How many Muslims do you know, JaSin? Any at all? No, I didn't think so. If you did, you'd realise that they are normal people who just believe in a different God to you. Tsk, tsk, tsk...
As a muslim Brian do you think that catholics and christians are just the same as you?.
Are the Catholics and Protestant Irish the same? Bbwian is an Irish Catholic.
I am if anything an ex-Catholic, Soren. I am not an Irish person but something you are only by adoption - an Australian. I have some Irish ancestry but that is long ago. I do not preach Catholicism. I am not a Protestant. I am an
Australian atheist and quite proud of it. I do not rely on imaginary Gods for anything. Unlike you with your Lutheran sense of right and wrong. Tsk, tsk, tsk...
How does a "proud" atheist get a Doktor of Divinity degree to boast about (other than by mail order, $19.95 + p.p.)?
Here's a headline that sums you up, Bbwiyawn.
The road to Hell is paved with arse-covering cowardice
Between 2006 to 2008, senior management within the Council were concerned that allegations about Asian male involvement with CSE in Wellington had the potential to start a “race riot” …
But what else does one find? One finds the fear of “complaints of racism” and of being “politically incorrect”. That doesn’t sound noble to me — it sounds cowardly and self-centred. Indeed, it makes it sound like the concern with public order had less to do with virtuous ideals than with protecting their careers and their institutions. There is a difference between being concerned with peace for its own sake and being concerned with peace because your arse is on the line if there turns out to be violence.
Yet the failure to stop the rapes had many causes — and they don’t get any nobler. In the Jay Report into the grooming gangs in Rotherham, for example, we hear appalling details about the classism and misogyny of police officials. According to one witness, the attitude of some police officers was that the victims were “undesirables” who could not be trusted. “Police weren’t arsed with us, really,” said one victim who was key to the belated investigations in Rochdale, “They don’t give a bugger when you’re not from a wealthy background.”
Then there is the whiff of outright corruption — the laptops and documents that were stolen in Rotherham, with, in the latter case, “no signs of a forced entry to the key-coded and locked security doors”. Whatever went missing, one doubts that it was evidence of a sincere concern for the public good.
Again, the desire to explain a sin is not the same as the desire to excuse it. I am not suggesting that Messrs Holland and Hilton are anything but appalled by the failure to stop the rapists. But it is a mistake to ennoble that failure. That failure was not just tragic but actively wicked and it is important to appreciate that if appropriate accountability is going to be achieved.
The road to Hell is not always paved with good intentions. Some of its paving stones are also
cowardice, venality and spite.https://thecritic.co.uk/the-road-to-hell-is-paved-with-arse-covering-cowardice/That is you: arse- covering cowardice, vanity and spite. And there are, evidently, millions of you, in Britain, here and across the West.
