- feel free to come into the 21st century any time you like.

[TP - assume all the fossils in the ground show evolution happened over billions of years.

Go and visit a museum, learn something.

Just as I thought. No evidence of any kind. Just throwaway line to make you sound good as though you know something which you obviously don&#039;t.</description>

		<description>KEITH83 - Think of all the time and extra cuddles you are depriving your family of with all them wasted hours spent bashin&#039; a keyboard.

Spoken like a true homo who believes that everyone is like him and that life is only about what goes through their befuddled mind. 

Clearly you don&#039;t have sufficient intelligence to work out the very obvious fact that children go to school so I have plenty of time to do other things whilst they are there. But then I should not be surprised as you are one who knows nothing about the joys of marriage so you would not understand the dynamics of family life. Ad for JK saying your comment was spot on...don&#039;t make me laugh!!!</description>

RealityCheck.
If I had a &#039;loving wife, kids and adorabubble grandkids, I sure as hell wouldn&#039;t be on these pages commenting every fart&#039;s end like you do.
You are never OFF the ckuffing site...!
Think of all the time and extra cuddles you are depriving your family of with all them wasted hours spent bashin&#039; a keyboard. 
I don&#039;t know one end of a tennis court from another so I don&#039;t haunt the sports pages to see what the latest score is, like you do on here, seeing what we low-lifes are spewing up about now.

You remind me me of Victorian Britain where they used to visit the local Bedlam for entertainment on a Sunday ahhh&#039;ternoon...to take pity on the poor inmates.

Summat&#039;s duffin&#039; yer cuffs up, lad, and I know EXACTLY what it is.

I have seen too many over the decades NOT to know; prime ministers; popes; cardinals; bishes and archbishes; royalty...

I call it &quot;Spot Dot&#039;s&quot; ..as in Dorothy&#039;s mates.

It has given me acres of yield over the years and I am seldom wrong. 

And I&#039;d only need to clap eyes on thee once and I&#039;d have thi knowed.

		<description>JK - I agree just ignore RC and other religous crack pots who do not deserve the attention they crave and receive on this site.

Thanks for the laugh JK. I don’t crave anything as I get all the attention I need from my loving wife, children and grandchildren. Probably because I don’t suffer from rejection like you do which means that I don’t have to prove anything to anyone so I am able to give myself to others and get a lot of pleasure out of it. I love my five adorable grandchildren who bring me so much pleasure especially when they give me a big hug and tell me that they love me. It is easy for them to do that because I give them lots of hugs and I always have time to spend with them and make them feel loved.</description>

		<description>TP - since astronomers predicted the collision will take place in three to four billion years’ time.

In your last post it was like now!!! Had a bit too much to drink have you?

TP - Disprove the existence of leprechauns then. 

I don’t have to as I never raised the issue.

TP: You, Reality Check, are the one who claims to know everything: the origins of the cosmos, the origins of life, to know who was responsible, the claim to be on intimate terms with god, to know that the whole universe was made with you in mind, to also know the existence of demons and satans, and to know the tell tale signs of possession.

Annoying isn’t it when you discover your not the know all you thought you were. 

TP - And then stamp their feet like little children when they are ridiculed for their beliefs, saying &#039;everyone who disagrees with me is a nazi&#039;. 

Show me where I said this.

[TP - How blind of you to think homosexuality was natural, like every medical and sociological institution in the western world,
RC: Evidence please.]
-	feel free to come into the 21st century any time you like.

-	If that is evidence, I am so glad that I don’t indulge in it.

[TP - assume all the fossils in the ground show evolution happened over billions of years.
RC - Evidence please.]

Go and visit a museum, learn something.

I can just see it now in your classroom. “Mr. Paine, do you have any evidence for evolution?”
“Shut up boy, go visit a museum and learn something”
“But aren’t we supposed to learn something from you.”
“You have got to be joking.”</description>

		<description>#75.

Yessssssss.!!

WillScouserlad ..!

What a journey you have just taken me on!!

I have just YOUTUBED it and you are spot on; Sylvia Sims, yes.! yesss.!!

I remember the film; I remember wanting so much to go and see it but being absolutely terrified about being seen going into the cinema, the Princess it was, on the prom at home in Blackpool; well sort of on the prom; opposite Butlin&#039;s Metropole.

I walked up and down outside for about 2 hours trying to summon up the guts to go in, in case anybody saw me and put two and two together and shouted &#039;PANSY BOY&#039;...hahaha!
I can remember now, even at 70, the sick, sick feeling in my stummick; the panic; the fear! 
And so you are right to have pulled me up sharp about my flippancy in saying that it was better when it was illegal.

It most definitely was not.
(Maybe a bit spicier though..? Grant me that? Hahaha..!)

I had not long come out of the Catholic religious order with the injunction still ringing in my ears from the religious Father Superior to go and get electro-convulsive therapy.
I had just walked out on religion too, at about the same time, because I just could not go and get &#039;crisped&#039; and the panic and the overwhelming sense of loss at abandoning my faith was all so fresh in my mind and also there was a case about a certain John Vassal, a spy, and one or two others, whose names escape me for the minnit.
I used to rush downstairs and get the papers and read them as fast as I could before handing them to my dad in as pristine condition as poss. since I was forbidden to look at the Sundays, even as a young adult...Hahah.
I so wanted to learn about this strange thing, this HOMOSEXUALITY, this illness, this gateway to Hell, this anathema, this ...this....this.....grrrrrrrr..!
And there was nothing about it anywhere to be read; in Larndarn maybe but not up in poxy Blackpool, Bywater-on-Sea.

How times have changed.
I may have all me dates and chronologyologyology wrong but it is all in there somewhere like a gigantic minestrone.

Yes!
The panic!
I so remember the panickckckckck..!
Now it&#039;s balls to the lot of them and UP YOURS from Ratzinger to Reality Check and mates.
Anyway, no more!
We&#039;ll get done for ramblin&#039; on and onnnnn; well I will, Will.!
Hahaha.
Ckuff em all, the twots..!
I don&#039;t panic now.
I am as mouthy as ckuff.
I wish I had known all those years ago what I know now.
I am now the teenage rebel I should have been, hahaha
If I had hair, I&#039;d be a punk, by jaypers would I...!
When I should have been a rebel, I was on me knees, in a frock, praying to virgins, in Latin!
How off the wall is that!
I look at today&#039;s youngsters wirth nothing but admiration and not a little envy.
We were so buttoned up.
Today&#039;s kids say &#039;UP YOURS, YER TOSSERS.!!&#039; and quite right too.


And, lastly, isn&#039;t it funny; most of those male actors in that film were themselves Dot&#039;s mates.

Could go on and on about how excited your trip has made me, down Memory Lane.
But I won&#039;t.
I&#039;ll get chased...

<p>Yessssssss.!!</p>
<p>WillScouserlad ..!</p>
<p>What a journey you have just taken me on!!</p>
<p>I have just YOUTUBED it and you are spot on; Sylvia Sims, yes.! yesss.!!</p>
<p>I remember the film; I remember wanting so much to go and see it but being absolutely terrified about being seen going into the cinema, the Princess it was, on the prom at home in Blackpool; well sort of on the prom; opposite Butlin's Metropole.</p>
<p>I walked up and down outside for about 2 hours trying to summon up the guts to go in, in case anybody saw me and put two and two together and shouted 'PANSY BOY'&#8230;hahaha!<br />
I can remember now, even at 70, the sick, sick feeling in my stummick; the panic; the fear!<br />
And so you are right to have pulled me up sharp about my flippancy in saying that it was better when it was illegal.</p>
<p>It most definitely was not.<br />
(Maybe a bit spicier though..? Grant me that? Hahaha..!)</p>
<p>I had not long come out of the Catholic religious order with the injunction still ringing in my ears from the religious Father Superior to go and get electro-convulsive therapy.<br />
I had just walked out on religion too, at about the same time, because I just could not go and get 'crisped' and the panic and the overwhelming sense of loss at abandoning my faith was all so fresh in my mind and also there was a case about a certain John Vassal, a spy, and one or two others, whose names escape me for the minnit.<br />
I used to rush downstairs and get the papers and read them as fast as I could before handing them to my dad in as pristine condition as poss. since I was forbidden to look at the Sundays, even as a young adult&#8230;Hahah.<br />
I so wanted to learn about this strange thing, this HOMOSEXUALITY, this illness, this gateway to Hell, this anathema, this &#8230;this&#8230;.this&#8230;..grrrrrrrr..!<br />
And there was nothing about it anywhere to be read; in Larndarn maybe but not up in poxy Blackpool, Bywater-on-Sea.</p>
<p>How times have changed.<br />
I may have all me dates and chronologyologyology wrong but it is all in there somewhere like a gigantic minestrone.</p>
<p>Yes!<br />
The panic!<br />
I so remember the panickckckckck..!<br />
Now it's balls to the lot of them and UP YOURS from Ratzinger to Reality Check and mates.<br />
Anyway, no more!<br />
We'll get done for ramblin' on and onnnnn; well I will, Will.!<br />
Hahaha.<br />
Ckuff em all, the twots..!<br />
I don't panic now.<br />
I am as mouthy as ckuff.<br />
I wish I had known all those years ago what I know now.<br />
I am now the teenage rebel I should have been, hahaha<br />
If I had hair, I'd be a punk, by jaypers would I&#8230;!<br />
When I should have been a rebel, I was on me knees, in a frock, praying to virgins, in Latin!<br />
How off the wall is that!<br />
I look at today's youngsters wirth nothing but admiration and not a little envy.<br />
We were so buttoned up.<br />

		<description>#73.
Was that with Dirk Bogarde and Anne Bancroft (?) or am I thinking &#039;Suddenly last Summer..&#039;..?
Anyway, you are probably not an old fart like me.
I look back on those days rather like the folks from the war years do (or did now rather) with the Ack-Ack shelters.
Fond, as a memory, the togetherness and all that but grim, in reality.
It is the looks on the baby faces of those poor young entrapment officers when they realised that they were actually enjoying what they were doing; not the job; not the entrapment; but el nitio gritio.

Hahaha.

I actually asked one...&quot;Don&#039;t tell me you&#039;re not gerrin&#039; just as much of a buzz out of this as me..!&quot;

His face lit up as red as Ratzinger&#039;s Pradas.

		<description>Dear, sweet RealityCheck...!

Me? Moi? 
Repressed anger to&#039;ards the RCC?
Well, you got that right, I&#039;ll give you that!
Tha&#039;s a clever lad...!
But it&#039;s not that repressed...I bokkle nowt up now.
I let it all hang out; mostly on here.
I used to bokkle.
I don&#039;t any more.
I used to sit and cry about the loss of my &#039;Holy Mother&#039;  -the RCC.
Cried for years.
I don&#039;t any longer; I have realised she is a conniving-scheming, hypocritical-thieving, murderous-old BAG..!

Anyway 10 out of 10.
I have been reading your reposts to TP.
ReaChe! Luvvie! 
A bit P.M.Q.&#039;s in their petulance, a tad, no?
A bit yaboo-sux, no?
A bit ping-pong, no?
I hit the ball to you, you slam it back to moi, I hit the ball to you, you sla...zzzzz
Anyway, each to his own. I never could get interested in any games involvin&#039; a ball of any sort.
(Ahem!!)

YOU SAY THAT &quot;..one example does not consitute a body of research&quot;
Spot on correct, again, presh.
I am not interested in research.
I do not want to know the opinions of others about why I am the way I am.
It&#039;s not the &#039;flu.
I GLAXO-KLINE-SMITH-WELLCOME the research they do about the &#039;flu; the &#039;flu is a disease; transient; curable, if recurrent. 

But homosexuality?
I have done all the research about ME.
Looked deep into ME and have a Ph.D. -&#039;summa cum laude&#039; -about ME.
I know how I tick.
The other ME&#039;s out there will no doubt have to follow the same path.
Along that path, some of us will converge, chat a while and move on, all &#039;Children of the Pink&#039; as Brian Burton calls us.
Some will be &#039;for&#039; gay marriage, some not; as in another article here on Pink News, currently; some for this, some for that.
One long Canterbury Tale.
I cannot understand, nor do I want to, how Johnny ticks or Freddy; I have my hands full learning about ME.
And following on from that, YOU SAY THAT  the gaystapo are emphasizing homosexuality in the schools.

I do not know what they are doing, or even if there is a &#039;gaystapo&#039;
I haven&#039;t followed it and care even less.

I dumped teaching 40 years ago after I hit a boy for fooling around, disruptificating the others in my &#039;A&#039; level Spanish class, days before the exam.

Better to have today&#039;s gaystapo pressing for the wide understanding of the hugely complex subject of human sexuality than the 9th century crap that I was taught by silly old bags in ridiculous costumes, standing up, on the hour, every hour, to recite a prayer to a Virgin, without the slightest i-cuffing-dea what a Virgin is, was, or could be.
Nor did the daft Tom Hunts (it rhymes with Hunts....I am loath to exhibit my nollidge of Anglo-Saxa salt)..er..nor did they teach us one iota about sex.
Indeed I went into the religious life, i.e. into a R. Catholic religious order, and took a vow of celibacy while still thinking it was for pee-ing through.
And that was at, what, 15? 17?
Junior school kids know more about &#039;it&#039; today than ever sheltered, altar-server me did, until I was almost 40; that&#039;s when I lost MY cherry, thirty bleedin&#039; nine.!!
So don&#039;t talk to me about gaystapo or even Gestapo.
If the gaystapo of the 21st century are about educating in the schools wholly, roundly, effectively, compassionately and scientifically and about imparting sound knowledge instead of whispers, in-your-endo, tikkle-takkle, smirks and all &#039;sex-education-by-total-silence-ignore-it-and-it-will-hopefully-go-away&#039; as was the case of the education I received from the GESTAPO nuns and brothers of the RCC who ruled by threat and the tawse, then gimme the gaystapo any day of the week.
I do not believe that the gaystapo are &#039;promoting&#039; homosexuality.
You cannot &#039;promote&#039; any sexuality.
You is.
Or you ain&#039;t.
What you can do is educate fully about sexuality.
You cannot advocate being homosexual just as you cannot be shocked with wires out of it.
If the gaystapo are encouraging/advocating kids to be such, then they will fail dismally; it cannot be done.
But as I say, I have not read any of it because I am not interested; I am too busy learning about ME; too busy doing what the nuns and brothers should have been doing for me, when I was a kid instead of breathing hellfire and damnation and ruling by threat and the strap; traipsing us back and forth, back and forth to church to pray to virgins...
24 lashes I got in the course of one cold February day, thanks, Brothers.!
YOU, ReaChe, have done the research, been following it all up, so until I do it for myself, could I but summon up the interest, I bow to your superior knowledge.

Goodbye and good riddance century number 9..!
Welcome! Come in, century 21..!     

YOU SAY THAT.. &quot;...all my homo-nazi friends say that (God) doesn&#039;t exist...!
The word &#039;all&#039; is an absolute, a superlative as you know, having taught in High School, you said..?
Pretty much inclusive of everybody.
Not &#039;some&#039;
Not &#039;most&#039;
Not &#039;mainly&#039;
Not &#039;more or less everybody&#039;
&#039;All&#039;.
I have no friends, homo-nazi or otherwise.
I keep myself totally to myself much more than any Trappist could ever hope to; I never had a partner; never wanted to; too selfish and know it, so I never inflicted myself on anybody, not man, not woman.
Several, on here&#039;s pages, would fall into the category you so pejoratively describe as &#039;homo-nazi&#039; but to me, many come across as believers, Brian Burton for one, who actually prayed for me not so long ago; I asked him to say a couple of dozen for me as he was off with his partner to church; French Canadian Jean-Paul for another and recently the gay minister Scott Rennie, although he did not contribute to the pages except in a passive sense.
&#039;All&#039; gay.
But &#039;all&#039; ...saying that He doesn&#039;t exist...?
I dont think so.
And being anti-God, anti-religious, irreligious, or even over-religious is not the prerogative of gay people.
There are as many of that ilk who have the requisite 2.4, the mortgage, the hatchback and do the school-run.
You don&#039;t have to be gay to be a church-hater.
I hate &#039;church&#039;, Reality, I hate the bureaucracy of it all, the operatic costumery.
I do not hate God.
I do not know what He is, nor what His name is, nor what His game is, nor do I think we CAN know.
To know Him, we would have to BE Him.
Only He can comprehend Him.
So religion is all through a glass darkly and man-made ultimately.. and thus dust.
So your use of &#039;all&#039; is inappropriate.

And finally, and aren&#039;t you all glad! 
(I know I am...!) 

YOU SAY THAT I am prepared to suffer Hell for all Eternity just for a few years of... pleasure.
Well, RealityCheck, do you know what?
I have dumped that idea as well.

I do not believe any longer in Hell.
I do not believe in sin either; in evil, yes; in sin, no. 
And those two losses of belief have come about only very recently.
I am no theologian; as I have said before; I wouldn&#039;t have the brain.
I have come to these conclusions all by myself with no help from anybody in the reclusivity of my O.A.P&#039;s flat.
I would have been a binman if it had not been for my lamwidges (nowt wrong wi&#039; bein&#039; a binny, lads...! No offence! Vital chaps..!)

Hell?

A concept for keeping the cash rolling in.
Create the reason for your (the RC Church&#039;s) existence, the forgiveness of sins, the confessional, and you have a cash crop; a milch cow.
And what led to that is my barmy, homespun bit of theology which anyone who cares to, can tell me where I am going wrong with....and yes, I HAVE thought of Free Will.

My own Diet of Worms.

If Christ, as God, died for us on Calvary then that sacrifice must have been &#039;all&#039;...it must have been sufficient for the remission of sins.
There is none higher than God and God died in expiation of Man&#039;s sin.
That must have been sufficient; had to have been.
If then, some still go to Hell despite the sacrifice of the Godhead, then that Godhead cannot have been sufficient; cannot ultimately be God.
Sin/evil therefore must be greater than the Godhead; God dying was not sufficient, since there has been less than total salvation for all if there is Hell/ the need for Hell.
Even Hitler, Stalin, Amin, Pol-Pot and Margaret Thatcher will one day be subsumed into the presence of God.
There can be no Hell.
To say that there is, is to say that there is a force equally as divine as God.
Now I am deffo no Thomas Aquinas; the Beano is more my style but another, more theologically savvy bod, on here could no doubt drive a bus thro&#039; the crud I have just writted.... or should that be wroted...?     
Certainly there is evil, and Hitler and Stary Dyada Jo should be burning now, but I know they are in the presence of God, now.
Man is not God and Man cannot know the mind of God.
And anthropomorphising Him is as pointless an exercise as putting bootees on a poodle.
Sin, as rammed down yer neck by the daft Catholic Church, is how many times you had a ham-shank ( it rhymes; think about it for a minnit)
They know full well that all likkle lads have to &#039;contend&#039; with themselves from an early, early age.
They make it a sin.
You have to go to church to report the &#039;sin&#039; and usually you drop a penny in t&#039; box on t&#039; way out; light a cangle or two cangles if you&#039;re feelin&#039; flush and sooo grateful for absolution.
And another couple o&#039; cangles on t&#039; way out tomorrer &#039;cos, as eggs is eggs, you&#039;ll play at bein&#039; a Midland banker again and ag.............
Brilliant marketing...so I am wrong; the &#039;daft&#039; Catholic church ain&#039;t so &#039;daft&#039; after all..

You&#039;ll then play ecclesiastical bingo by saying 3 of this and 9 of that on the 1st Friday of the month unless there&#039;s an &#039;R&#039; in that month or if it&#039;s more than 2 ham shanks you&#039;ve had and it&#039;s the same priest you confessed to, he will see that you&#039;re an inveterate little ham-shanker, Midland banker and make you do 5 decades or maybe even 15 and/or 14 Stations of the Cross.

For all this gunge, you&#039;ll get remission from &#039;time&#039; (..Time..? After you are dead?) spent in Purgatory, the heavenly equivalent of Strangeways.
90 days off your sentence and 45 days off and if the Pope blesses you in his &#039;Urbi et Orbi&#039;, you&#039;re out of nick right away.
Bureaucracy on a scale Communism could only have dreamt of.!

By all that&#039;s holy! What crap!
And people believe it, still.!!  

All too anthropomorphic; too human; God cannot possibly work like that, can He, really, come on; really!!?

Numbers, numbers, numbers! 
Ecclesiastical Bingo.!
And there is an angel recording all this?
And God can possibly be working like that?

It&#039;s 7 am now.
I&#039;ve been bleating for hours.
So as Harry Corbett used to say with such exasperation and his hand up SOOTY..

Bye bye everyone.!
Bye bye...!

Keith.
SLORDFAD.

A bit ping-pong, no?<br />
I hit the ball to you, you slam it back to moi, I hit the ball to you, you sla&#8230;zzzzz<br />
Anyway, each to his own. I never could get interested in any games involvin' a ball of any sort.<br />
(Ahem!!)</p>
<p>YOU SAY THAT "..one example does not consitute a body of research"<br />
Spot on correct, again, presh.<br />
I am not interested in research.<br />
I do not want to know the opinions of others about why I am the way I am.<br />
It's not the 'flu.<br />
I GLAXO-KLINE-SMITH-WELLCOME the research they do about the 'flu; the 'flu is a disease; transient; curable, if recurrent. </p>
<p>But homosexuality?<br />
I have done all the research about ME.<br />
Looked deep into ME and have a Ph.D. -'summa cum laude' -about ME.<br />
I know how I tick.<br />
The other ME's out there will no doubt have to follow the same path.<br />
Along that path, some of us will converge, chat a while and move on, all 'Children of the Pink' as Brian Burton calls us.<br />
Some will be 'for' gay marriage, some not; as in another article here on Pink News, currently; some for this, some for that.<br />
One long Canterbury Tale.<br />
I cannot understand, nor do I want to, how Johnny ticks or Freddy; I have my hands full learning about ME.<br />
And following on from that, YOU SAY THAT  the gaystapo are emphasizing homosexuality in the schools.</p>
<p>I do not know what they are doing, or even if there is a 'gaystapo'<br />
I haven't followed it and care even less.</p>
<p>I dumped teaching 40 years ago after I hit a boy for fooling around, disruptificating the others in my 'A' level Spanish class, days before the exam.</p>
<p>Better to have today's gaystapo pressing for the wide understanding of the hugely complex subject of human sexuality than the 9th century crap that I was taught by silly old bags in ridiculous costumes, standing up, on the hour, every hour, to recite a prayer to a Virgin, without the slightest i-cuffing-dea what a Virgin is, was, or could be.<br />
Nor did the daft Tom Hunts (it rhymes with Hunts&#8230;.I am loath to exhibit my nollidge of Anglo-Saxa salt)..er..nor did they teach us one iota about sex.<br />
Indeed I went into the religious life, i.e. into a R. Catholic religious order, and took a vow of celibacy while still thinking it was for pee-ing through.<br />
And that was at, what, 15? 17?<br />
Junior school kids know more about 'it' today than ever sheltered, altar-server me did, until I was almost 40; that's when I lost MY cherry, thirty bleedin' nine.!!<br />
So don't talk to me about gaystapo or even Gestapo.<br />
If the gaystapo of the 21st century are about educating in the schools wholly, roundly, effectively, compassionately and scientifically and about imparting sound knowledge instead of whispers, in-your-endo, tikkle-takkle, smirks and all 'sex-education-by-total-silence-ignore-it-and-it-will-hopefully-go-away' as was the case of the education I received from the GESTAPO nuns and brothers of the RCC who ruled by threat and the tawse, then gimme the gaystapo any day of the week.<br />
I do not believe that the gaystapo are 'promoting' homosexuality.<br />
You cannot 'promote' any sexuality.<br />
You is.<br />
Or you ain't.<br />
What you can do is educate fully about sexuality.<br />
You cannot advocate being homosexual just as you cannot be shocked with wires out of it.<br />
If the gaystapo are encouraging/advocating kids to be such, then they will fail dismally; it cannot be done.<br />
But as I say, I have not read any of it because I am not interested; I am too busy learning about ME; too busy doing what the nuns and brothers should have been doing for me, when I was a kid instead of breathing hellfire and damnation and ruling by threat and the strap; traipsing us back and forth, back and forth to church to pray to virgins&#8230;<br />
24 lashes I got in the course of one cold February day, thanks, Brothers.!<br />
YOU, ReaChe, have done the research, been following it all up, so until I do it for myself, could I but summon up the interest, I bow to your superior knowledge.</p>
<p>Goodbye and good riddance century number 9..!<br />
Welcome! Come in, century 21..!     </p>
<p>YOU SAY THAT.. "&#8230;all my homo-nazi friends say that (God) doesn't exist&#8230;!<br />
The word 'all' is an absolute, a superlative as you know, having taught in High School, you said..?<br />
Pretty much inclusive of everybody.<br />
Not 'some'<br />
Not 'most'<br />
Not 'mainly'<br />
Not 'more or less everybody'<br />
'All'.<br />
I have no friends, homo-nazi or otherwise.<br />
I keep myself totally to myself much more than any Trappist could ever hope to; I never had a partner; never wanted to; too selfish and know it, so I never inflicted myself on anybody, not man, not woman.<br />
Several, on here's pages, would fall into the category you so pejoratively describe as 'homo-nazi' but to me, many come across as believers, Brian Burton for one, who actually prayed for me not so long ago; I asked him to say a couple of dozen for me as he was off with his partner to church; French Canadian Jean-Paul for another and recently the gay minister Scott Rennie, although he did not contribute to the pages except in a passive sense.<br />
'All' gay.<br />
But 'all' &#8230;saying that He doesn't exist&#8230;?<br />
I dont think so.<br />
And being anti-God, anti-religious, irreligious, or even over-religious is not the prerogative of gay people.<br />
There are as many of that ilk who have the requisite 2.4, the mortgage, the hatchback and do the school-run.<br />
You don't have to be gay to be a church-hater.<br />
I hate 'church', Reality, I hate the bureaucracy of it all, the operatic costumery.<br />
I do not hate God.<br />
I do not know what He is, nor what His name is, nor what His game is, nor do I think we CAN know.<br />
To know Him, we would have to BE Him.<br />
Only He can comprehend Him.<br />
So religion is all through a glass darkly and man-made ultimately.. and thus dust.<br />
So your use of 'all' is inappropriate.</p>
<p>And finally, and aren't you all glad!<br />
(I know I am&#8230;!) </p>
<p>YOU SAY THAT I am prepared to suffer Hell for all Eternity just for a few years of&#8230; pleasure.<br />
Well, RealityCheck, do you know what?<br />
I have dumped that idea as well.</p>
<p>I do not believe any longer in Hell.<br />
I do not believe in sin either; in evil, yes; in sin, no.<br />
And those two losses of belief have come about only very recently.<br />
I am no theologian; as I have said before; I wouldn't have the brain.<br />
I have come to these conclusions all by myself with no help from anybody in the reclusivity of my O.A.P's flat.<br />
I would have been a binman if it had not been for my lamwidges (nowt wrong wi' bein' a binny, lads&#8230;! No offence! Vital chaps..!)</p>
<p>Hell?</p>
<p>A concept for keeping the cash rolling in.<br />
Create the reason for your (the RC Church's) existence, the forgiveness of sins, the confessional, and you have a cash crop; a milch cow.<br />
And what led to that is my barmy, homespun bit of theology which anyone who cares to, can tell me where I am going wrong with&#8230;.and yes, I HAVE thought of Free Will.</p>
<p>My own Diet of Worms.</p>
<p>If Christ, as God, died for us on Calvary then that sacrifice must have been 'all'&#8230;it must have been sufficient for the remission of sins.<br />
There is none higher than God and God died in expiation of Man's sin.<br />
That must have been sufficient; had to have been.<br />
If then, some still go to Hell despite the sacrifice of the Godhead, then that Godhead cannot have been sufficient; cannot ultimately be God.<br />
Sin/evil therefore must be greater than the Godhead; God dying was not sufficient, since there has been less than total salvation for all if there is Hell/ the need for Hell.<br />
Even Hitler, Stalin, Amin, Pol-Pot and Margaret Thatcher will one day be subsumed into the presence of God.<br />
There can be no Hell.<br />
To say that there is, is to say that there is a force equally as divine as God.<br />
Now I am deffo no Thomas Aquinas; the Beano is more my style but another, more theologically savvy bod, on here could no doubt drive a bus thro' the crud I have just writted&#8230;. or should that be wroted&#8230;?<br />
Certainly there is evil, and Hitler and Stary Dyada Jo should be burning now, but I know they are in the presence of God, now.<br />
Man is not God and Man cannot know the mind of God.<br />
And anthropomorphising Him is as pointless an exercise as putting bootees on a poodle.<br />
Sin, as rammed down yer neck by the daft Catholic Church, is how many times you had a ham-shank ( it rhymes; think about it for a minnit)<br />
They know full well that all likkle lads have to 'contend' with themselves from an early, early age.<br />
They make it a sin.<br />
You have to go to church to report the 'sin' and usually you drop a penny in t' box on t' way out; light a cangle or two cangles if you're feelin' flush and sooo grateful for absolution.<br />
And another couple o' cangles on t' way out tomorrer 'cos, as eggs is eggs, you'll play at bein' a Midland banker again and ag&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.<br />
Brilliant marketing&#8230;so I am wrong; the 'daft' Catholic church ain't so 'daft' after all..</p>
<p>You'll then play ecclesiastical bingo by saying 3 of this and 9 of that on the 1st Friday of the month unless there's an 'R' in that month or if it's more than 2 ham shanks you've had and it's the same priest you confessed to, he will see that you're an inveterate little ham-shanker, Midland banker and make you do 5 decades or maybe even 15 and/or 14 Stations of the Cross.</p>
<p>For all this gunge, you'll get remission from 'time' (..Time..? After you are dead?) spent in Purgatory, the heavenly equivalent of Strangeways.<br />
90 days off your sentence and 45 days off and if the Pope blesses you in his 'Urbi et Orbi', you're out of nick right away.<br />
Bureaucracy on a scale Communism could only have dreamt of.!</p>
<p>By all that's holy! What crap!<br />
And people believe it, still.!!  </p>
<p>All too anthropomorphic; too human; God cannot possibly work like that, can He, really, come on; really!!?</p>
<p>Numbers, numbers, numbers!<br />
Ecclesiastical Bingo.!<br />
And there is an angel recording all this?<br />
And God can possibly be working like that?</p>
<p>It's 7 am now.<br />
I've been bleating for hours.<br />
So as Harry Corbett used to say with such exasperation and his hand up SOOTY..</p>
<p>Bye bye everyone.!<br />
Bye bye&#8230;!</p>
<p>Keith.<br />
SLORDFAD.<br />
haha..!

		<description>Now don&#039;t all heave a sigh of relief at once but I have been trying to post a repost-ette to young Reality Check but it (the site) won&#039;t have it.
I haven&#039;t included any URL&#039;s or addresses; I am wise to that.
However it is a tad long, as in ever the windbag, long as in, think War and Peace...?
Is there a &#039;length&#039; limit (ahem!) on here...?
Should I get me scissors out or just go away and die...
Advice in whatever form would be apprec&#039;d

		<description>TP - I can&#039;t disprove there is a teapot orbiting Mars,

RC: You can’t!!!! I thought the gaystapo knew everything. 

TP: You, Reality Check, are the one who claims to know everything: the origins of the cosmos, the origins of life, to know who was responsible, the claim to be on intimate terms with god, to know that the whole universe was made with you in mind, to also know the existence of demons and satans, and to know the tell tale signs of possession.

Well what are we all wasting our time for. Let&#039;s close down Yale, harvard, Oxford, all the seats of learning around the world. Here on the PinkNews website is someone with all the answers, Reality Check! I love it when Christians claim to be full of humility and yet make the most arrogant and stupid claims. And then stamp their feet like little children when they are ridiculed for their beliefs, saying &#039;everyone who disagrees with me is a nazi&#039;. 

[TP - How blind of you to think homosexuality was natural, like every medical and sociological institution in the western world,

RC: Evidence please.]

- feel free to come into the 21st century any time you like.

[TP - assume all the fossils in the ground show evolution happened over billions of years.

RC - Evidence please.]
Go and visit a museum, learn something.</description>
