Bikes in church

i often offer to make tea at 4:30 when i know everyone else is about to go home.

Wise move !

or to paraphrase that great geligious scholar eddie izzard: "i think that jesus did exist and that he had some groovy ideas in the peace and love/ghandi type area."

and that was probably about it.

This, in my opinion is a recent (post Victorian) attempt to sanitize the ridiculous superstitious and violent nonsense in the bible. the attempt to re-brand Jesus as kind, meek, gentle and just plain groovy.

And yet the very scripture that is the only 'evidence' (cough-cough) for this character has him condone what we would consider vile and barbarous actions. Jesus condones things like rape, murder and slavery - he even goes as far as to instruct on how badly you should beat your slaves (basically don't kill them, but if you do beat them so hard they die make sure it is not so hard that they die within the first two days after the beating).

And Ghandi was a fucking racist too! :) so I also don't understand him being held up as a icon of love and peace (indeed he is widely quoted as saying that 'peace' was a tactic, if violence would have worked then that is the route he would have taken), he certainly did an enormous amount of good for the Indian people and led them out of British colonial rule, but the bloke was still a bigot. Perhaps just the norm for the time (?)

Separation from the blacks anyone ? He had a lead on the South Africans !

This is a anomaly of liberalism - it promotes absolute cunts to be heroes, and traduces heroes into scoundrels. There is often little appetite for the truth, people are more comfortable with 'cartoon' characters like 'lovely old Ghandi' and 'gentle Jesus', 'Princess Diana the princess of our hearts' and 'kindly old Mother Theresa'

Oh yeah, and Mother Theresa, she was an absolute cunt ! Probably one of the worst, if I could put one person on trial it would be that fucking witch.

Now, let there be killing.
