[8ball]

Don't hold yer breath

I’ll tick the cancellation insurance box when booking my hols anyway, it’s bound to be coming soon..

No, that's the rapture.

Apologises in advance to septic evangelists.

Wow, that was a weird few pages!

Orang Utan made a joke about the church, not the people that follow it, I found it funny. Aladdin came back with a reasonable response as why they felt it was attack on them, sadly OU doubled down at first, but has since apologised for any offence, which is also reasonable.

So, perhaps we could all bring the thread back on topic, as in discussing what a cunt Brand is, and call an end to to this massive derail?

* yeah, I know that suggestion is probably a waste of time, this being urban.

I think "neighbour" as used in the Bible means anyone in the local community. So no, sorry. But if she lives in Helsinki you've found a loophole.

Cool, so as long as she's in Newport, or Bridgend or up the valleys, God's down with doing the dirty

Heretic!

What the fuck is going on with this place lately?

When exactly did it become frowned upon to lampoon the Catholic church for its it's history of protecting abusers?

The poster defending Brand gets and easier ride than someone ripping the piss out of Brand and and organisation that has a history of protecting perpetrators of sexual abuse.

Seriously what the actual fuck?

Some posters need to have a long hard look at themselves.

Dunno. If you're in Cape Town, yes. But I think if you're in Pontypool or somewhere God would just say he can't help it if Newport feels a long way to you, and he'll wither your genitals anyway. I think you need quite a big distance to be totally free of sin.

Enough theology,, though.

Dunno really because, as far as I can tell, not one single person has done that.

Looks like it to me. But sod it I'm pretty much done with this place apart from the bandwidth thread.

Erm…

Yes, ernestolynch is just who we need to get things back on track.

Bandwidth thread has gone off the cliff too tho,..

Orang Utan , got anything to say about Daoism?

Do you know, that'd be a cracking post if only you'd made it five hours ago

Which page? I’m a bit behind, but up to 7927 seems to be going pretty well.

True, it's not what it used to be.

 

[Ax^]

bandwidthz has been off for an while mind.. post pictures of cats and a fight every other page not what it used to be :/

He can be so petty sometimes

I don't think anyone has accused you having a go at an individual.

Nope just a made up institution.

 

[Ax^]

aren't all institutions made up

 

[Clair De Lune]

It's mad really how much and often humans argue about religion. God, if there is one, must be pissing himself/her/themselves.
Or crying.
Either or.

 

[xenon]

The target of the joke was clearly the Catholic church and those who are part of it as well as Brand.

There is still no evidence that Brand has joined the Catholic church, so your sneering comment just comes across as standard anti-Catholic bigotry

It's ironic that you refer to having to explain to a grown up; once again you demonstrate zero self awareness.

Illiteracy. He clearly was not having a pop at those who believe in Christianity let alone members of the Catholic Church. Fuck sake.

Feels like he's done a Jonathan Aikten. Giving his reputation a relaunch by finding God. Brand was good when he was doing housing activism. That was Hackney. Wouldn't vouch for him otherwise though!

It's mind boggling when you think about it.

The very concept of beings in the clouds who we must worship and endure... where is the class war against these privileged sky toffs?
