Funny, I was thinking how ridiculous the names of the apostles etc were the other day. Just another proof of how established religions are total bollox.

I think you've missed the point rather. These are the modern equivalent names. Just as I have a Hebrew friend Joseph... his name isn't actually Joseph but something very hard to pronounce, but Joseph is not a 'made up' name.

Names are very important, and carry great meaning, in the bible (and I assume the Koran, etc). You can have many reasons to consider religions stupid, but the anglicised naming is not one of them. If you got a modern bible in Spanish or Chinese it's likely the names would be different there too, for instance in French bibles they have the Gospels of Luc & Jean rather than Luke and John.

PS Except Satanism of course. Off to the village goat's arse kissing event later.

This is indeed true we Anglicised names and appearances Jesus probably appeared Jewish possibly Arabic and as you say the names were more likely Jewish/Arabic before the west got hold of them. But the reason given for changing them is populist and revisionist not historic.

Mary wasn't called Mary. She might have been Maria (Greek) or possibly Miriam (Aramaic)
John would have been Yohanan or Ioannes
Anglicising a name doesn't mean that is what they were called, it's just an interpretation that works in a particular language.

Just checked, the Torygraph have now discovered the story, but if they knew about it 2 days ago, they were sitting on it like they are sitting on the list of attendees at a party/drunken business meeting that took place about a year ago.

A bit less embarrassing than the Beeb and Jimmy Saville then?

I was talking about the OTHER Andrew Neil story. You really are so obsessed with wailing that you've missed a big story this week.

...it may, or may not, be related to a woman that Boris paid over £100k to from the public purse for a quick feel behind the bike sheds, along with Captain Bob's daughter, a randy royal and someone who Trump daubed in hoping to get immunity from prosecution.
ALLEGEDLY.

Oh you mean ex Bojo confessed adulterous squeeze twatters something stupid probably on her second babycham suggesting Andrew Neil may have travelled on Epstein's plane or partaken in criminal activity with no proof. Neil threatens to sue.

oh I forget you just believe not demand facts.

Neil wrote in response: “I have clicked to follow you. Please DM your address/contact details so my lawyers can serve legal papers against you for this clear libel and defamation. I’ve instructed the papers to be drawn up now. All those tweeting support for and spreading her tweet will also be served.”

To this, Arcuri responded: “You really are threatened by me @afneil. Thank you for confirming. Now the world sees exactly what you are.”

Neil, who was chairman of GB News until he resigned this summer, replied to Arcuri again, writing: “I will not engage in a public Twitter spat with you, though every subsequent tweet you make just makes it worse. Please just DM your address to me so we can begin the necessary legal action against you. Thank you.”

It is vaguely interesting but its like Satan accusing God of direct carnal knowledge with Malika.

[WTFH]

They don't even talk about him according to WTFH.

Odd you think they dislike one of their top columnists?

The GBnews story was just too juicy to ignore. If they had our tin foil wearer would claim its a sign.

Just replace "man-made" with "small-batch, hand-crafted", and make sure most everyone in a pamphlet is dark-skinned and in a wheelchair (that's what UK Gov genuinely did for Covid posters).

The beeb won't cover it because the tory party don't want them to.

You really are confused as to who pulls the strings.

Why do you think the Andrew Neil story isn't getting the coverage it should.
Why are all your sources so quick to forget about Prince Andrew and get back to Meghan bashing?

Damn I should have invested in Tin foil!

31,500 stories involving Andrew Neil on the wail. Any more and he will be as high profile as Ant & Dec or Katie Price.

There are daily stories on Maxwell / Epstein pervy Andy gets mentioned in every one! When they have something he can't sue over it will cover the front page.

Meghan admitted in public she lied about the big things , she is also suing the wail its in their interest to nail her.

still no entry in the Beeb or the slaver.

You would think if the leader of one of the world's biggest religions questions the EU it might be news. Seems to be for the competition!

Ahh those left of centre rags The Telegraph and The Times....

Anyway last time I looked the UK wasn't in the EU.

Instead we are led by someone who has a social distance with the truth.

[vetran]

Daily Mail gets worked up about the EU.
Needs to deflect from local issues and knows the trigger words for its readers.
Conflates "Christian" with "English"
Relies on its snowflake readers to have a frothing meltdown.

Poster tries to support the EU and apologise for the Pope blaming it all on the wail! Makes stuff up because the word English doesn't appear in the story.
Luckily the Telegraph & Times report it as well

Trying to ban such Christian terms amounted to “a fad, watered-down secularism,” Francis said. “It is something that throughout history has not worked.”
“In history, many dictatorships have tried to do these things. I’m thinking of Napoleon, the Nazi dictatorship, the Communist one.”

The pope said that while he believed the EU was “necessary”, it should not try to erase the different identities of countries within the bloc.
