Big turnout at the Protest the Pope rally in London Saturday. That’s heartening.
Meanwhile, you can see Professor Richard Dawkins’s speech on the vid we’ve embedded below. Enjoy!
gay and lesbian matters, rationalism, atheism, freethought, secularism — this is the weblog of the Pink Triangle Trust, the only gay humanist charity

We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.
We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.
Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.
Comments should not be construed as necessarily the policy or opinion of the Pink Triangle Trust.

Dawkins is as usual quite correct
ReplyDeleteThe pap has openly lied, as is his job. Unfortunately for him, he has lied to a crowd of people that on the whole should be better educated than most of his victims.
Poverty and Ignorance are both allies and tools of Religions and as so will promoted by them.
Now education and literacy are no longer squandered purely for catholic propaganda, that, even with the obvious extreme bias shown by the popular media,the mere fact he has lied about documented and provable historical facts will for him prove counter productive.
For centuries the catholic hierarchy has told mis-truths about their actions, constantly re-evaluating their lies with things like purgatory and the supposed whoredom of Mary Magdalene and people just accepted it.Yet after centuries of manipulation the masses are finally opening their eyes and seeing the truth and will hopefully wake a few more people to the fact he is undoubtedly on a mission of mis-truths, and that has been the subtext of the church since it's inception.
