Picked up the same jurno who gave me the losing tip last week he told me this story .Last week the archbishop of Dublin issued a statement saying you should not drink and drive .So no story there ..But WAIT .The story behind the story .A man in Offally was done for drink driving on a Sunday morning his defence was there is only one mass in his parish on Sundat and there is no local transport so he has to drive to mass .Judge done him and banned him so he applied for a judicial review of the sentence claiming he has a constitutional right to practice his religion and Cannon Law dictates that he celebrates the Sabbath day so must atttend mass on Sunday .He is claiming that he is being preventid from doing this by the new drink laws .He was refused leave to appealso is going to Europe .
-
Seems reasonable.
-
Can he not listen on the wireless or watch it on TV?
By the sounds of it, he'll already have some wine in the house and probably some pitta bread from the previous night's takeaway?
-
Sounds no more outrageous a defence then the polish fella who was acquitted after he claimed that the charges notification form was only printed in English,and should have been printed in IRISH also.HE WON HIS CASE .also on a serious note,I dare say if it was a foreigner who made a similer claim about not being able to practice his religion,rhe immigrant council of Ireland would have backed him all the way,and the authorities as usual,would have shit themselves and dismissed the charges

Driving to Europe just to attend Mass?
Is he Opus Dei? 8)
-
Our kid recons he is using the system ,probably some old lad if he is appealing his sentence then the sentence will be suspended until the europeans hear the case .If he is old enough he might be dead before Europe are finished dealing with not dealing with it .

I reckon that journal is using you as a social experiment.
Either that or you have gullible written on your forehead

The Lord said Sunday was to be the Sabbath and no one should work.
So why are Priests allowed spout their vague Gibberish onnthe Sabbath?
Hypocrisy I tells ya!
-
Stand outside a Synagogue or Mosque on Saturday then, Silver.............good luck with that.

That’s not working, that’s scoping our their prey, durty bastards

Why ate you taring all the priests with the one brush ? Yes its true to say a number of catholic priests have le the church down big time,but some have down tremendous work like Peter Mcvery

I’ll reserve my judgement on him til he dies!! That’s when the accuser will come out of the woodwork.
Anyways, why would you believe in any of that made up mumbo jumbo.
Do you still believe in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy??

Fell asleep outside a synagogue
Woke up in the morning
With a heavy jew on me!
-
My point was He/She never said Sunday was the Sabbath....the 7th day was and still should be Saturday......Pope changed it way back.
-
Vikkiz there is equally as much chance of it being true,as untrue.so regardless of your sarcastic remarks regarding santa claus,or the tooth fairy ,unless you definitely prove otherwise,I would ask you to be a bt more respectful to those of us who DO chose to believe
-
There's a lot of value in religious beliefs regardless of authenticity. All religions promote a sense of community and encourage respect and equality in society.
-
G.K. Chesterton once said if God doesn't exist then it is necessary to create one. Our track history alludes to our barbaric nature without one to control us....irregardless(sic) of its inherent veracity.
-
Ah remember the days when mass was said in Latin, when ladies wore head scarves to mass and priests wore collars.
Who gave the OK to change all this ?
-
The Pope?
-
And was it the pope who signed off the Ok for all the abuse ?
-
Several of them probably.....
-

Because he hated Saturday, like most taxi drivers.

Not sarcastic, just true. Religions were create to keep people in check, install order in peoples lives.
I know you are a big believer and that’s your choice, but what would you say about other religions? Scienceology, Islam, etc etc
-
What I would say is,I acknowledge their existence,but dont subscribe to their teachings
-
Can't see why a faith without any evidence is worthy of itself of any more respect or less entitled to be scorned than any other unevidenced belief. Watch in an unbiased way Hitchens/Dawkins/Harris et al.
-
Well I dont think ANY religion is there to be shot at really,but a bit of respect for those who DO believe would do no harm
-
Darwinists deserve special contempt in my opinion........we're descended from Apes........even though the genetic conundrum cannot be explained.......we have fewer chromosomes that some attempt to explain away by a fusion.......we're a race imported to be some superior race's slaves.
-
I think you'd make a good Muslim, DM. You don't drink, you don't gamble, you despise homosexuality, you obviously believe in God... How are you gonna vote in the women's place in the home referendum?
-
Seriously rat,my mate and I were only discussing last night,the similarities between the aspirations of the catholic church,and the teachings of islam.I have to say,I relate a lot to the koran,but I would never change my religion.I hope some day,if the Donald retires ,Mike Pence takes over .now there is a man I can really relate to
-
He's a Jew.............so are most of Trump's cabinet.
-
Difference is there's no way an Islamic man or woman would vote for same sex marriage, they abide by their religion.
-
Do ya know he calls his wife Mother?That's fukked up.Even the muzzies don't do that shit.
-
Did ya never see the beverlyhill billies everyone in the family calls the auldone MAAAAAAA

Culture, Rats....not a religion at all..way of life and they've embedded it masterfully into English culture.....any fellow who worked as a "Mercenary" will enlighten you. Islam is a way of life the same as Judaism is..........they shun the petty foibles us Celts adore.

I'll go with Hitchens.
That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

They may not vote for same sex marriage, but it doesn't stop them participating.

When it comes to evolution I accept that there are a lot of gaps on the evidence, and while uneducated in the science myself, I have no qualms in deferring to the experts who rate Darwin's evidence based findings very highly, and as one of man's greatest discoveries. I believe that the correct hypothesis is not that we are descended from apes, but that apes and humans share a common ancestor.
-
I'd stay on the side of Agnosticism to be safe. It's a 2 horse-race and I never back in those circumstances anyway. We humans just aren't clever enough to process the information when it's given.......and more often than not, it's never given to us anyway.
I do wonder why the Library of Alexandria and other venerable buildings were destroyed by both the Church and the Military in years gone by. There's something they don't want us to know..............because we're too stupid to understand, or because the beast in us will ensure the destruction of the planet. I'd love to be able to see the Sumerian and Babylonian scripts to try deciphering the real truth. I'd say Planet of the Apes might put the Hadron Collider back in its box. Why did the Vatican burn all the Mayan scripts in the 16th century?.............another burning issue.
It's great not being sure.............special place in Hell for me too. lol
-
If there is a god, he'll surely forgive you?
If the Catholic church could sell 'indulgences' back in the day, that would suggest that the creator of the Universe & everything in it can be bribed for a few quid. What would he do with the money? Anyways, if it's true, it can't be that hard to get into heaven.
-
I like the way God chooses those with the bigger graves for entrance into heaven.
The kip must be full of Travellers.

He's probably on a back hander from the cnuts who own the cemetary
