Firstly I’d like to apologise for the lack of updates recently. Various situations in my family life have interfered with the time I usually give to my blog. The Guardian today reported that the Advertising Standards Authority recently saw a 10% rise in complaints. Near the top of their complaints list were the advertising campaigns [...]

Pope To Visit Bradford Council Estate? How Bloody Funny Would That Be!
Posted: April 28, 2010 in Catholicism, ReligionTags: Catholicism, Pope, Religion, State Visit
The storm brewing around the leaked government memo suggesting the Pope should bring out his own range of condoms and stay the night in a Bradford council flat has provided me with quite a deal of amusement. You can just imagine Pope condoms, I wonder if they’d be shaped like his little hat? Can you [...]
South Park Should Stand Up To Muslim Threats

This week I had the privilege of watching the 200th episode of South Park. I have to say it was one of the funniest I’ve seen in a long time. In terms of jokes it wasn’t as funny as some episodes but what it did wonderfully was highlight the absurdity of Islamic censorship. For those [...]
Why I’m Pretty Damned Sure God Does Not Exist – Part 4

Today’s post is part 4 of a series on the arguments for the existence of God. The First Cause I’ve often heard the religious bring up the subject of cause and effect. Everything that moves is moved by something, they say. Everything that happens is the effect of an earlier cause. In its simplest logical [...]

Over the past couple of days I have been sharing my opinion on the arguments for the existence of God and today I continue by looking at religious experiences. “I Experienced God So He Must Exist” This is perhaps one of the most convincing arguments for the existence of God. There are many people who [...]

Yesterday I began this article on why I believe there is no God. I looked at the argument from design and gave my opinion on why the Universe appears to be designed. Today I continue by looking at morality and whether it comes from God. Without God We Have No Morals Morality is concerned with [...]
Why I’m Pretty Damned Sure God Does Not Exist – Part 1

Either there is or there isn’t a God. It is a yes or no question. Something cannot half exist, it must exist or not. The answer to the question has huge ramifications on everything we know and it is a question humans have probably been asking since we learned to talk. Almost everyone I know [...]
The Problem With The Catholic Church Is Its Obsession With Forgiveness

The words ‘Catholic Church’ are now, to many, synonymous with ‘scandal’, ‘whitewash’, ‘cover up’ and ‘immoral’. This week’s letter from the Pope to the Irish church highlights his continued short sightedness. Catholics are among some of the most intolerant of all religious groups. Their stance on issues like homosexuality, abortion and contraception has always been [...]

The word terrorism brings to mind certain images. The Twin Towers, car bombs, Anthrax in the post etc. Right now the majority of the world’s terrorism has its roots in the Middle East and Islamic extremism. The East is a breeding ground for radicalised young Muslims hell bent on forcing the world to believe as [...]
