I mean, he had two Dads, and hung around with 12 guys.
Ha ha ha.
Who's the genius that thought this up?
And I think that God (the Father, at least) didn't have that much of an issue with the death penalty, and Jesus (after a little of whinging, maybe) accepted the concept!
So all this does is prove that the British people aren't that well educated!

Reckless likely to lose Rochester next May, say bookies. http://ow.ly/EViA5
Send the buggers straight to hell.
(I was thinking of something about Mohammed and non-death penalties)
Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment,
The old testament/tanakh has a good long list of actions punishable by death too:

If you had spent the night travelling through Judea on a rail replacement donkey service, you too would support re-nationalisation.
Polling jumps the shark?
What intrigued me was the other images at the bottom, and in particular the one of the woman with a sign saying "Hands off our future. Free education now"
That's a very clear statement of greed: I want my future to be paid for by someone else. I'm not prepared to invest in education and personal skill development myself.

And thou shalt gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street thereof, and shalt burn with fire the city, and all the spoil thereof every whit, for the LORD thy God: and it shall be an heap for ever; it shall not be built again.
Qu'ran 5:33

Lol no wonder the Middle East is in trouble with those nutjob verses being the foundations of two of the big religions there.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16
And healing the sick for free. Wonder what he would think of the NHS on that basis. How much art thou paying a GP???
Agreed
I did not say we don't need them only where the money comes from
This isn't that ground-breaking, because we see it here everyday. Righties accuse lefties of wanting to drag the country down into a Stalinist nightmare, while lefties accuse righties of wanting to see the poor forced to sell their spare kidney to pay for food and housing.
Jesus is good. I am not bad. Disagreeing with Jesus is bad. Therefore I must agree with Jesus. It follows that the opinions of Jesus will match my own. QED

For example, if Dave, Nick, Ed and Nigel were an animal, what kind of animal would they be/if they were a car, what kind of car would they be.
Also asked what kind of breed of dog they would be.
"There was a lot of talk about him and John the Baptist, I believe."
Not in the Bible. They only met once - on the banks of the Jordan. I think you might be confusing it with recent paperback fiction. Easy mistake to make if you're never read the Bible, though.
Unless, of course, you're making a point about their theological relationship.
Mohammed on Gay marriage. Difficult one to call...
What would Jesus ("In my Father's house are many mansions.") think of the Mansion Tax?
As quoted by Luke 10:7
Big John 14.31
This is why I speak to them in parables: "Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.
Dave: Cat. - Pretends to be affectionate when it wants something
Ed: Least Weasel*
Nick: Domesticated Mouse - bites randomly
Dave: Merc - reliable, but somehow unlovable. Heavy steering, drifts to the right
Ed: Landwind X7**
Nick: Peugeot Clio. Really, what is the point?
Dave: Labrador (yellow) - nice, well-meaning, but lazy and ineffectual;
Ed: Jack Russell - yappy and irritating, gets pushed around by the bigger dogs
Nick: Pomchi - they really exist, but no one knows what for***

On the assumption that the Golden Rule applies, then he'd be more in line with a LD/Guardian reader but without their superiority complex and their bed-wetting tendencies.
Your turn first.
(daft thread)
I think Jesus would take some time to get around to the nuanced points of who should run railways given he probably would need the best part of a year to get up to speed with this non- horse powered new fangled thing.
Dave is a Maserati (vastly overrated, but better than most of what is out there)
Nick Clegg was a BMW 1 Series (you had high hopes, but is not as good as you hoped, anyone who has ever been in a 1 series, will tell you, they are designed for midgets)
Ed Miliband was a SmartCar, you see them, and think why? WHY? WHY?
Nigel Farage was I think a Ford XR3i (which by the way something my dad drove in the 80s, a white one, replete with a white spoiler)
But Toshack bangs in the rebound
What will ye do when Christ comes to Liverpool.
Play St John at outside right, and Christ as centre forward.
Personally I cannot understand how some people on the right of politics can be christians, given some of their views.
(Apart from 'fuck the Judean Nationalist Party' obviously)
And that's just for starters.
See also the wonderfully homoerotic portraits of John by Caravaggio.
err you politely nod and then look to escape
There are Greens in the world there are Kippers
There are Labour and Tories, and then
There are those that follow Alex Salmond, but
I've never been one of them
I'm a Liberal Democrat
And have been since before I was born
And the one thing they say about LibDems is
They'll take you as soon as you're warm
You don't have to be a six-footer
You don't have to have a great brain
You don't have to have any clothes on you're
A LibDem the moment Paddy came
Because every vote is sacred
Every vote is great
If a vote is wasted
God gets quite irate
Every vote is sacred
Every vote is great
If a vote is wasted
God gets quite irate
Let the Greenies spoil theirs
On the dusty ground
God shall make them pay for
Each vote that can't be found
Every vote is wanted
Every vote is good
Every vote is needed
In your neighborhood
Labour, Tory, SNP
Spoil theirs just anywhere
But God loves those who treat their
Ballots with more care
Every vote is sacred
Every vote is great
If a vote is wasted
God gets quite irate
Every vote is sacred
Every vote is good
Every vote is needed
In your neighborhood
Every vote is useful
Every vote is fine
God needs everybody's
Mine and mine and mine
Let the Kippers spoil theirs
Over mountain, hill, and plain
God shall strike them down for
Each vote that's spoilt in vain
Every vote is sacred
Every vote is good
Every vote is needed
In your neighborhood
Every vote is sacred
Every vote is great
If a vote is wasted
God gets quite irate
John the Evangelist supposedly wrote the fourth gospel, probably written last and towards the end of the first century.
John the Baptist had been beheaded many years earlier - think Salome and the dancing. He was also a strict hermit and lived on honey and insects. Not one for socialising with anyone.
I just loaded up a list of US Senators...

I was looking for a list of UK MPs - with more details than just the name.
The parliament web site only seems to allow searching on its site (no download). Does anyone know of a list of open data like this?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/eu/11255493/UK-faces-34bn-bill-for-blackhole-in-EU-budget.html
"Auditors have identified a blackhole in European Union budgets that could lead to extra demands for cash from the British taxpayer of up to £34billion over the next six years.
David Cameron will be legally obliged to make up a share of a shortfall of £259billion by 2020 with liabilities for the Treasury estimated at £33.7bn, calculated at the usual rate of Britain’s EU contributions.
The hole in EU spending has been identified by the European Court of Auditor"
(Other than that it will probably soon require a visit from one Ed Miliband, for self inflicted wounds to his feet, naturally....)
Any yule fule know that Christmas Day is Crossword Day......
What?!?
Gulp!
Will my Post of the Year (your words not mine) not save me?!
I may have to pray.
And - voodoo dolls at the ready - the set of Game of Thrones.
"In a special report earlier this week, EU auditors identified the sum in outstanding bills for legally binding spending commitments made by the European Commission over the last four years.
“Assuming that commitments will not be de-committed, and we don’t see how most of them could, it might be problematic to get this money from member states to finance the expenditure foreseen,” Igor Ludborzs, an EU auditor, told the Euractiv website."
The EU remains rubbish, I see.
