Can't argue without referring to your book of fairy tales, can you? The bible is not a reference book or indeed a worthy tome of philosophy; it would be like me quoting from "The Wind in the Willows" Poop Poop!

Well done Mr Crumb, I've long admired his work; Fritz the Cat is an excellent piece of work and this latest cartoon: inspired. It certainly has offended the xtians - but it doesn't take much it seems. What Mr Crumb has done here is to illustrate a section of a work of fiction [the bible] as he see it. Don't forget Mr Estes and Xnilo, many others have been inspired by the bible: Myra Hindley, David Koresh, Adolf Hitler, to name a few; Mr Crumb draws an amusing cartoon but this lot killed people. The bible is probably the most disgusting and violent book around - no wait, it is in second place to the koran.

Well there are a disproportionate number of child abusers in religious organisations; and let us not forget these priests are in position of trust. Maybe the Cof E is not as bad as the catholics when it comes to kiddie fiddling, but they are up there with the rest when it comes to mental abuse - burn in hell if you don't worship our sky fairy etc. Sun, 18 Oct 2009 20:42:48 +0000 http://freethinker.co.uk/2009/10/18/church-of-england-vicar-jailed-for-sex-offences-against-boys-in-leeds/#IDComment39234507 http://freethinker.co.uk/2009/10/16/godless-is-good/#IDComment39067685 Reading this has brightened my day. I bet the xtians et al will be busing in their troops to evangelise. If only every town and city was godless!

Muslims are colonising Europe at a frightening rate - just look at their birth rate - so what Choudary is saying is not so fanciful after all. The BNP and EDL are gaining momentum because our muslim appeasers in Government have failed to remove the likes of Choudary from the UK. I fear very much our future.

There is a saying: "The third World travels with them" quite appropriate when it comes to muzzies and education. But, what a dimwit Ah-mad [good name] is and I wonder how much of tax-payers' money he is getting in benefits.

As I have posted elsewhere, the muslim extremists will now be rallying their rent-mob-chums ready to burn flags and riot upon Wilders arrival.

Just another thought: I don't suppose these bigoted muzzies would mind playing a team of lesbians.

He should find himself a partner then perhaps he won't be so self loathing. I love the bit about atheists controlling schools, what tosh! The corrupting tentacles of religion are all over most schools here in the UK.

I'm looking forward to the religious tearing each other apart over these findings from one of their own.

I feel sorry for the remaining three Neumann children who may yet suffer the same fate as their youngest sibling; and where are the child protection social services?

Nice little earner. All those gullible people to paraphrase Peter Gabriel - "invest in the church for their heaven" At least this charlatan won't be getting his hands on much British cash.

The multiple information sources used by me suggested the linen was older than 14th century. And yes, the "shroud" is not what the credulous believe it to be.

I should have said the linen cloth itself is older than 14th century. Forgers of paintings are known to use old material in an attempt to hide the real age of their work. I have not read McCrones work - thank you for the tip. Tue, 6 Oct 2009 22:24:31 +0000 http://freethinker.co.uk/2009/10/06/how-to-make-your-very-own-shroud-of-turin/#IDComment37539352
