          At Least The UK’s Gone Mad

A friend in the USA sent me this link to a Daily mail article. His email was titled “Say it ain’t So”.

Sharia Law Legally Binding In The UK

Sadly it is completely true. However the perpetrators of this gross inequality say it is only entered into on a voluntary basis by consenting Muslims who agree that the decision of the unelected, unqualified, half assed stone age cleric will be legally binding.

Sounds harmless, and they point out that a similar arrangement already exists for orthodox Jews.

I think this is the thin end of the wedge, what happens in 2 or 3 generations when due to their rising birth rate and the falling birth rate of the rest of the UK population they are the majority?

I don’t see why:
1) Any religion is given any weight in law. It is all crap invented for people of simple minds.
2) Why we jealously guard the “rights” of people who want to live by a code of conduct that would have been considered barbaric in the middle ages.

If ever I am in power, I will rescind the legal and charitable status of all religious groups (including the bloody Christians). I will do it gradually so that they don’t rise up on one of their silly bloody jihads or crusades.

I would also make it illegal for schools to teach any religious faith whatsoever and replace the lesson slot with the subject of “personal moral responsibility”. Instead of teaching them that “Thou shalt not kill” because God commands you not to, I would teach them why it is wrong to kill and what the implications are for the survival of the species if we all start killing each other.

I would make sure that no religious group has any relevance in law nor any influence on government.

I would ban any advertising and self promotion by religious groups. God TV etc would be gone. Let them try and increase their membership by word of mouth. Their congregations would dwindle in weeks.

I would impose a tax on places of worship which would be introduced as a variant of the business rates and would increase by small amounts every year. I would call this the “Idiots Tax”.

It would be illegal to give anyone the right to teach creationism or the ludicrously labelled “Intelligent Design” in schools. Let them preach the crap in their churches to their dwindling band of oddball supporters, don’t indoctrinate our children with this risible nonsense. I heard a BBC radio program recently where some redneck, God-Bothering students were saying that because they believe this they have the right to be taught it! What a ridiculous argument, if I believe that the moon is made of green cheese and Elvis lives there with Adolf Hilter and Marylin Munroe do I also have that right?

Getting back to the original point, it is a difficult situation because the silent majority who are appalled at this dare not make any public objections for fear of being called a racist and attacked by the “right-on” politically correct brigade. These people preach “multiculturalism” by which they mean that we, the indigineous population must go out of our way to immerse ourselves in the so called “culture” of these primitive people. If like me you are happy to let anyone live in this country so long as they contribute to society but you don’t particularly want to get to know them, their way of life or their beliefs you are considered to be a trouble maker and a potential racist.

I’ve just read through this; it could be the start of a new political movement. My dad always said I would be Prime Minister one day, perhaps it’s not too late.

Vote Donkey! You know it makes sense.

Sharia law comes in the back door

“The most senior judge in England yesterday gave his blessing to the use of sharia law to resolve disputes among Muslims.”

More Info Here

If Deputy Dawg lookalike Lord Chief Justice Lord Phillips is the top judge in the country we are well and truly up shit creek without a paddle.

What a load of bollocks the man spouts, we can’t have separate laws for minority groups and any law that is based on religious belief should never get on the statute books.

In this country the laws are made by Parliament not some half-assed idiot cleric who has a belief system that is about a thousand years out of date.

It is quite simple if you live in this country you have to comply with our laws. Your religion or lack of it is not even a consideration. If two Muslims want to settle a dispute according to their sharia law that’s fine as long as it is a personal agreement between them - it can have no legal validity.

If this sort of mealy mouthed support for this particular minority group is enshrined in our legal system where will it end? Can I make up my own set of laws and demand to be taken seriously? After all that is what the Muslims did.

I’m really fed up with hearing rubbish like this from people who should know better. Why do they seem to be bending over backwards to please these demented enthusiasts for a primitive religion that tries to drag us all back to the middle ages? Could it be that they are all good Christians trying to bend over and turn the other cheek? That is part of the problem; the Christians don’t want to exclude the Muslims so we end up with people who believe in absolute rubbish trying to promulgate the “rights” of another group of people who believe in a slightly different load of old rubbish.

When will the world wake up and shed this need to invent religions and gods to make them feel safe and cosy? Anyone with half a brain can see it is all delusion.

How out of touch can a scruffy archbish be?

Unlike the hysterical masses calling for archbishop beardy’s resignation I take a more charitable view, I think we should deal with him under Sharia law in the same way as the extreme Muslims solve their homosexuality problem - Defenestration.

Stoning seems a bit too horrific and personal while amputation is a very crude deterrent if indeed it works as a deterrent at all. I mean if according to the religious nutters the thought of doing evil is as bad as actually doing it, then you can’t tell me that those poor buggers with their hands cut off don’t think of flicking a “V” sign or giving the finger to the rest of us. It is only human nature.

Perhaps we should amputate his beard - that would be a great improvement; he is after all the scruffiest archbishop we have ever had in this country, and the scruffiest public figure (if you ignore Mr Geldof) since poor old Michael Foot shambled about the House of Commons in his Donkey jacket. The man looks like he could do with a good wash! I bet that beard is shampooed less than once week it looks like it’s dirty and I expect it feels itchy all the time. I should imagine it smells of old communion wine and stale aftershave.

On a serious note any man who thinks that there should be different laws applied to people who believe different fantasies than the rest of us is one bollock short of a full sac! It is a reprehensible selfishness and naivety which fosters extreme behaviour. These people think they are above the law as they are answering to a “Higher authority”, doing God’s will as interpreted by them. So it OK to abuse women and treat them like property, stone adulterers to death and murder people who have different sexual preferences, oh and by the way amputation is the only real deterrent to the curse of shoplifting. All these things are OK because God said so - you and I never heard him say this but what the hell that’s all right because we should have faith in the rantings of these priests shouldn’t we?

Talking of amputees I am sad to hear that my good friend Abu Hansa (it is always a pleasure to shake his hook but the bear hugs can be a problem) is likely to be moved into less salubrious surroundings in the American Rockies. How brutal that he will only have a small black and white TV pumping out US propaganda all day instead of the wide-screen luxury that he currently enjoys (he is great fan of the X factor). I wonder what poor unfortunate will take over the job of wiping the buggers shitty ass every day (you couldn’t pay me enough to do that job) I expect the redneck miltary will employ a minimum wage black man for that job. Quite a contrast - the prospect of a black man in the white house and another one in the shite house!

Defenestration:Throwing out of a high window, a method of execution specialised in by the Czechoslovakian Secret service during the cold war period.

So long and thanks for all the fish and chips …

If like me you use the Mayan calendar you may have noticed that it finishes on December the 21st 2012. That’s it! It’s over. The end!  The end of the world; you see the Mayans believed that humanity lived in cycles of approx 5,000 years at the end of which some cataclysmic event came along and scoured the earth clean of this infection that is humanity so that the whole sorry mess can start all over again.

You probably think - what a load of old cobblers, and who were the Mayans anyway just some half-arsed jungle dwellers that got their ass kicked by the Spanish a few years ago. Well… you may have sort of a point but they were a fairly advanced civilisation in many ways, their pyramids were very precise cosmic clocks and calculators. The downside was their absurd religious beliefs and their bloodthirsty nature, but you can’t have everything.

I digressed. The point I was getting to is that there is correlating evidence that this is not just some old mumbo jumbo, the New Scientist predicts that in the year 2012 there will be unusually intense solar activity. So that’s it then turn up the sun for a few days sterilise everything then chuck in some more of the human fruit flies and see what sort of a fist they make of it this time. Makes you sick doesn’t it, my ripe old age cruelly taken from me.

That’s what I call global bloody warming, so you can stuff your windmills and your solar panels where the sun don’t (often) shine.

It’s not all bad news though at least we’ll see the 2012 Olympics in London, and even better we won’t have to pay for it. My advice is cash in your pension and any savings you might have now, change to an interest only mortgage and start defaulting about 2010, it’ll take a few years to evict you and by then you’ll be a small quantity of vapour heading out past Jupiter. Those letters you keep getting from the banks, insurance companies and the AA, don’t bin them take the loans, max out all your cards and spend the money on enjoying the few years you have left; wine, women and song etc. (I’m not sure how enjoyable the song is especially if it’s country and western). Then when the end comes you will have the unmitigated pleasure of knowing that you were a winner in the end.

Do you believe strongly in things that cannot be proven?

Well do you?

I mean in a religious sense. Do you believe in the words of the Bible, the Koran or whatever? Even though you know it was all written years after the events and then translated through several languages and then updated to the current authorised version.

Why?

Are you stupid?

You must be if you accept anything like this as “the truth” without a shred of real evidence. (By real evidence I mean evidence that will stand independent scrutiny you can’t for instance cite on part of the Bible as “evidence” that another part is correct)

My views on religion are best left for another more detailed discussion at a later date, suffice it to say that the one single thing that Karl Marx ever got right in his life was to describe it as “the opiate of the masses”. In my opinion he should have stayed with the rest of the Marx brothers.

In this post I am asking why some people think faith is a good thing. It is plainly not. It is an irrational belief in the veracity of a statement purporting to be true but which cannot be proved to be true. Now who in their right mind would have “faith” in something that cannot be proven and such strong faith that they will alter their behaviour and wear strange clothing because of their faith? Some of these zombies will even stone people to death because of their faith.

Yet faith in this context is generally seen to be a good thing. A “man of faith” is usually a good man, an example to us all. I contend he is an example of plain stupidity. People talk about having their faith to fall back on, well that may comfort them but it’s just a placebo effect.

Stop Press
Some publicity hungry 3rd rate film maker just told the world that he has found the tomb of Jesus Christ, a few friends, his wife and half his family that we never knew existed. If you are a Christian does that reinforce your faith or is there a slight doubt creeping in? There should be; there is absolutely no convincing evidence that JC ever actually existed, but let’s pretend he did for a minute… I thought he was supposed to have ascended to heaven? So how come his bones have suddenly turned up?

Faith or “Blind Faith” as it should be called should be discouraged and the rest of us should ridicule those who claim to have “Faith”. It is a sign of weakness, and is an illogical remnant from less sophisticated times.If I stood up at Hyde Park corner and announced that I was the mortal incarnation of God come to walk amongst men, I would be laughed at. People would say “OK prove it, perform a few miracles.” No one would have faith in me. Why not, it is more logical to believe in someone who is physically there than something that might have happened a couple of thousand years ago. So faith as a concept is flawed and unreliable, people who profess to have faith choose to believe in a version of events that they would like to be true. This cosy version of the events is then enshrined in their memory and seen as “the truth” and anyone who has a slightly different version inside his or her head is wrong. In some cases this can lead to violence and war.So let’s give faith the big thumbs down and only accept as true those things that are capable of being proven. If some smug self satisfied believer from Islam, Christianity, Judaism or any other of these silly fantasy religions tells you that you must have faith tell them “No, you must not”.
