More evidence of hatred from the ‘Religion of Peace’

Monday, September 1, 2008

DESPITE all the promises that the books condoning terrorism would be removed [from British mosques], as would the preachers advocating the rigid enforcement of the narrowest interpretration of sharia law and the overthrow of our liberal democracy – violent, intolerant prejudice continues to be preached, this time by women, in centres of ‘moderate Islam’, such [...]

Fundies fulminate when politicians dance

Sunday, July 20, 2008

THAT bastion of bigotry – LifeSiteNews.com – is beside itself with rage over the fact that a number of leading Canadian politicians, and, shock, horror, even some of a religious bent, joined in the festivities of Toronto’s recent “raunchy annual parade of homosexual revellers”.
On Friday, this obnoxious Christian fundamentalist “news” site – motto: News and [...]

Barmpots have a right to be heard too

Sunday, June 1, 2008

WE at the Freethinker carry no torch for religious zealots, but we strongly defend the right of evangelising barmpots to make twats of themselves in public – and even get shat on by gulls (yoo-hoo Stephen “Birdshit” Green, are you listening?)
So it was worrying to learn today of another setback for free speech in [...]

It’s OK to use the C-word to describe Scientology in Edinburgh, but not Glasgow

Thursday, May 29, 2008

HATS off to Edinburgh City Council bosses who said this week that they had “no objection” to the use of the word “cult” to describe the cult of Scientology.
Their decision follows the barmy police action taken at the beginning of May against a young anti-Scientology protestor in London, who was served with a summons for [...]

Silly cult summons makes asses of the police

Friday, May 23, 2008

CITY of London Police have been made to look exceedingly foolish following their issuing of a court summons to a teenager for displaying a sign that branded Scientology a “dangerous cult”.
Which, of course, is precisely what it is.
And today the boy’s protest was vindicated when the Crown Prosecution Service ruled the words were neither “abusive [...]

Grovelling apologies follow Koran shoot-up incident

Wednesday, May 21, 2008

THE chief architect of the catastrophe that is Iraq today has issued a grovelling apology.
Not for the fact that his multi-billion dollar adventure has gone quite horribly wrong; not for the fact that thousands of innocent lives have been lost; not for the fact that Iraq has been plunged back into the Dark Ages of [...]

Catholic Church vandalised by dumb Mormons

Tuesday, March 11, 2008

It takes a very special kind of stupid to vandalise a church, then post evidence of your crime on the internet.
But, hey, who ever said that religious folk were intelligent?
Three young Mormon missionaries carried out the attack at the Sangre de Cristo Catholic Church in San Luis, USA, in 2006, but their deed only came [...]

Vile US church threatens to picket Heath Ledger’s funeral

Friday, January 25, 2008

THE despicable fundamentalist morons who make up the congregation of Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, have signalled their intention of picketing the funeral of Australian actor Heath Ledger, 28, who was found dead earlier this week in New York.
The Rev Fred Phelps’ vile outfit, which operates the God Hates Fags website, decided to target [...]

You can’t hate us but we want to hate you

Friday, December 21, 2007

A cross-party group of MPs want ensure that homophobic Christians can continue to express their views on gay people.
They’ve tabled an amendment to that effect, effectively seeking to amend the government’s proposal to make a criminal offence of incitement to hatred on the grounds of sexual orientation. Among them, as we might expect, are a [...]

In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ

Friday, November 30, 2007

“WHAT a wonderful Christian attitude some have,” says a commenter to a Daily Mail story about a priest who has been receiving hate mail.
And why has this member of the clergy been the subject of a hate campaign that has even included what appears to be an arson attack? Because this member of the clergy [...]
