@MidoBytez@theweeflea@georgegalloway When did he last play for Egypt? About thirty years ago I think. A lot has changed politically since then and previous manager Shehata openly said you had to be a Muslim to play for Egypt placing piety on par with performance.
@theweeflea So you're not buying his defence that he thought it was an image of as a doctor and supporting the red cross?
Barnard Castle level defence...
@FraserNelson@theweeflea That was the free Presbyterians who were always narrower than the free church (hence why one of the instigators of the split in the 90s joined them over the continuing).
@theweeflea@GavCalver@biblesociety I did hear them going up against voak on Justin Brierly's podcast and did seem appropriately cautious with the data (obviously YouGov have messed up on this one).
As to silencing, in what way (and who?)
@meta_enix@DrewPavlou Unless things have changed, I never had to show ID for the 20 years I voted there. You just had to either have the poll card (that was posted to your house) or give your name and address. Also Irish citizens living in the UK are also allowed to vote.
So I think you may be wrong
@johnpauldickson@Tessaratt I noted that stupid idea has had an exceedingly long life.
It apparently raised to prominence with Zeitgeist in the latter 00s, then was recycled in Bill Maher's religious "doco" and I noted it in the film Heretic recently.
@JoshuaPenduck Which in turn is probably going to damage the cofe churches that are not is the liberal variety (if they even advertise themselves as anglican). In Sydney, you'd be forgiven for knowing that any anglican church is anglican at all...

The accusation of moral cowardice came from yourself which I didn't actually think though I'm was unaware of the financial situation.
More misinformation. Trump was found 'liable' for 'sexual assault'. He was not found guilty. This was a civil case with lower standards of proof, not a criminal. When you call him a rapist you are speculating. I couldn't say that he was a rapist or not. And neither can you. If Trump had been found guilty of rape in a criminal case he would be in jail.
@douglasmclellan@BremenBod@theweeflea@AdrianRamsay I wonder if some evangelical posturing has been inherited in reaponse to the new atheism era when the rhetoric was very aggressive (faith is a mental illness/child abuse, pz Myers crucifying a communion wafer) and generated notoriety. Atheism moved on, they should too...
@theweeflea@douglasmclellan@AdrianRamsay Sorry I wasn't aware you were at all financially dependent on donors but thanks for clarifying things. (I don't get how that makes you not beholden to anyone if it costs you each time you talk against X or Y tho')
@theweeflea@douglasmclellan@AdrianRamsay I guess what I'm trying to get is why you seem to claim this balanced ground but then seem to have zero balance. It's a fair question to ask of you as an evangelical voice with some influence
@theweeflea@douglasmclellan@AdrianRamsay Example - you argued Trump and kamala were as bad as each other (debatable but sure, let's run with it) but you then probably posted 100:1 against her compared to Trump. Part of me wonders if you were trying to keep your US followers onside. Is that really nitpicking?
