goldfinger - 09 Jun 2005 12:25

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.

I came across this comment on religion made by Paul Dirac, Nobel Prize winner He predicted the existence of anti matter and was the first to describe quantum mechanics in 1926.

I cannot understand why we idle discussing religion. If we are honest—and scientists have to be—we must admit that religion is a jumble of false assertions, with no basis in reality. The very idea of God is a product of the human imagination. It is quite understandable why primitive people, who were so much more exposed to the overpowering forces of nature than we are today, should have personified these forces in fear and trembling. But nowadays, when we understand so many natural processes, we have no need for such solutions. I can't for the life of me see how the postulate of an Almighty God helps us in any way. What I do see is that this assumption leads to such unproductive questions as why God allows so much misery and injustice, the exploitation of the poor by the rich and all the other horrors He might have prevented.

If religion is still being taught, it is by no means because its ideas still convince us, but simply because some of us want to keep the lower classes quiet. Quiet people are much easier to govern than clamorous and dissatisfied ones. They are also much easier to exploit. Religion is a kind of opium that allows a nation to lull itself into wishful dreams and so forget the injustices that are being perpetrated against the people. Hence the close alliance between those two great political forces, the State and the Church. Both need the illusion that a kindly God rewards—in heaven if not on earth—all those who have not risen up against injustice, who have done their duty quietly and uncomplainingly. That is precisely why the honest assertion that God is a mere product of the human imagination is branded as the worst of all mortal sins.

Boris Johnson says he would campaign to pull Britain out of the EU in referendum



Remarks show on this issue London's Mayor is closer to the Tory right, who are determined to get out of the EU, than David Cameron




Andy Mcsmith

Sunday 12 October 2014


Boris Johnson has declared that he would campaign to pull Britain out of the EU in a referendum if David Cameron's attempts to negotiate a new deal for Britain in Europe failed.

There would be no point in negotiating for a change of rules in the EU unless the government was serious about being prepared to pull out "and I would be willing to say that," he argued.

His remarks show that on this issue London's Mayor is closer to the Tory right, who are determined to get out of the EU, than David Cameron, who warned earlier in this year against the "pessimists" who refuse to believe that the EU can reform.

The Mayor also expressed bemusement at the rise of UKIP, which he described as the Conservative Party’s 'doppelganger' because, he claimed, they shared identical beliefs. His remarks were very different from how David Cameron described UKIP members eight years ago - as "fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists."

Boris's sister once said that when he was a child he wanted to World King. Of course, as he was born in the US, he could be President of the USA.
