Uk Pope Visit Petition

As has been widely reported Pope Benedict XVI will be making a visit to the UK. God's biggest fan's impending arrival in the UK has caused many secular groups and non-Catholics call for his visit to be boycotted, or even refused. A petition setup by The National Secular Society already has 19,324 entries and counting. The main reasons for raising awareness on this visit, are outlined thus; "We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to ask the Catholic Church to pay for the proposed visit of the Pope to the UK and relieve the taxpayer of the estimated £20 million cost. We accept the right of the Pope to visit his followers in Britain, but public money would be better spent on hard-pressed schools, hospitals and social services which are facing cuts." Difficult to argue with such lucid rationalism. This is also foreshadowed by the Pope's comments on UK equality laws (specifically rights afforded to homosexuals). The Times Newspaper has an article on this, and how his pal and fellow God enthusiast The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Westminster has tried to defend the Pope's comments.

Mrs Blair Plays The Holy Get Out Of Jail Free Card!

Early last week Cherie Blair, wife to former English Prime Minister Tony Blair (1997-2007)attracted the attention of The National Secular Society when she spared Shamso Miah (a young muslim) jail time because of his religious Faith. Miah 25, had paid a visit to his bank after leaving his local mosque when he was involved in a dispute over queuing, which lead to the eventual jaw breaking of a fellow bank customer. Mrs Blair was quoted as saying "I am going to suspend this sentence for the period of two years based on the fact you are a religious person and have not been in trouble before". This raises some poignant concerns within the UK justice system, if it can be assumed because you have a religious faith, you are entitled to a lesser sentence than say, an Atheist or non-church go-er. It also raises the question of whether this particular Mosque is providing Chuck Norris inspired martial arts techniques. BROKEN JAW!

Homeopathy Sparks Mass Suicide!

As some of you may have heard, an international protest has been staged to prove once and for all the truth about homeopathy, that there really is "nothing in it". More than 300 activist hailing from the UK, Canada, Us and Australia will take part in what has been described as a mass homeopathic overdose. This was a feature in the weekly magazine, New Scientist. The reasoning behind this is to demonstrate Homeopathy is no more valid for medicinal purposes than a Placebo. Click on the link to New Scientist to read the full article, also check out this article in the Guardian by someone who plans to take part in the protest in the UK. Please use the comments section to discuss whether you feel Homeopathy is a valid alternative to tried and tested medicine, and the consequences of promoting it as such if it is nothing more than a Pseudo-science.
