think where did it all go wrong, but then you read about why he was disbarred, and it becomes clear that the man is obviously a nasty nasty psycho!


I remember Louis Theroux getting a few minutes with him, and you could see the anger and hate in his eyes at being questioned!

Its stone age isnt it .


Apart from the specific shooting bit, the sentiments are positively troglodytic.


but we have to rewpect it cos its a belief you see - god told them it was OK to do this


Anyone fancy Joining the Church of Everlasting Snorky ( ED branch ) ? - where we basically disregard all licencing, smoking & soft drug laws and get ripped to the gills every Friday nights with complete impunity - cos its our belief - God told us to do this as part of the weekly worship.

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
