Sadly the xbox left home with son before I had time to learn it.

Now we only have a wii - or dust collector under the TV to give it it's proper name.

Conservative loon says Bioshock Infinite has you shooting Christians and that's just like what the Nazis did with the Jews.

But you are baptised at the start of the game so it's christians shooting christians, par for the course really....

I don't know where the picture of the 'science' quiz is, but Snopes has done some investigating and, unlike most things that show up on my Facebook newsfeed, it's 'probably true'.

Marc Driscoll, evangalist , has been let out for a gallop again...

based on the bible passage:
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.


“If the wife disrespects the husband in front of his coworkers, will they respect the husband? No," Driscoll said. "No. Women who publicly disrespect their husbands, they encourage others to disrespect their husbands. And this doesn’t mean you don’t disagree with your husband but you do so respectfully, privately.”

"Being married to [nagging wives] is like a life sentence, and the guy’s just scratching on his wall every day," he told the congregation. “Proverbs talks about certain women—they’re like a dripping faucet. You ever tried to sleep with a dripping faucet? Plunk, plunk, plunk, plunk, plunk. It’s what we use to torture people who are prisoners of war."

Well at least he's not calling waterboarding "enhanced interrogation" for a change.

That line could have gone in a very different direction...

I'm sure many of those who have been waterboarded would pay to just have to listen to a dripping tap all night.

Good grief...
Well, the "where you there?" question is easy enough to dispell. Ask the kid how old his/her parents are, then ask if she was there when they were born.

If my child came home from school with erroneous information, then gave me that answer when I corrected them I would be straight down to that school, and the teacher who instructed them to give it would have a very bad day indeed.

I'm glad to see that the child won't be going back next year. Though you have to wonder exactly what they thought the child would be taught at a religious school.

Catholic Church pitches religion to young New Yorkers with new ad proclaiming Jesus was the 'Original Hipster'

It’s like the sequel to “Jesus Christ Superstar.”

The Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn is spending $60,000 on a new ad campaign billing the Son of God as “The Original Hipster” — an add that features Christ in a pair of red (and untied!) Converse sneakers poking out from under his robes.

The goal is a resurrection even niftier than Jesus’ original one: getting young urbanites to stop saying “P-eww” to the pews.

“Why is that an image of Jesus in Converse sneaks so shocking to us?” said Diocese spokesman Msgr. Kieran Harrington. “The Church is countercultural. ... The Church is accepting of all people.

In their efforts to grab the hipsters, they'll alienate the 99% of the population that aren't massive c*nts.

Fond memories of when, as part of his homework, son of mine was asked who succeeded Edward VI and was marked incorrect for saying Jane Grey...
Poor teacher and principle didn't expect to find an incensed historian who specialises in Early Modern outside their door first thing the next morning brandish a copy of Edward's Act of Succession.

Happy Days.....

The Church of Rome - alienating those who possess a c*nt since Paul so they have some experience in the area.

Oh don't worry, sure the husbands still love them as long as the wives are obedient. :rolleyes:

I got in so much trouble for that one. My teacher did NOT take being corrected by a 10 year old well and when I brought in my book the next day to show her the chapter on Jane, she refused to look at it citing that my fingernails were too dirty.

The principle's defense was ' that would only confuse them'? I laughed into his face. Doing the Tudors and the thing that will confuse them is Jane Grey.... *snort*

I did ask if when the taught WWI would it be just GB vs Germany as all of that Serbia, Balkans, Russian Revolution, Austro-Hungarian Empire stuff is soooooo confusing....

That was after their opening 'you don't know what you are talking about....'

if I get Alzheimers hope I retain that memory *sigh*
