    There was a programme called "Dave Allen:God's Own Comedian" on BBC2 last Monday and now available on iPlayer. Well worth viewing!

    PS When Rowan Atkinson was campaigning against the new law he was ridiculed for being paranoid and neurotic over the issue. "This law won't be used to prevent the lampooning of religion", they said. How right he was, and how ironic that it should be HE who was the target of all the precious religiots, who cannot have their " deeply held beliefs" held up to scrutiny!

    I'm utterly amazed. One of the wittiest, most intelligent and most original comedians that we have ever seen on TV, and the BBC are ashamed of him? We're going backwards!

    I totally agree with you. I think you sent this to the wrong person.

    Three questions:

    (i) Provide one single piece of unarguable evidence for any of the 3000 deities worshipped regularly here on Earh in any gven day.

    (ii) Name one good deed, credited by one or other religion, that could not have also, equally, been done by a non-believer.

    (iii) List all the many bad deeds (rape, slavery, genocide, racism, etc) that have not been commoitted by christian believers in the name of their religion and supported by biblical quotes, (we can help you with this)

    Sadly (n.b. I work for the BBC) the 'Religious Moaners' (in the aftermath of Rowan Atkinson's 'Archey' skit) have succeeded in getting the spineless, jobsworth, sh*ts in charge (i.e. the dysfunctional types who *ahem* 'worked with' Savile to *ahem* 'stop' him in his heyday) to remove such 'free-speaking-anti-religious' TV from iPlayer!! n.b. An idiot could see that 99.9% of the complaints had 'cut n pasted' the same 'legal' quotes from the The Racial and Religious Hatred Act 2006. UK = Weak!

    Too many things concerning Christ's personal interactions with apostles match up for me to dismiss it on grounds of deviation.

    I did acknowledge a few decades of time passing would effect their recall, hence some minor details like days, names, exact chronology etc.

    Ideally we'd have a similar example to compare it to to get a grasp of expected deviation.

    I also know of some research done into mythology development, 40 or so years is a blip on the scale in which myths fully come to fruition.

    The point is: what confidence can you have in accounts that are full of errors and contradictions? Did ANY of it actually take place?

    You know what to put in front of this web address:
