Seems as if the ''Emerald Isles'' have taken their love of the colour green a step to far into the religious colour green so beloved by Muslims.

Below a copy of my comment in The Independent.The same comment is on R T a well.

As a matter of legal interest are the prosecuting counsel in Ireland if the issue is called to court going to be able to summon ''God'' as their main prosecution witness?

Somehow I think that action of ''God'' appearing in the witness box is about as likely as the establishment and success of a Jewish butcher opening a pork butchers shop at Mecca.

The delusional dreams of those who believe in mythical sky wizards is indeed far removed from sanity.

Why not bring the kiddy fiddling priests to court?

That would be a worthwhile case to pursue

Probably worthwhile quoting what Fry actually said:

"Why should I respect a capricious, mean-minded, stupid god who creates a world that is so full of injustice and pain?

"We have to spend our life on our knees thanking him? What kind of god would do that?

"The god who created this universe, if it was created by god, is quite clearly a maniac, an utter maniac, totally selfish."

Absolutely nothing to disagree with there.

Of course, it's not the only example of the ludicrous sensitivities of the mentally challenged. Stephen Colbert is currently under investigation by America's FCC for his comments on Trump:

"Sir, you attract more skinheads than free Rogaine. You have more people marching against you than cancer. You talk like a sign language gorilla that got hit in the head. In fact, the only thing your mouth is good for is being Vladimir Putin’s cock holster."

So, narrow-minded religious bigots and Republicans don't seem to get that they don't have a right not to be offended, however ludicrous the things they revere. And the authorities back them up in their non-existent right not to be offended. (Sorry for so many negatives.)

Funny thing, but a lot of people go through life claiming to be an atheist but when they are put in a life threatening situation they look up and scream -
"God ! Help me !"....................... People are strange animals !

That morning I woke up in the ICU paralyzed from the waist down and was told I had cancer I looked up at the ceiling and thought -
" There is absolutely nobody up there that is going to help you out of this effed up situation. And if there was someone up there, why would they help me now, if they were the one who got me into this in the first place ?
You have only yourself to rely on to get out of this shitfight, " which is what I did.

Told the Chaplain - "No offence mate, but I don't need your help"

Watched a trashy BBC 3 documentary last night entitled "Does God Hate Queers?". Putting aside the obvious, that God doesn't exist, examples were provided of how God's representatives here on earth treat LGBTQ people. There was a young gay Jehovah's Witness who was excommunicated and forbidden from even text messaging his family ever again. There was a Moslem woman who was afraid to admit to her family that she was lesbian for fear of the consequences, so was looking online for a suitable gay Moslem to enter into a sham marriage. The overwhelmingly obvious conclusion was that religion almost universally institutes hatred against gay and lesbian people. However, the presenter (gay himself, and the victim of the Roman Catholic church's attitude to homosexuality) idiotically concluded that no, god doesn't hate queers. Moron. Typical BBC political correctness, ignoring the obvious fact that religion is a cause of great harm in society.

Of course there is a Santa Clause, and a Tooth Fairy, we had proof all through our chilhood of that.

Now God is a different story....
