Being an agnostic fence sitter, I am curious if fully committed Atheists celebrate Christmas in any way.
I was once friends of a Jehovah's witness family and they didn't acknowledge it at all

Marc Meakin

Probably should be in a different thread but anyway.
Should atheists celebrate Christmas?

I hope he isn't one of those vegan weirdos who put their dog or cat a meat free diet

I don't know if it is true but i read in the Scum that Hindu temples are refusing donations made with the new fiver

Mark Meakin's nephew Danny Dyer (21st century's answer to Shakespeare) I highly recommend his Who Do You Think You Are (Danny Dyer's, not Marc Meakin's.. that hasn't been on yet). I bet Meakin's old girl didn't know she was marrying into royalty.. When you say old girl, you mean sister. Though to b...

To say that an ideology is misguided or not is a matter of opinion. To say that it is logical or not is a matter of fact. You can see the logic of an ideology without agreeing with it in the slightest. I have difficulty with the view that it is right to kill a person or animal but that you would no...

Marc Meakin

I fail to see any logic in a misguided ideaology.
He can't even claim to be a Christian terrorist.
I do agree however that I would not personally want to kill anyone ever, although that also goes with slaughtering mammals for food

Marc Meakin

Only if you consider him worthy of being called a human being. I was clearly making a distinction between putting a creature down if it had rabies or whatever and a danger to society. And a human being. I think murder in cold blood should always carry a death penalty outside of War. I guess unless i...

Marc Meakin

Probably should be on a new thread but shouldn't that evil bastard who murdered Jo Cox , be given the death penalty rather than waste hundreds of thousands of tax payers money to incarcerate them. No society should ever kill another human. But evil scum like this should lose their human status and b...

Two things. Rain by status quo is a good example of a mondagreen. Sounds like. I cannot live without Lorraine. Also about a year ago I started shopping only in shops that gave out free paper bags. I was cycling back from the library with my hardback books in a Primani bag. Within two minutes of a to...

Having done a bit of research it looks like the kids of today are referencing the urban dictionary, rather than the stuffy O.E.D

Looks like you're now the out of touch oldie according to Euan.

I always think of the Bambi episode by the Young Ones when I think of University Challange. Btw Paxman is piss poor as the presenter. He rarely hurries the teams He does hurry the teams, but usually only towards the end of the quiz, or at other times if the team deliberate for ages. Compare him to ...

As an old person , please tell me is bar an acronym for before anyone else or is it just a lazy slang term like fam ?

Yeah I certainly didn't mean anything that Roman Catholicism advocates with regards to homosexuality ,abortion and contraception. My Christian type values is to be tolerant of others and help someone less able than you . Most of the ten commandments are ok too. I do admit you don't have to be a Chri...

Just realised my grammatical error there. You did make 2 + 2 =5 five though. Still, everything in its right place, eh. i might of thought you was getting at me.

The alphabet song and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star have the same tune, and Baa Baa Black Sheep basically is too. This is the first one that's blown my mind. Also, the alphabet song is a complete car crash after P, but people persist with it anyway. It's really good for learning the first 16 letters ...

That reminded me of last saturday when one of the contestants on the X factor, was murdering Creep by Radiohead my girlfriend said that it sounded like the Hollies Air that I Breathe. I googled it to find that Radiohead had to give the Hollies songwriters credit as a result of this at the time of it...

Yes but if the pythons made the Life of Malcolm making fun of the prophet Mohammed , it wouldn't get past the censors nowadays. Plus after Charlie Hebdo what studio would risk making it

I know FIFA is based in neutral Switzerland but surely they can acknowledge that there have been wars.

I do agree that you arr right but society today does not want to offend anyone.
You cannot even assume someone's gender these days without fear of upsetting someone

It's not a new thing though I remember years ago Tesco's were forced to ditch a piggy bank logo on its til receipts etc for dear of losing its Muslim customers. I remember during the IRA bombings, nobody was afraid to mock them. I think Muslim fundementalism is a different ballgame. Suicide bombings...

For the sake of fairness maybe atheists should be mocked when they die and made to wear t shirts saying all dressed up and nowhere to go.
To be honest most things should be able to accept a bit of mockery, says someone posting on a geeky forum about the love of Countdown

Here's one for us. A quiz based on guessing the wrong answer. For example using a similar system to pointless. Name an English team that has won the European cup.
