Brummie Council ban atheist websites

The authority's Bluecoat Software computer system allows staff to look at websites relating to Christianity, Islam, Hinduism and other religions but blocks sites to do with "witchcraft or Satanism" and "occult practices, atheistic views, voodoo rituals or any other form of mysticism".

How the fuck is atheism lumped in the same category as, voodoo, witchcraft, and occult, but Chirstianity and Islam aren't?
Fuckin retards.

Bob Savage probably loves this and is having a wee pray now.

Voodoo isn't the right term anyway. Vodun or Vodoun is, and it is a religion, despite repeated repression by Catholic interests in Haiti and other places.

29 July, 2008 - 20:25

eh, who gives a shit? it's all batshit nonsense
that was kinda my point about christianity anyway

if IceT calls it VOODOO, I call it voodoo

29 July, 2008 - 20:28

I cant believe you are relying on Ice T for accurate terms. That is not scientific my love - don't lose your objectivity, please. xx

29 July, 2008 - 20:28

the important thing is the way they juxtapose "christianity and islam" with "atheism and other mysticism", that requires a special species of stupid.

oh no but didn't you see they bit where they spelled 'voodoo' wrong and how it's a proper religion?

I never said it was proper. No religion is proper,it's all shit, I just like some accuracy if people are going to get antsy about blocking sites.

Jess, if I understood the reference you were making I'd answer seriously, but as I don't:
Yeah, I hate children, so no problem.

Dee is the new Bob Savage

30 July, 2008 - 15:05

Can't rhyme stuff, so nope, sorry. Anyway, I don't see why you can express your research interests on threads and I can't.

As an early practice of creating pharmacological Zombies, fuck yeah it deserves respect. FFS xconorx you know I hate religion. I'd tentatively argue you've been zombified while you were in the US, 'cause at the moment all you are spouting is bile - where is the thoughtful xconorx who extolled the virtues of rational thinking, relationship dedication and supermalt? I want him back plz. sad

30 July, 2008 - 15:23

What's that? You like voodoo?
wink

oooh, you wookapeg..... It's no good, I can't stay angry at you for long. wink
Nope, not into Vodun as religion - I like the idea of chemically disabling my enemies brains. However, its probably easier to let them do it themselves with booze rather than having to muck about with dried fish skin and herbs and stuff.

Lucky escape there Conor... You could have woken up one morning to find her pissing on your doorstep and then you'd have be together FOREVER!

Curiously enough all four of the Voodoo books I bought for researching Ishmael Reed's "Mumbo Jumbo" were borrowed by a Catholic and never returned...

whoa, so all those blokes pissing in doorways in Friday nights are doing some mumbo-jumbo to get partners? scary stuff.

The catholic probably burnt the books - then danced round the fire nekkid. they do that kind of thing. Probably.

All I'm reading here is that Dee actually believes in magic - you and Lone Wolf should hang out.

30 July, 2008 - 18:12

Fuck off.
Actually, that wouldn't be such a bad idea. The two of us could probably slam your bitch ass if you come over for the London bookfair, then Refused can take pictures. The taunting you would receive after would be worth a brief alliance with a believer in magic (which i don't think Lone Wolf does, but you have a longer acquaintance than I do) which goes against my own cynical pragmatism.
On the other hand, you could then truly claim to be an asset to feminism by allowing my hatred for overbearing men to be so publicly expressed. It's a toughie.

Its what black people in london do - voodoo.

30 July, 2008 - 19:33

There are so many potential answers to that that my sarcasm circuits overloaded.

P.S would you be interested in joining a temporary coalition to bitch slap xconorx if he comes over to London? I will contribute towards the cost of a special outfit from TKMaxx for you so you can also display your fashion superiority - I'll probably stick to trainers and jeans. This is an open invitation to any other females who are interested -time for some reverse matriarchy action methinks.

30 July, 2008 - 19:38

Youse could start a witches coven.

30 July, 2008 - 20:10

No thanks. But feel free to start your own. I can just see you sacrificing a vegan sausage to the full moon while Revol, Weeler and all get to have the kinky sex and fun.

Awesome post.

To clarify i don't believe in magic - this is an epithet granted by Conor because i said that if i had the money i would like to try out MBT trainers which the little tyke named "magic shoes" . roll eyes

But we should TOTALLY do the bitch ass slamming anyway. Let's just fucking do it, i'm feeling restless. tongue

No more or less crazy than the Christians, with their magic water and chanting, to be fair.
