What next from these Idiots!!

warmhands.coldheart

It just ceases to amaze me how idiotic some of the politicians are. And yes BigAl it wouldn't surprise me in the least what they would do if they could get away with it. Complete a-holes. Who are they to tell me what I can or can't see. Dictatorship comes to mind.

Jake O'Kane, one of Northern Ireland's leading comedians called the councillors "zealots" who have no right to be "moral guardians".
"We elected them to empty our bins, make sure the leisure centres were open - that's the powers they have," the comedian said.
"We don't need a bunch of unionist councillors in Newtownabbey deciding what we can or cannot go to see."

Well there's a laugh for a start. He's a leading comedian and I've never heard of him.

Heard the one about the rate payers who foot the bill for being insulted?

No one said you can't see the play. Just not on municipal property.

As I say if you don't like the council showing respect for people's deeply held beliefs, get an Atheists' party going.

Come on, show some spirit, people.
How about "Atheists - you can believe in us" or "Atheists - give us your Cross".

Can't believe you never heard of him - you need to get out more!

Oh him. I have seen him. He'd a serious flaw for a comedian. He wasn't funny.

Atheism is neither a political stance nor a religion.

No reason why it can't be if you want it to.

New Zealand has proportional representation of a sort , too , and they've got a cannabis party and a beer drinkers' party. Don't mind if I do.

Pretty strange when your level of social advancement is gauged by your willingness to insult people.

Atheism is a belief in itself. Atheists believe there is no god.

No. Its not.

Belief implies an article of faith.

Atheism is a provisional conclusion, based on careful reasoning and on the best available evidence we have.

Atheism is not a political stance. Just because somebody has started a "beer" party, doesnt make "beer" a political stance.

Likewise Atheism is not a religion.
