Gays responsible for the fall of the roman empire and the Japanese tsunami - Devine vengeance??

[sp1814]

Is the spread of religious idiocy the new mantra for the 21st century?

He's a friend of Berlusconi (that's not a euphemism, by the way), so it's hardly surprising.

He looks as if he has had seven inches up him just before the photo was taken.

What a lot of Daily Mail piffle.

No doubt the DM fanatics will be all over this shortly and we all know who they are.

In short, a load of w-nk.

My guess is that we'll be hearing, "Well, it's his opinion and at least he's now cowed by the PC lobby".

Practically writes itself.

It's weird though isn't it...as long as you follow a hardline religious doctrine, be it Islam, COfE or Catholism, you can say anything, and claim it to be fact.

Bizarre.

Gays responsible for the fall of the roman empire.
Well documented but this is in The Mail must be lies

The most reliable estimate suggested that up to half of US Catholic priests are homosexual.
This is from The Guardian so it must be true

And what have the Japanese done to deserve the tsunami?

"Well documented but this is in The Mail must be lies "

What?

It sickens me that certain people of the religious persuasion think that the unimaginable horror experienced by the Japanese people as a result of the massive earthquake and subsequent tsunami is the work of an all powerful God. This would be the same God that religious people claim loves all mankind... except those who He chooses to kill for no obvious reason.

I'm sure that most swivel-eyed fundamentalist religious lunatics could explain why God chose to kill those particular people. Most of the arguments that I have heard assume that everyone killed was an evil and nasty sinner who deserved to die. However, I've never had it fully explained to me how a baby, who is only a few days or a few weeks old, can be such an abomination to God that He feels the need to extinguish his/her existence in such a violent and indiscriminate manner.

Maybe some religious person could enlighten me?

Some daft bat of a Minister (United Reform Church) wrote in the religious spot in our local freebie this month that God made the world with many dangerous regions and people shouldn't settle in these regions unless prepared to accept the consequences.

She really was scraping the belief barrel IMO.

I think you will find that most religious people, of whatever persuasion, will disavow such silly comments. However, classifying all people who have a religious faith as "swivel-eyed fundamentalist religious lunatics " does not advance the anti-religious cause.

[birdie1971]

^^^ Amazing! The delusion of the faithful is almost admirable.

[birdie1971]

Mike. My comment was aimed at Canary42.

[ELVIS68]

Didn`t he used to present Fifteen to One on C4?

[birdie1971]

Mike:

Please re-read my original comment.

I did not say that everyone who has a religious belief is a swivel-eyed lunatic. I said that religious people who claimed that the recent natural disaster in Japan was as a result of a punishment from God are swivel-eyed religious lunatics.

William G. Stewart? Is it all his fault? The bas**rd!

[tiggerblue10]

So the Roman Empire would still be in existance were it not for "those gays"...........!!!

Delusional?

[Longsight]

Tiggerblue does it say Gays responsible for the fall of the roman empire or the Roman Empire would still be in existance were it not for "those gays".

[Sqad]

This guy certainly has form for sensationalism, but if the majority of Romans were gay then of course the Romans would have disappeared..............!!

The heterosexuals would be hard pushed ( no pun intended) to main the Romans in the environment of war and disease of their offspring.

[jomifl]

I thought that the fall of the Roman empire was because they had a big balance of trade deficit and they depended on foreign workers to do the skilled jobs because the native Romans were too idle to get trained up.

[Longsight]

You are never going to get a large group of gays believing in the works of Salviano di Marsiglia.

[Bobbisox]

bloody religious bigotry ...again!
