Aeroplane
Got on a plane for a long-haul flight. Middle seat on a 747. Aaaargh.

Got settled in, just ready for twelve hours of vegetative contemplation, when chap next to me leans over and says:

"Tell me, do you ever read The Bible?"

HAve a clicky
I would have enjoyed that. I could have reduced him to a blubbering wreck taking his religeon to pieces. Much more entertaining than the shite in flight movies they show.

I had a flatmate once who was a classicist, studying Philo, a Graeco-Jewish philosopher who was important in early Christianity. R, my friend, was fluent in Greek and Latin, and spoke some Biblical Hebrew as well. Whenever a god-botherer knocked on the door, R would invite them in, sit them down, and discuss the mistranslations and misunderstandings that have crept into the Bible over the centuries.

He wouldn't let them leave.

It was a joy to behold.

When I was a mini Fuckarma I attended a catholic school and some bright sparks decided to call us the usual name for someone who forces religious views on others.
SO on one of out walls was written:
Bibble Bashers...

Excellent. I usually just do the spiel on how its full of contradictions concerning how it claims to be all about loving thy neighbour and yet has one of the bloodiest histories in the history of religeons (including the one they had in Carthage I forget the name of where they sacrificed children to Baal). True, that was the proponants of christianity doing this and not the bible saying "go out and force this on people" but the point remains that no where does the bible even hint that everyone should believe it.

I have done a spot of bible bashing in my time. It was the biggest, heaviest book that came to hand when someone needed a clout on the head or a fly needed squashing and their wasn't a magazine to be had. I'll get me coat...
