My Indian friends come from India. Or Leicester, but don't open _that_ can of worms..

So much the same as pretty much every other religion then?

No, probably wouldn't kill more than 2-3 million outright and another 4-5 million over the next decade. Barely worth having really.

It's a nuclear fucking weapon parked next to a city of 9 million people. I'd say that's all the fucking bomb you need.

Even at 1:2, you really have a camera with a 6cm wide sensor?

Actually, no, ignore that question. They could easily have use medium format film cameras with a macro lens (can you get medium format macro lenses? surely?) then just scanned it in.

Personally I suspect they just photoshopped the fucker though, but I'm biased.

I'm not sure whether to be appalled, impressed, distressed or just take part.

I'll settle for joining you: what the fuck...

As easy as it is to mock people getting upset at a free album, I do agree with you.

I use a third party music app on my Android phone exactly because Google's default app does its utmost to obscure my music (loaded onto my phone) with their cloud based store.

Would probably help a lot on the obesity front.

Why shouldn't people know the basics of farming, of how cars and engines work, how to manage a business. Shit, Lazarus Long expects a fuck of a lot more than that.

Your interpretation is illogical and incorrect. Your reading comprehension is as absent as the fairies. You should find an adult to help you with this.

At no point does he state that there are two things he disbelieves in (within this conversation thread - I haven't checked his lifetime utterances)

He does state 'either of those', implying two things, but that refers to his state of belief on existance of a god, and his state of belief on "a universe created and watched over" by fairies. Oh look, the 'and' refers to the actions of the fucking fairies.

Which still don't appear to exist.

Ok, you fail reading comprehension then, as well as being an idiot.

He actually said

Tell me, which Catholic fucking priest proposed a big bang theory involving infinite fucking fairies?

Please, tell me you're not talking about that fraudulent practice of 'faith healing', debunked and replicated through the same charlatan means by people trying to save gullible idiots from giving their money to exploitative conmen?

Or do you mean healing using manufactured drugs, developed and tested through the use of science?

I'm British, the rules are different for us.

Nonsense. I am a customer of Slashdot. They provide me with community, entertainment and a means of venting my ire at online idiots.

In return I contribute to that community, making their product more valuable and generating more ad views for them from the anonymous cowards that reply in horror at the posts in which I vent my ire.

I am a customer, and I'm represented in Slashdot's accounts as an asset.

But hey, I'm not an accountant. I got a proper job instead.

Sorry, I invited you to provide evidence, and you merely restated your assumption. I give your assumption no credence, and your entire argument thus fails.

Clearly the guy that posted it did. He's allowed a sense of humour. It's not indicative of his attitudes towards atheists, women, marines, college professors or beholders. It doesn't mean that he'll act with prejudice. It means he has a sense of humour - whether that's good or bad.

Tell you what: Find the evidence that he didn't post the joke to mock the marine mentality, or to show that people with archaic superstitions can't bear to be successfully challenged. Because that's just as legitimate a reason as the imputation that he posted it because he hates atheists and he wants to remove them all from positions within government sanctioned bodies.
