Is that true?

Our fairy stories seem to be getting the PC treatment.
Cant have Black sheep. Cant have pigs. Where will this madness end?

Can you imagine what it would be like though, to end up in the after life and find the heads of each of the major religions lined up in front of you.

Except of course, that the monotheists would know immediately that it had all gone pear shaped.

Though I'd imagine in such a scenario, the "heads" would all get together and utterly duff up the atheists and agnostics. ( And anyone who'd tried the old Pascal Wager ).

You walk up to your chosen deity, the one you have spent your life beliving in and worshipping. You walk up to them and say "Here I am Lord, I followed you and worshipped you all my life now admit me to paradise!"

They look at you with a smile and pull out a piece of folded card which they open and show to you. On it is written one word.


"Bluff"

Fair point.

I suppose it's their knee-jerk reaction to supporting minorities by penalising majorities. All in the interest of fairness.

If they bothered to ask most Muslims they'd say they're not bothered. Which raises the suspicion that it's the elected officials who hate Christianity.

I don't think it's a hatred of Christianty. I think it is a bunch of PC pillocks easing their consciences or some NL non job trying to justify their community relations salary.

Practicing (or celebrating) Christianity: A number of councils have got rid of their nativity scenes and there is always discusion of not wanting to offend the Muslims.

Denny: I agree that we as a Nation(s) are one of the most welcoming and accepting of cultures for other cultures. We adapt and adopt oter cultures.

There is a difference between us adapting and adopting cultures and us having othercultures thrust upon us. Sometimes we only realise tha our cultural heritage has been lost after the fact. "You don't know what you've lost till it's gone".

English as a language: Why are there road signs written in Polish on some raods in the UK? Why are all our social services documents available in multiple languages?
Why is our school curiculum being changed at allow for foreign students?

There is so much more going on. You stating there is nothing wrong will allow us to be taken over without evn a whimper untill it is too late.

Classic moment from Black Books, where Bernard, who will do anything to avoid doing his tax return, invites some JW's into his shop to talk. They're confused and don't know what to do. "It's never happened before".

I tell Jehova's Witnesses I'm a Satanist when they come round

I tell them we are Yiddish/Jewish and they look at me like I'm Satan

[DiscoStu]

Is Satanism a recognized religion?

No!

Guess I can't vote Other then

It's recognised in the Navy. You'd be most welcome there:
