Here, did anyone hear Maurice Mills ‘engaging’ directly with Ballymena Council Shinner Monica Digney on the Stephen Nolan show this morning- even asking her questions??

http://www.bbc.co.uk/northernireland/radio/nolan/

Does this mean that big Ian will be throwing him out of the DUP as he promised post 03 Election???

Having said that I think Digney overstepped the mark when she said that Mills should be ‘taken out’ by his party!

If I were Francie Molloy I would be worried…

I think it’s somewhere in Tyrone – and they better watch out

Bertie,

“I use to think that the second place sounded like an Ulster place name.”

Begorrah Gomorrah … sounds ’bout right.

Reminds me of a letter in the Telegraph once
“We all know what went on in Sodam, but what did they get up to in Gommorow?”

Sorry I’m crap at spelling. I use to think that the second place sounded like an Ulster place name.

who are the “we” may one ask?

Anyone gaining *satisfaction* from seeing people die in New Orleans would seem to be excluded from any reasonable definition of Christian?

But then I suppose you’re born again or some such imaginary thing? Repulsive creature.

It may be futile to try and save you homosexual drug-addicted suicide-cultists by calling you to repentence, but at least we have the satisfaction of seeing you get what you deserve for rebelling against righteousness.

You are quite right to be offended and most of us are sorry for your trouble. However it would seem that his right to offend (in the name of free speech) is more important than the feelings of people like yourselves who have to suffer Gods rather clumsy method of dealing with people that He created and whom bigots, such as Mr Mills, detest. The most appropriate form of response is ridicule, not votes.

What makes you think you deserve the Shinners? Maybe you just got lucky!

I think God sent the DUP as a punishment on Northern Ireland for Give my head Peace having such high viewing figures.
And Christ only knows what we did to deserve the shinners.

Darwin does not preclude theism, unless you’re in the loony Christian right.

It isn’t even worth being offended. Such idiocy as that expressed by Mr Mills isn’t even worthy of seriously debating. Anyone who genuinely believes such nonsense cannot be reasoned with anyway.

Perhaps someone should point out to this individual that the festival he spoke of (Southern Decadence) is held in the French Quarter, which, by the way, is where many of New Orleans’ gay citizens make their home. The French Quarter was untouched by Hurricane Katrina. It is back in business. The areas that were devastated were largely middle class and poor neighborhoods populated by families and the elderly, both black and white. If God was out to get New Orleans gays, looks like he would have wiped out the French Quarter, doesn’t it? Is Mr. Mills saying God took a swipe and missed? Perhaps someone should tell Mr. Mills that while Cafe Lafitte in Exile, the oldest gay bar in the US, continues to stand untouched in the French Quarter, every church in the flood ravaged neighborhood of Lakeview has been destroyed. How is this evidence of God’s vengeance on gays??? The truth is there is absolutely no evidence to support the outrageous opinion expressed by Mr. Mills. As a New Orleans flood victim, I am thoroughly offended.

Or maybe, God sent ‘Them Gays’ to punish the DUP for their wickeness?

Makes you wonder tho. If the BNP had made similair claims we would have just said that is typical for them but its the DUP….

If such people go to Heaven, it’d make you think twice about whether you’d want to!

For God so loved us all (including minorities under Section 75), that he gave his only begotten son…

Sodomites are damned to the eternal fires of hell. So are people who eat shrimp and prawns, according to the Old Testament

We don’t have hurricanes. So God is telling gays to come over here and kiss those sad DUP guys all over.

Something tells me if the Big Dude can just say “let there be light”…and there is, he’s probably in command of more subtle ways to punish the human race for homosexuality than hurricanes. I imagine He could have all gay people drop dead at the snap of his fingers if He so desired.

But it’s still nice to know that American loons don’t have the market on this kind of thinking cornered.

‘Which is why you can be a devout Christian and believe in evolution’

Tsk, supermarket Christians. You’re not going to tell me that the Old Testament isn’t the literal truth!

Darwin has absolutely nothing to say about the origin of the universe, Conor. Evolution is all about what happened after life began, not about the origin of life itself.

Which is why you can be a devout Christian and believe in evolution (unless you’re on a Kansas schoolboard apparently).
