BBC News - UKIP councillor blames storms and floods on gay marriage Was he flooded by water or jizz? :smile:
I was doing some work on a gay couples house during the last high winds. Their house was left unscathed while next door Mr & Mrs Go To Church Regular , was trashed ! Makes you wonder
I bet the Tories are glad that he left the party! [FONT=&]Funny old god that Mr Silvester follows. The PM (apparently all on his own) passes a bill that Mr Silvester’s god does not like, so the god punishes a lot of people who had nothing to do with the bill while leaving the evil Mr Cameron unscathed.[/FONT]
The UKIP guy gets publicity as he is in public office. His views appear extreme but the stance he has is actually quite accepted in many parts of the US. I think in response to religious extremism in other parts of the word, notably Islamic extremism, that some people from the Abrahamic religions are going the same way. My personal view is I'm an atheist. The thing with atheists though is that we hold our own views and don't usually take extreme views against other beliefs. It is probably time the secular stance was more loudly promoted in the face of attempts to impose religion on any and all. George Bush Sr once stated he would deny atheists the vote so don't think it's just a laugh.
aren't they all?... This one in particular is an absolute knob tard though... Nearly as bad as The Lib Dem Lord who won't apologise for fingering his interns...
The Lib Dem Rennard is best advised not to apologise. They couldn't prove a case against him so an apology would be an admission of guilt on his part and open him up to all sorts of trouble with lawsuits and compensation. Any lawyer would strongly advise not to apologise. I would say there is almost certainly a case he has to answer but he is the same as the rest of us in that unless proven guilty...
Odd as well that The Lib Dems allow the situation to drag on for months, internal inquiries that are shrouded in secrecy and ultimately do the typical Lib Dem thing of arseing about in the middle and not doing anything. UKIP, where I imagine Farage is a bit of a bulldog on the quiet, take about 10 minutes to unilaterally suspend the guy with immediate effect. I can't see me ever voting UKIP but I do admire the ability to actually come out publicly and state when something is not right and immediately take action.
Unfortunately UKIP do have more than their fair share of fruitcakes. However they continue to gather support from those whom the major parties ignore. Why Labour should be terrified of Ukip – Telegraph Blogs
but then they go any make serious errors which will ensure they never actually get into power. What the other parties have to avoid is to fall into the UKIP trap and by that I mean change their policy just to pander to the 'UKIP' minority just to secure an election. That's no way to run a business, let alone a country. IMO.
At last some sort of proper explanation. I mistakenly thought it was a manifestation of global warming when all the time it was an upset deity. That's far easier to deal with. A couple of goats or lambs burning on a sacrificial pyre should do the trick, although, after all the cow carcasses that were burned during the last foot-and-mouth epidemic, you'd have hoped our credit with God would have lasted a little longer. There's just no pleasing some people, but he is notoriously tetchy.
I think the Daily Mash has it right in that married gay couples can now do a lot of good by touring impoverished drought regions in Africa and bringing much needed rain (and therefore food) to those that need it most. The mysterious ways practiced by fairy tales in the sky aside, I struggle with people who eschew reality and use selective passages from their book to blame homosexual marriage on climatic events. If it were not true, I'd say it's as made up as the rest of the ramblings from Bronze Age goat herders.
I certainly wouldn't want the guy counselling me, or being on any council which might have even the smallest impact on my life. You have to assume he was voted on to that council. He may even be representative of the views of a section of the Henley-on-Thames electorate. Worrying.
So being a devout christian, remember many will have the same view on homosexuality (maybe not the floods), means you cant be trusted to make decisions now then? There are people who preach daily that all disasters are the work of God punishing man for our sins and trying to bring is inline. Its hardly news
No doubt, Bradders, you would cheerfully trust the judgement of a man who seriously holds the belief that God has wrought vengeance on the British people because their leader thought that homosexual couples should be entitled to a marriage. But I wouldn't. The bloke is clearly mad. Suppose he were an animist, or a witch doctor, would that affect your view at all? I can't see the difference, personally.
