Night out & mad religion

Not looking forward to tomorrow morning if I am honest! Why not? It's the first game of the season for Jack's team, surely you should be excited I hear you ask. Well, it's the night before that's the problem!


We're all out on the town tonight for Wayne's birthday and I think there will be over 20 of us old-timers scaring the young girls of Oxford. Starting at 5.30pm for cocktails is going to make it a very long night indeed so probable hangover tomorrow morning!


9/11 anniversary is tomorrow and there is a pastor in the States who was planning to burn copies of the Koran to demonstrate his hatred of Islam. Unsurprisingly the followers of the Islam faith are not amused and are demonstrating and planning attacks on anyone remotely 'American'. I was reading this and thinking what a fucked up world we live in, is it really necessary to have a pissing contest as to who's God is best? It's always been that way and it winds me up so much. Funnily enough though I was reading this and said to myself, "Thank God I am an Atheist!", and then laughed out loud when realising the contradiction. I know, little thinks please little minds but it did amuse me. Sadly a quick Google search confirmed I wasn't a comic genius as that phrase has been used time and time before...


Anyway the pastor how bowed to pressure from all over the world and cancelled his planned book burning, but it  shows that some nut with a congregation of only 50 can cause some panic and hatred so easily.


Not a pleasant thought!
