Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

The BNP are a joke...I suspect they don't even take themselves seriously.

Why not have special rules for people who believe in other silly thing apart from benevolent extra terrestrial beings like god. Why don't we put believers in fairies on the tills who could refuse to serve people who don't believe in fairies.

Muslims use alcohol every day.

Go to any hospital, hands, cuts, wounds are sanitised using alcohol.


It's not the application of alcohol, it's the drinking of it that is against their belief's.

Hays,

I wouldn't be surprised if you believed in fairies.

You believe the fairy tales from tory HQ and out of the mouths of Cameron and Osborne.

You just have a different level of gullibility.

Check out and examine your own beliefs, you may find some of them barmier than some of those which are accepted by those who believe in a god and the rules of "their chosen religion".

PS.

Not believing in a "god" or "religion" allows some to have a very flexible morality.

The flexibility often allowing benefit or reward to self and expense of others and often very flexible. (Psychopathic personalities comes to mind.)

fawlty - you would do well to read and learn from your own writings instead of preaching at everyone else

If this lady Muslim was an unprotected employee, I think she needs dismissing for........

Hmmm? Well, what....?

The point is, if she worked on the till in their food department, then she must have known this was going to happen some time other and that when it did, the customer was highly likely to dump ALL their shopping on the till conveyor and tell M&S to stick it (back on the shelves, obviously). And when this happened, said till lady was going to have a fair bit of explaining to do to her managers.

It all sounds a bit conspiratorial to me.

Think about it....

Manuel,

Pray, what am I preaching?

I didn't realise that observations were no longer permissible to your Lordship.

Besides, I thought you would be cooking your own goose for Xmas.

Shame to not to use your talent.

You say:

You might be interested to do a 'Google' for the 'Atheist Church', which apparently is coming on in leaps and bounds in terms of its popularity because it removes anything to do with God/Religion from the church's activities.

It doesn't add up to froth on Manuel's beer.

Some s.bs are trying to escalate a trivial act to the size of a catastrophe, which will the Raj down.

Dafter than plebgate.

"Atheist Church"

Haven't read the article, but it may remind me of conversations with a few "Church Elders" 60 years ago, who privately confessed they found the concept of a "god" difficult to swallow, but that they liked the "community", "ethos", "sense" of unity" and importantly the sense of continuity that the "Church" provided them.

I thought they were honest , but preferred to be an distant observer of their observances.

It is choice, I think.

The aethiest meetings in Islington on Sundays have comedians performing.

Having or not having belief in god does not imply anything about anyone's morality.

cynic . you clever man answer this question.

I am a blood donor given over 100 times
and eat pork my fav meat

when a muslim needs blood in hospital does he say he can not have that tainted blood of a none believer or is it ok to have the blood of an ENGLISHMAN TO SAVE IS LIFE .

John Mann MP ‏@JohnMannMP
2,700 bankers have an Osborne Xmas present: a £36,303 tax cut for the year. Most Tory MPs want this hand out to be doubled.

Hmmmm thats a very good point TANKER especially if the blood donor was out the previous evening having a pork dinner and getting sloshed on fine wine and others.

Dont agree with the ENGLISHMAN part though, it could be anyones blood bar a good muslim.

i truly do not know, but equally i would remind you that i raised similar questions in my original post (34476)

tony hancock was of course famous for specifying to whom his armful of blood might be given

And just what is an Englishman, Tanker, in your opinion?

Is he 100% Pict, 50% Scot, 3% Celt, 54%, Norse, 43% French, 28% Irish, 100% White, 82% Germanic, 10% Pakistani, 14% Indian, 6% Jamaican, 12% Chek, 8% Russian, etc, etc, etc..?

Even UK Royal Family are related to the Germans and the Russians.

Brilliantly good point about when Muslims need blood transfusions! I must ask the opinion of the next Muslim M&S check out lady on the till when my wife buys a frock there.

Hancock deals with all of this extremely well and in about the first 5 minutes....
