Deep theological questions

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

Jesus and Mo’s favourite barmaid interviewed by freethinker.co.uk:

FT: Does God hate women?
OB: The God of most of the people who think there is a God certainly hates women. The God of some of them hates women with a weirdly obsessive neurotic hostility - so weird and petty and obsessive that one wonders what this god would make women for if it hates them so much. If it wants them covered up all the time, why didn’t it make them out of a bale of cloth? If it doesn’t want men looking at them, why didn’t it make men without any eyes? These are deep theological questions.

Coffee, meet sinuses. Which side of the Enlightenment are we on again? Let me just get this straight, belief in omnipotent sky pixie = acceptable, non-belief in omnipotent sky pixie = not acceptable?? On which planet…? How ridiculous…! Surely this can’t be…..? [sound of head exploding].

Council ban on atheist websites

EDIT: This intolerable nonsense has finally persuaded me to join the National Secular Society. I submitted the membership form this evening.
