What - someone who actually believes in the scriptures?

Yes!

Plenty of people believe plenty of religious texts.



In terms of Christianity, to conflate natural disasters and gay marriage is at the same end of the spectrum as assorted tele evangelists of the nuttier variety, and not that distant from the inbred loons at Westbro.



However, there's nothing in what he wrote that constitutes incitement, and he is entitled to his opinion, regardless of how barking it is.



One of the funnier things is UKIP's u-turn from defending his right to hold and voice an opinion on Saturday, to changing its tune 24 hours later. The embarrassment factor rather overtook the party's commitment to free speech.

Oh, I think the UKIP councillor would receive a sympathetic hearing from Comrade Putin.....

I live on top of a hill in London, I have to play it safe what with all those gay folks here, one of my neighbours are gay, does this mean I have to worry that it'll flood this high or do I just keep on top of my plumbing?

The uk's going down hill, I'm moving to Uganda.

of Saudi Arabia - which is the ironic thing for many of "these people" against immigration and with extremist christian views - Islam fits very closely with many of their beliefs.

Of course it does, Islam is Christianity with a paedophile thrown in.

The Vatican would dispute the singular use of 'a' in its religion

For having consensual sex with someone from the same sex you go to hell, for eternity. For raping children you get defrocked.



And they say there's no justice in the world.

Absolutely. There's really not that much of a divide in terms of some attitudes. You see it time and again.



Only last week after a report somewhere on the Hollande business, some woman (American, I think) was shrilling away about 'we poor, put-upon women' (IIRC, she actually also said have enough of a burden to bear"icon_wink.gif, but she then went on to suggest that adulterous males have their "bits" cut off. In public.



It's completely extremist. It also conveniently dodges the idea that a woman ever has an affair – it's the men who are to blame entirely. And to an extent, that's a mirror or the extremist Islamic view that the woman has to cover up so as not to tempt the man – a view that then sees a woman somewhere like Saudi Arabia being punished if she dares to report as rape.



TBF, such people don't go out and act according to what they say, but you sometimes wonder whether that's simply because they don't live in a society where they could expect to get away with it.

To be fair, the UKIP guy has a point. God has made him stupid and ugly for being bigoted, so God does have form in the "unusual punishment" department.

Can't take credit for this but



UKIP (if elected) plan to save jobs at BAE Portsmouth by commissioning the building of an Ark to save us from the impending Gay Floods.

I met Bloom a few times in the 70's. He's turned out to be a far more sensible, well rounded and broad minded character than I expected at the time.

40 odd years ago ish.

Senile dementia?

What a tool that man is. I hear Putin says he has gay friends.

I don't have any, but schucks, I'll get over it.

I know so many gay people I'm surprised I'm not drowning right now... that sentence sounds a bit wrong come to think of it.

Are you a puff magnet?

I did read that he said that he never drinks less than 8 pints in a session. I wondered if ill health had forced him to cut back.

No I've done plenty of charity work in the past for my friend, a gay charity set up when his partner died.

Subsequently I now have loads of gay friends, they don't bite you know...



unless you ask them too
