Brendan Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 If we could get going to the pub to be classed as a religious activity would they stop taxing the bejesus out of beer?

PeckhamRose Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 I don't care if they study humanism or atheism. The point is they should be allowed to study the possibility that (a) there is no God and all this happened by geological physical chance (I'm reading The End of Mr Y at the moment and it's doing my head in but I so recommend it), and they should be allowed to study it without religiously biased teachers (ie. not a faith school, then) telling them that it is perfectly acceptable to do so.There MAY be a god. I just choose to live my life assuming there isn't, and I choose to try and be nice NOT because I am scared of hell, but because, oh it's just a better option. I'm not an angel though ;) Not even a hell's angel.

mockney piers Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Sorry for the last line Annasf' http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1343&Itemid=59But I can't really see the point of this (the original story obviously). I'm not exactly partial to a religious advert on a bus or the evangelists on the street corner telling you you'll burn in hell, but do two wrongs make a right? (that's probably a bit rhetorical thinking about it) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/4224-british-humanist-association-need-support-from-parents-ofand-kids-who-want-to-study-humanism-too/page/3/#findComment-141779 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Max Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Fair play to Dawkins, he's given a thousand short-of-ideas ministers and vicars easy inspiration for their sermons this week. Stupid idea, though.

Jeremy Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Of course I endorse the message... but the posters don't say anything new, they're just deliberately courting cheap controversy. They're hardly going to "convert" anyone, are they?

PeckhamRose Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 They're not intending to convert anyone. Just to make people think. Which is never a bad idea. It's not cheap! It cost ?20,000!
