Everybody loves a self-starter. How often do self-start, Douglas?
Night song from Khandro;

Bagpipe music (1938)
Louis MacNeice

It’s no go the merrygoround, it’s no go the rickshaw,
All we want is a limousine and a ticket for the peepshow.
Their knickers are made of crêpe-de-chine, their shoes are made of python,
Their halls are lined with tiger rugs and their walls with heads of bison.

John MacDonald found a corpse, put it under the sofa,
Waited till it came to life and hit it with a poker,
Sold its eyes for souvenirs, sold its blood for whisky,
Kept its bones for dumb-bells to use when he was fifty.

It’s no go the Yogi-Man, it’s no go Blavatsky,
All we want is a bank balance and a bit of skirt in a taxi.

Annie MacDougall went to milk, caught her foot in the heather,
Woke to hear a dance record playing of Old Vienna.
It’s no go your maidenheads, it’s no go your culture,
All we want is a Dunlop tyre and the devil mend the puncture.

The Laird o’Phelps spent Hogmanay declaring he was sober,
Counted his feet to prove the fact and found he had one foot over.
Mrs Carmichael had her fifth, looked at the job with repulsion,
Said to the midwife ‘Take it away; I’m through with
over-production’.

It’s no go the gossip column, it’s no go the Ceilidh,
All we want is a mother’s help and a sugar-stick for the baby.

Willie Murray cut his thumb, couldn’t count the damage,
Took the hide of an Ayrshire cow and used it for a bandage.
His brother caught three hundred cran when the seas were lavish,
Threw the bleeders back in the sea and went upon the parish.

It’s no go the Herring Board, it’s no go the Bible,
All we want is a packet of fags when our hands are idle.

It’s no go the picture palace, it’s no go the stadium,
It’s no go the country cot with a pot of pink geraniums,
It’s no go the Government grants, it’s no go the elections,
Sit on your *** for fifty years and hang your hat on a pension.

It’s no go my honey love, it’s no go my poppet;
Work your hands from day to day, the winds will blow the profit.
The glass is falling hour by hour, the glass will fall forever,
But if you break the bloody glass you won’t hold up the weather.

What a load off old 'Cods' ^^^^

Well now the atheists have had their fun as usual.
Deja Vu.
Khandro, I remember a specific quote from the poem with amusement and affection:

"It’s no go the Yogi-Man, it’s no go Blavatsky,
All we want is a bank balance and a bit of skirt in a taxi."

I don't know who "Yogi-Man" is, but Madame Blavatsky founded/invented Theosophy.

Innit?

The atheists are limited to mockery.
Not one single atheist has ever even attempted an account of answering the big questions.
Naomi is limited to examining their bank balance.
Enlightening eh?
Not all atheists mock, Theland.

I'm an atheist and I don't know...

...about some things.
//The atheists are limited to mockery.//

The term 'atheist' is itself intentional mockery aimed at those who do not claim to be adherents and followers of their particular god based world view.
Jesus loves me this I know, for the bible tells me so...

Theland, //Not one single atheist has ever even attempted an account of answering the big questions. //

How many times must you be told we don’t know before it sinks in? What’s wrong with saying you don’t know when you don’t?

//Naomi is limited to examining their bank balance.//

What a spiteful, bitter, self-obsessed little man you are. Don’t be so damned rude. You know nothing about me.
Theland, when you start answering the questions put to you, when you start responding to statements made to you, you might find the "mockery" ceases. Perhaps you could start now, why do all these preachers have large bank balances when they are told, in your Bible, not to lay up treasures on earth? If, as you usually say, this is misinterpretation, than perhaps you could explain why we are so wrong to accept the Bible at face value. Why is there always an underlying message extrapolated by the chosen, or rather, self appointed, few?
And for your enlightenment I mentioned his bank balance so if you wish to make more snide remarks direct them at me.
Vulcan, thank you.
