There is one point that most people miss. The fact that as a Christian you can be as hateful and shameful as you like as long as, just before you die you ask JC for forgiveness, this will guarantee your assention into heaven. This is the most impressive caveat I have seen in any contract and I love this about their faith. He believes that no matter what he says and does he wont go to hell as long as he with his last breath asked JC to forgive him, he'll be ok. I do hope that breath is soon... Poor sad individual.

Stephen Green, a haggard and unshaven figure, obsessed and weighed down by the wickedness of modern Britain, handed out leaflets warning of the consequences of same-sex love, while announcing to anyone who would listen: "Homosexuality and sexual immorality is all on a continuum with paedophilia, bestiality, adultery, child-sacrifice.

Oh the irony, it burns! Where was the goodwill and justice when they were calling for Mark Thompson and Jonathon Thoday's heads on a platter? They shut that show down with extreme prejudice. Now suddenly the badwill is flowing the other way and they want mercy. Tough. Us unbelievers have no religious imperative not to go medieval on Stephen Green's ass. Perhaps he should have stuck to the supposed "Christian message" of forgiveness rather than mucking around with all that fire and brimstone Old Testament drivel.

The thing is, its ok for "christians" to denigrate our lives and condemn us, but conversely, we're not supposed to bash them back. Just look at the recent Islington Council ruling to allow a "christian" bigot refuse to perform a civil partnership ceremony based on her "christian" beliefs. They're NOT above the law, nobody should be. The reporter's comments, though some may disagree, are protected because it is about free speech, please or offend. The "christian", "islamic" and "jewish cults" can't have it both ways, they are equally as bad as one another. I was raised Catholic, no longer practice and in fact am an avowed atheist. The reporter's comments are fine with me as they would be if he were denigrating or villifying my atheistic beliefs. Doesn't bother me one bit. Its about time the mainstream religions started taking these bigots on and why aren't they? Luke, you have a point.

I wonder if he'd have made similar comments about mohammed's marriage to a 6 year old girl? Or does he, like the BBC, only attack Christianity while adopting a position of grovelling dhimmitude with islam? That Mr Green is an unpleasant bigot goes without saying.

On his hatesite green states that the bailiffs have been to see him in respect of the costs allocated to Mark Thompson. Hopefully Thodays will act soon. 2. It is widely being reported on blogs that the little protest had no effect as the vast majority of the editorial staff at the paper had already relocated to their new offices. So it just goes to show what we have known for a long time... that the man is really quite thick indeed. Two points of clarification:

If steven green were to jump from the top of one of the tallest structures in wales (e.g the new rugby stadium or the severn bridge) and be saved by his loving god, then i will talk about the science of christianity, accept his beliefs on homosexuality, and even revere him as his title exhorts me to.
