Yes, obviously it was nonsense. There was not figuring it out. But Barry jumped on, for all the usual reasons, and then had to backtrack. As I recall, (reading fast as I do), he didn't issue a retraction, just came at it differently to issue a new put down of some sort. Maybe I have that wrong. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Your favorite because you feel it let's you point out the stupidity of people here?

yes, some are quite humorous. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : My favorite, because it appears to be a real graphic from believers trying to show how stupid atheists are... sounds just like jr_esq or Buck, doesn't it? Oh dear, now we're into the dueling quotes portion of our "discussion". They're a dime a dozen and some are wonderful and clever and funny and cutting from both sides of the debate. bawee seems to have wanted to flood his post with the things.

A fine selection, I like the one from Rowan Atkinson. He made it during the debate the UK had on whether the blasphemy law should be extended to other faiths than Christianity. This came as a shock to most of us because we didn't know there still was a blasphemy law. It was Tony (I only know what I believe) Blair's idea, he was bowing to Muslim pressure to make them feel more included in society after the inevitable rise in suspicion after 9/11. Another insinuation was that they might be less likely to go a-suicide bombing if we stopped making fun of Allah. Turns out that the ones who were likely to get "radicalised" will still do that anyway. It's good to debate these things but most smart people were dead against it and even though the law was extended to all faiths in 2006, the whole thing was abandoned a few years later. A smart move by the Labour government I think. So we are free to make as many vicar/mullah jokes as we like now and not fear prosecution - just getting attacked in the street by any passing cognitive dissonance sufferers. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : My favorite, because it appears to be a real graphic from believers trying to show how stupid atheists are... sounds just like jr_esq or Buck, doesn't it?
