The Virgin Mary

Jesus came from a proletarian background he was not one of those Kulak shepherds.

Self employed chippie, in a family business. More petite-bourgeois. Very likely only doing cash jobs. Probably accounts for all this flannel about fishy's

Jesus said to Peter, “Then the children of the king don’t have to pay taxes. 27 But we don’t want to upset these tax collectors. So go to the lake and fish. After you catch the first fish, open its mouth and you will find a coin. Take that coin and give it to the tax collectors for you and me.

This is a perfect example of why I despise organised religion. The sheer arrogance and bigotry involved.

Ah, yes, Bosnia Herzegovina.

I remember the Roman Catholic Pope telling the Muslim women who had been raped in the war there in the 1990s that they should not seek abortions.

What a piece of callous uncalled for “advice” that was. I understand that the man who made this monstrous statement is now a Saint.
