Right wing Christian Conservative news, leading us to a more moral society !

he Parole Board has described a proposal paedophile Graham Capill be freed early from prison so he can be assessed for a sex offenders’ programme as “novel”.

Capill, a former head of the Christian Heritage political party and a former police prosecutor, is serving a nine-year jail sentence for the sexual violation of three young girls, aged between five and 11.

———————————————————-

Only a few years ago, Haggard was among the most prominent evangelical leaders in the country. But he fell from grace after a drug and sex scandal involving a gay male prostitute was exposed in 2006. The scandal forced him to resign as pastor of the 14,000-member New Life Church in Colorado Springs and as president of the National Association of Evangelicals.

The defence case was that the accused was being blamed for the murder by the other three men, who belonged to the same gang.

“There is something of a mystery here,” Justice Toogood said.

“What is clear is that one of these four men must have killed Mr Dhaliwal.”

……………..
I think we have to face the fact that people can get off when it isn’t proven. It isn’t enough that there were four bad eggs there as in anyone will do to be the guilty one.

Catholic Clergy news.

Priest admits rape of more children

By JOANNE McCARTHY Aug. 1, 2013, 1raped a boy with a cane at a Hunter Catholic school in 1979, smiled as he said “this is for being a cry baby”, and then caned the sobbing boy’s hands.

Father John Denham was in his 30s when he raped a 12-year-old boy across a school desk in 1977 and left him bleeding but silenced after threatening to tell the boy’s violent father.

Denham targeted boys whose families were stricken by recent tragedy, gave them alcohol and molested them.

He used the school intercom to call victims to his room, fondled boys as they read religious texts in front of class, and molested a boy as he prayed on his knees while in church.

In a Sydney court yesterday Denham, 70, said the word “guilty” 25 times to confirm another 18 victims, only three years after pleading guilty to molesting 39 boys.

No use voting me down god nutters. This is all cut and paste of admitted offending. !!! 🙁

It shows how gone in the head Red is that he considers me presenting the truth as the problem, but has nothing to say about depraved child rapists. Not a word about that. Nothing. And he has the cheek to questions the morals of the “progs” !

Red refuses to speak out against little boys being cruelly sodomised by Catholic Priests, but you can not shut him up about a couple of adult men being in a consensual relationship. This shows the true morality of the Conservatives he claims to represent. Not a principle in sight. Just hate, bias, hypocrisy and lies.

Red, Lucy & kowtow can busy themselves frantically reinforcing each others delusions, but decent folk know the truth. So knock yourselves out and be very thankful there is no hell for you to burn in.

LOL Weihana, Putin and Lavrov are running rings around Obama and Kerry.

The weapons inspectors were in Syria when the latest attacks occurred because the Russians submitted a 100 page report to the UN showing the rebels had used CW in May and they were there to verify it And quite “coincidentally” the day they arrive there is another CW attack occurs just a few miles from where the weapons inspectors are staying which diverts them from their primary mission and immediately gets blamed on Assad who must be really dumb to do this under the noses of the inspectors? Cue Tui ad

Under the noses of the inspectors? The inspectors can only go where the government permits them to go and they were not permitted to visit the scene of the attacks until several days afterwards.

Um Weihana you are aware that we are not talking about gaining access to Aotea Square in Auckland but a rebel held area in a war zone where a battle was raging aren’t you? And you are also aware that the Syrian Government were responsible for the safety of the inspectors and would be held accountable if something bad was to happen to them?

And even after the area concerned was secured by the Syrian Government the inspectors were fired upon as they tried to enter it the first time and were forced to retreat?

This is all public knowledge if you want to find it out but if you want the Syrian Government to look as bad as possible these are facts you omit in telling the tale

Lucy, you are full of shit and have no principles.

All that is required to reveal that is to simply reverse the religions. Eg; your remarkable statement that people should just submit when invaded. But not if they are Jews or Christian. So it clear you have no principles.

You were caught out lying yesterday and when corrected with historical facts you then made personal attacks on me and tried to change the subject. I am referring to your lie that the Phillipines are under invasion by Muslims, when in fact the Muslim country was attacked and invaded by Catholics. There are no Christian countries under attack by Muslim armies.

Your pitiful attempts to claim the moral high ground lack any credibility against your proven back ground of being an unprincipled liar. But all is not lost. You simply need to accept the truth. You can still maintain your religious beliefs and although the bible is a pretty dark and hideous book, I am pretty sure it does not tell you to lie.

Griff, I can not stand “agnostics”. Of course we can not prove 100% if god exists or not. Philosophically I am well aware of that argument. However the same can be said of the Tooth Fairy, Magic Dragons and rather a lot else. Yet cowards (Like Red) do not claim to be “agnostic” on those things.

If you have no evidence for something why believe in it or be in doubt over its existence. Agnostic = gutless coward.

The term “atheist” annoys me to. We are born atheists. It is the default position. We do not say we are “atheists” about Magic Dragons etc, so why god ? Non belief in something for which there is no evidence is not a belief system. I am not an “atheist” to make a statement or to annoy theists. It is simply about telling the truth, as opposed to living a lie and ending up like Lucy.

Fuck that !

I share your dislike of gutless agnostics. However, I have to say that once humans pass the age of childhood there is very little reason for them to hide behind the term Atheist either.

I much prefer the term anti-theist, I can find no better way of describing my attitude towards the communal delusion that is religion than anti-theist.

And this is why they feel free to use them, because people will believe them without a shred of evidence to support their claims and it is common knowledge that the American public is in no mood for war.

Human Rights Watch has investigated alternative claims that opposition forces themselves were responsible for the August 21 attacks, and has found such claims lacking in credibility and inconsistent with the evidence found at the scene. Claims that the August 21 deaths were caused by an accidental explosion by opposition forces mishandling chemical weapons in their possession are inconsistent with large numbers of deaths at two locations 16 kilometers apart, and documentation of rocket attacks on the sites that morning, as evidenced by witness accounts, the damage visible on the rockets themselves, and their impact craters.

A Catholic priest is walking down the street when suddenly a sweating, greasy Turk accosts him.

“Pictures of little boys.” says the Turk.
“Go away, I’m not interested.” says the priest.
The Turk is persistent. “Go on – pictures of leetle boyssss!!!” he leers.
“I’m a man of God – go away!” yells the priest.
“Last chance – pictures of leetle boys!!!!!” sneers the Turk.
“Oh okay then,” sighs the priest, “how many do you want?”

big bruv, As non belief in imaginary beings in not a belief system, I can not speak for other non believers, as I can make no predictions on what they might think.

But for me, it is simply about being honest, sincere and truthful. I do not believe in god. I do not hold that position simply to be a contrarian or to incite debate. Many theists seem to see that as a slap in the face, but what do they expect us to do ?:

1. Pretend to believe in god ?

2. Lie about belief in god ?

Because they are the only two choices an “atheist” has. I might add that I am strongly opposed to religion, but that is not the reason I am a non believer. I am a non believer because… I don’t believe. In fact many theists are opposed to organised religion for the same reasons I am.

I happen to agree with you on all of that. However I would go even a little bit further. I would not be a follower of the sky fairy even if it was proven that he/she/it did exist. Why would anybody would want to be a follower of a thing that could convict you of thought crimes?, why would you want to follow a thing that was so jealous, evil, hard hearted, uncaring, vain, cruel and narcissistic is something that I will never understand.

Their god is a dictator, one that will allow no debate nor will it allow itself to be questioned. I think the late Christopher Hitchens described religion (and the slavish following of the Sky fairy) best as akin to living in a celestial North Korea.

big bruv , yes I agree. I was going to say that, but did not for the sake of brevity. I think a few on KB would benefit from reading Richard Dawkin’s book, The God Delusion. Not in the expectation that they would change their minds, but in the hope they would better understand the position of those who do not share their faith. Theists seem to have some rather colourful and inaccurate ideas about non believers. Personally I am not really all that interesting and are fairly conservative in my habits. 🙂

A couple made a deal that whoever died first would come back and
inform the other if there is sex after death. Their biggest fear was
that there was no after life at all.

After a long life together, the husband was the first to die. True to
his word, he made the first contact:

” Marion …. Marion ”

“Is that you, Bob?”

“Yes, I’ve come back like we agreed.”

“That’s wonderful! What’s it like?”

“Well, I get up in the morning, I have sex. I have breakfast and then
it’s off to the golf course. I have sex again, bathe in the warm sun
and then have sex a couple of more times.. Then I have lunch (you’d be
proud – lots of greens). Another romp around the golf course, then
pretty much have sex the rest of the afternoon. After supper, it’s
back to golf course again. Then it’s more sex until late at night. I
catch some much needed sleep and then the next day it starts all over
again”

“Oh, Bob! Are you in Heaven?”

“No — I’m a rabbit somewhere in South Carolina.”

I have regular chats with a christian minister. He is a man I respect. Ultra conservative, ex army and very committed to his faith. We clearly disagree on the existence of god, but when the conversation turns to social and political issues of the day we find considerable common ground. Sometimes we agree for different reasons, but we do agree. He is better informed than Lucy or kowtow and is able to engage with non believers without demonising them. He also does not slag off all Muslims, though considers them misguided.

You can’t be serious. Wow, the Philippines were Muslim and invaded by Catholics. Wow. How can you even type that with a straight face. I’m glad you explained it, because I didn’t realise what you meant when you kept saying I was lying. Wow. I’m stunned.

And yes, there are Christian countries under attack by Muslim armies. Foreign fighters pour into countries to aid the local Muslims in attacking the Christian majorities. Not proven in the Philippines yet, but give it time. Definitely evidence for that in Nigeria. And Syria, though that’s not a Christian majority country, but it does show how Muslim fighters operate to destabilise and overthrow a government.

No one doubts that poison gas was used in Syria. But there is every reason to believe it was used not by the Syrian Army, but by opposition forces, to provoke intervention by their powerful foreign patrons

No evidence has been provided of this. There is no evidence they possess the weapons and even if they did no evidence that they would be capable of delivering it in a manner that would cause the massive death toll that occurred.

“Four months ago, Turkish security forces found a two-kilogram cylinder with sarin gas after searching the homes of Syrian militants from the al-Qaeda and al-Nusra. They are using our borders to take the gas into Syria,” Mohamad Gunes said.

Hagia Sophia was a Christian Church for 1000 years before the Turks conquered Constantinople and turned it into a Mosque etc etc etc

Reid, if he carried on like the resident Christian Taliban I would. He does not launch into personal attacks and he does not lie. He believes for real but accepts facts as facts. He would not (for example) lie about the Philippines being invaded by Muslims and understands that his religion came from the Middle East and not Alabama in the USA or England.

Eg; your remarkable statement that people should just submit when invaded. But not if they are Jews or Christian.

Never said that.

What I said was:

I am not a moral relativist. (see this link for a transcript of a refutation of moral relativism by philosopher Peter Kreeft). Therefore I don’t think every situation is morally the same. So every situation needs to be evaluated far more deeply than just going, oh look, it’s the same as X-Y, just turned on it’s head to Y-X. Which is what you are trying to do with taking my examples and turning them around, implying that they are the same in some way.

Invasions by Muslims have always been detrimental, you only have to be a rudimentary student of history to see that. Obviously I would feel very different about an overwhelming force of Muslims, just like I would feel different about Nazis or Soviets, all of which need to be vigorously resisted because to not do so results in a worse outcome. How Muslims or Nazis or Soviets feel or think about what they are doing is therefore irrelevant.

And:

Compare Western nations that were built by Christians with nations captured by Islam from Christianity and what do you get? On the one hand, advanced modern nations and on the other backwards shit holes.

Your summary of what I said is far too simplistic and therefore wrong.

Hahahha.. the idiot bigot Bruv appoints himself objective arbitrator, apparently in complete ignorance of how farcical that assumption is.

Kea – you are so ignorant, abysmally so, the entire Middle East was Christian before the Muslims came

LOL 🙂 Remind readers where the “Muslims” “came” from ?

the entire Middle East was ~~Christian~~ Jewish before the ~~Muslims~~ Christians came

the entire Middle East was ~~Christian~~ polytheists before the ~~Muslims~~ Jews came

From your cite:

America and Israel had al-Qaeda use chemical weapons in order to push us into war

Do you really believe that conspiracy BS?

Look at the evidence in the HRW report. The attacks involved Russian and Iranian rockets fired from launchers the opposition are not known to possess. Moreover, preparing the rockets for such an attack requires sophisticated teams to prepare the rockets for launch. Again, something the opposition is not known to have.

It’s like the world has entered some sort of alternate dimension where Putin, finder of sunken treasure, is suddenly the straight talker.

Reid, if he carried on like the resident Christian Taliban I would.

Has it ever occurred that you carry on like the atheist Taliban Kea? Or don’t you care because you’re so up yourself you think your tiny, closed mind is superior to that of all the Christian theologians and practitioners who have ever lived?

Sorry if you think that’s hurtful, but that’s what you’ve been doing since you “graced” this blog with your “wisdom” and those of us who know a thing or two about Christianity sometimes find it hard to stand aside and let you launch scurrilous falsehoods left, right and centre with narry a thought or even a superficial nod to those who have made arguments over the centuries opposing and directly refuting your childishly naive and extremely shallow analyses.

If you ever paid heed to some of those people, whose writings are freely available to the genuine truth seeker, then you wouldn’t face the troll allegations you currently stand accused of by almost everyone here whose got a 3-digit IQ.

I stopped engaging with you in the Christian field months ago after some pointless exchanges where you proved you were a fanatic, won’t change his mind and can’t change the subject.

Like I said, if you want to come face to face with Taliban-like behaviour, look in the mirror, my friend and brother in Christ, which you are from, whether you know it or not.

” I didn’t realise what you meant when you kept saying I was lying. ”

He is constantly making that false allegation. He accuses people of lying all of the time without ever applying any rational definition such as they are deliberately repeating something they know is false.

He uses the allegation only to gain attention, and you can see his comments becoming more and more desperate and hysterical in nature the longer he is ignored.

His arrant narcissism makes him scream and kick like a spoilt child, and his writing here is empty wailing.

Honestly I am constantly surprised that you guys fall for an act that is so transparent.

He is frantic for your attention, so why give it to him?

Interesting comments from Larry Keating in San Fransisco on Live Sport this morning.

Larry Ellison has spent $150 million in New Zealand in the last ten years.

The boats he is racing are built in Warkworth. Now the GST on 150 million is alot. The wages spent by the boat builders are huge, the PAYE paid by all these boat builders is enormous and then we have the disaffected worrying about 36 million, jesus Larry Ellison has paid for our whole challenge and there is still some left over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lucy, Christianity was forced on the Muslim population by Christian invaders. it is documented historical fact. Accept it.

Christianity doesn’t work that Kea, unlike Islam. We have this concept of freedom of conscience and no Christian will tell you that a person deserves to be killed if they leave Christianity. Yet, leaving Islam is physically dangerous for many Muslims who want to convert, because many times even their family wants to kill them! There’s no references to conversion by force in that link you gave (except by Islam) – could it be that you are assuming what’s not there?

“Yeah, read that Kea. Doesn’t say the the Philippines were entirely converted to Islam, though.”

Stop being a smart arse. I made the point that no Christian country was under occupation from Muslim invaders and you claimed I was wrong and used the Philippines as an example of a Muslim invasion.

It was a lie and you should admit it.

Um, no you didn’t actually. You just clarified it to that later when you were losing the argument. What you said was:

No Christian majority countries are occupied by Muslim soldiers and it has been that way for a very very long time.

No lie, just took a sentence and replied to it, taking the strictest interpretation of it without being limited by the context you gave it.

You took far more liberty with Fletch’s comment than I did with yours.

What’s the problem, Muslims looking really bad and you’re trying to deflect?

Reid, The reason you stopped engaging is because you were unable to refute my position and had to resort to personal attacks. It scares me the self delusion you live under in order to believe in a lie. Such a waste of an otherwise intelligent mind. All because you lack the guts to face your own mortality. Tragic stuff.

I guess I am “fanatical” about telling the truth and being sincere. It is not something I expect you to understand as you hide in a fog of religious nonsense.

But tell you what, how about a peace offering, olive branch, white dove ? Prove god exists and I will shut up about religion for while. If you can not prove the basis for YOUR position, then it is only fair YOU shut up about it.

The God hating Richard Dawkins supports pedophilia.

Dawkins went on to say that one of his former school masters “pulled me on his knee and put his hand inside my shorts,” and that to condemn this “mild touching up” as sexual abuse today would somehow be unfair.

Al Abu is so frantic for attention that the other night he actually posted in an exchange with another blithering nutter, LRC, that he had a “massive cock”.

Why would anyone engage with an idiot like that? Other than his other bum chums…..dawanker,nastyarse et al.

Notice how animated he’s become now that he thinks he’s got some attention.

It’s like the world has entered some sort of alternate dimension where Putin, finder of sunken treasure, is suddenly the straight talker.

No Weihana this dawning conciousness has been happening for some time and Putin is only riding that wave. The West have jumped the shark with their chemical weapon attack which conveniently happened just when the inspectors hit town, only a few blocks away from where they are staying. Now what sort of galloping mental doesn’t think that’s slightly queer? Why just when Assad has everything to lose since he’s been winning for ages, just at that moment he turns around and does something absolutely guaranteed to provoke the very reaction the evil ones in London and Washington and Tel Aviv have been shoving down the useful idiots throats over the last few weeks.

And don’t forget mate that ever since this started Russia, China and Syria have all been saying what is always has been to those of us with eyes, that it’s always been a Western inspired and funded regime-change operation. I’ve been saying that since before Syria hit the news and lots of others have been too.

And now you have millions of previously useful idiots all shedding their myopic vision and finally but finally waking up to what’s been going on, for decades. It’s interesting, people I talk to at work and on the ferry and on the bus, all of them are saying the same thing. It’s like a mass awakening. And I think this is just the beginning. Time has been called on the evil ones. You watch when the previously useful idiots start picking over the fragments from the last decade or so, you wait to see what they do there.

Of course the evil ones won’t allow that. They’ll stage another attack, this time no doubt with half-burned Iranian and Syrian passports. Can’t have a mass awakening, can we. That’s what they’ll do.

You wait.

But I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve already crossed a bridge too far. Their sheer arrogance at their success to date overwhelmed their past caution, and their weakness has been exposed. Sunlight.

He is frantic for your attention, so why give it to him?

Because we love him RB. Because we love him.

Lucy, spend two minutes googling before you write. It was done like that. I even gave you links yesterday.

Christians have a long history of forced conversion and the Catholics are the worst of all. How do you think your religion got from the Middle East to infect the globe ? It was not by love and charity I can tell you that much.

eastbay, he doesn’t pay GST if he takes them out of the country. So there is no GST gain in the system – but there is company tax and PAYE (ie jobs – oops, is it OK to say that??) through the production chain.

You continue to show how woeful your knowledge of history is Kea.

At the time of Christ the Jews were a people of the Middle East, which was part of the Roman Empire and the dominant culture of the Middle East at that time was GREEK and the Greek language and culture which became Christian dominated the Middle East for the next 700 years until the Arab conquests

Gawd that is almost as hypocritical and idiotic as your “living rent free in your head” allegation of the other day.

You have even admitted you can’t control your obsession to come here and seek out Redbaiter, and you have been doing it now for more than a year, with only the odd plainly distracted comment on a side issue when the compulsive nature of your behaviour becomes embarrassing even to you.

You are one sick puppy, and I have had some obessives and cowards doing this kind of thing before but I’d say you have the madness much more than any of those.

You really should see a shrink. You’re behaviour is so unbalanced, and getting worse. I’m seriously thinking you could be a real threat.

Certainly Kea.

Calculate the statistical improbability of the universe and all the beings in it being formed by mere random chance and you have your proof. To make it easy for you, you don’t even have to calculate the probability of matter, dark matter, zero-point energy, gravity, electricity, black holes, stars and planets forming, if you like. All you need to do is calculate the probability of life forms on Earth evolving to their present condition. In fact, you don’t even need to do that. All you need to do is to calculate the probability of DNA evolving from a “primordial soup” into what we know it as today, as it exists in us.

My calculation of the latter is 10 to the power of 9,854,623,752,356,248,649,784,325,489,627 against DNA forming without intelligent design.

What’s yours?

Impressive calculation Reid. Can you explain how you did it? In order to calculate the probability of DNA evolving from a primordial soup you would need to consider ALL POSSIBLE chemical pathways, weighted by the probability of their occurrence, a calculation that is way way way way beyond anyone else.
