There is a late late show appearance with Tubs in that girls future.
Wet and cloudy today.
I’m going to protest.
More gay sex references from you. Wonder why gay sex is always the first thing you think about. It’s a mystery…
He explained on another thread, he saw a queer once when he was a kid and it was very traumatising for him.
Strange alright
The stunt seems to be backfiring terribly. Even Ryan Tubridy is very concerned about the mental well-being of that girl.

Climate justice campaign has become a pagan cult
Maria Steen
If, as Edmund Burke said, man is by his constitution a religious animal, it stands to reason that even if he should cast off true religion, the religious sensibilities remain. The need to believe, to be part of a community, to revere moral rectitude, to condemn offences against the moral code: these persist. In the past few weeks, these features have been evident in the “climate justice” movement. Despite describing itself as based on science, it is increasingly evident that it has become a cult – a pagan cult at that.
What are some of the hallmarks of paganism? Obvious examples include nature worship, ritual sacrifices and doomsday prophecies, all of which are present in the climate justice cult.
Christianity has always maintained that mankind, as steward of creation, has a responsibility to care for our common home. It is an obligation that is imposed not for the sake of the world itself, but to give glory to its creator and because of the many benefits it confers on us. By contrast, the climate justice cult worships nature. It values the Earth and nature as ends in themselves, subjugating human beings and treating humanity as a problem to be solved for the good of the planet.
Which brings us to the second characteristic: ritual sacrifice. In its less extreme form, this involves quasi-religious practices such as abstaining from meat to demonstrate moral purity and in the hope of satisfying the gods. We have also heard from groups of women on “birthstrike”, who have committed not to bear children – for the sake of the planet. These vestal virgins will ensure there will be no pitter- patter of carbon footprints on the face of the Earth. We have reached a stage where the young are encouraged to believe it is shameful to bring new life into the world.
Human sacrifice
One of the US Democrat party presidential hopefuls, Bernie Sanders, has even proposed abortion as a solution to the problem caused by poor women having babies. In answer to a question concerning how population growth should be addressed as a major contributor to “climate catastrophe”, he immediately cited the ready availability of abortion in the US as a model for the rest of the world.
This is nothing short of human sacrifice to appease the sun-god. It is the morality of Thanos. In the Marvel cinematic universe, Thanos is the villain whose response to overstretched resources is simply to annihilate half the population.
As for the prophecies, we cannot escape the lurid warnings of imminent destruction. Every report is laden with dark omens, calculated to induce terror. Unless we repent and change, we are doomed.
This world view is the direct opposite of the Judaeo-Christian tradition. By contrast with the climate justice cult, which values the planet above all else, the Judaeo-Christian tradition puts the ultimate value on the human soul. In the words of Archbishop Fulton Sheen, every individual is worth more than the entire universe. The world and all its beauty is there for the use and enjoyment of human beings. The world will end one day – although, contrary to media reports, it is unlikely to be any time soon. The human soul, however, lives forever. The universe is God’s gift to mankind. It deserves to be looked after as the common home of the human race. But the climate cult’s propensity to elevate the care of natural resources above the lives of human beings is a subversion of true morality.
Which is why it is so disappointing to see the Catholic Bishops’ Council for Justice and Peace, the men entrusted to carry the torch lit by St Patrick – in defiance of the pagan druids – jumping on board the solar-powered climate justice bandwagon. In a press release, they say they stand with those on the global climate strike. Another release from the Catholic Communications Office to mark the “Season of Creation”, states that, unless we listen to David Attenborough, much of the world will be uninhabitable in 100 years’ time.
Much of the world is – and always has been – uninhabitable and actually it is the ingenuity of man that has allowed human beings to live in areas that otherwise would be completely unsuitable. It is almost as if humans – even non-believers – were obeying God’s command to fill the Earth and subdue it.
Nonetheless, the same press release tells us that “Incorrect recycling needs to be corrected, what goes where and into which bin.” While I have recycled for many years and support such initiatives, I was of the view that I was answerable to the local council rather than to the episcopate. Is recycling to be added to the litany of sins to be confessed by Catholics?
Here is the thing: if you have to add another word before “justice”, you are no longer talking about justice.
In the climate cult, in contrast to the Christian beatitudes, it is the rich who shall inherit the Earth, living in their A-rated houses and driving their electric cars. The poor in developing countries – who often suffer from unreliable electricity supplies and whose hospitals may have to rely on even less reliable back-up generators – will be told “Too bad – no coal or oil-powered electricity for you.” Never mind that the ventilator might run out of power mid-surgery. Better a human life be lost than risk offending the climate gods.
Serious question:
Why is it that right-wing Catholics and evangelicals pretty much all seem to be climate crisis deniers?
Can anybody explain why that is the case - what is their rationale?
The above article obviously being a classic example
I’d be really interested to know what people’s thoughts are - hopefully without soundbites/soundbytes

If you believe in the evidence free nonsense that is Christianity, then it’s no distance at all to believing any other nonsense.
Provocative.
How many human lives would it be worth to prevent the extinction of, say, polar bears? I don’t have any answer to that.
There’s an episode of Star Trek Next Generation where Picard is about to sacrifice himself to prevent the extinction of a bizarre alien life-form but Riker saves him at the last moment.
What’s she’s getting at is basically the big conundrum and uncertainty at the heart of European thought since the end of WW2, which is, what is the real value of human life? What is the real value of our civilisation in a strictly natural world?
(Before Sid attacks me, obviously Maria Stein is a cunt)
You give her way, way, way too much credit, mate
There is no factual, logical, spiritual or philosophical underpinnings to her writing at all
The entire article is just name calling and straw manning
I don’t think she got the irony that she called her own Pope “a cultist”
If its good enough for niamh horan, who are we to argue?
