Good call. The auld scapegoat - a get out in the Biblical small print. :thumleft:

And Aaron shall place lots upon the two goats: one lot "For the Lord," and the other lot, "For Azazel (for absolute removal).

No mention in the bible of using Leinster players as animal sacrifices and burnt offerings, it is strictly, cattle, sheep, goats, turtledoves and pigeons.

However maybe the URSC summer barbeque could have an altar (it needs to be 5 cubits by 5 cubits and made from acacia wood) and symbolically serve Kearney burgers and Madigan wings.

A common theological misunderstanding, or misconception. if you don't mind the odd bad pun. Mary's shagging, as you put it, is covered by the doctrine of the Virgin birth. The doctrine of the Immaculate conception has nothing to do with the begetting of jesus, but rather covers the birth of Mary herself. As the future mother of God, you see, it was inconceivable - :cheers: - that she should be born, like other mere mortals, with the mark of original sin staining her soul. (Adam's fault, and hence the need for Christian weans to be baptised). She was, unique in the history of mankind, excused this shame and was therefore conceived immaculately.
As Baggy says, you have been helped.

Splendid stuff Prom, though in fairness to me, I usually try to make my "advice/help" somewhere vaguely bordering on believable.
NEVER MOVE ON. Years on, I cannot ever watch Ireland with anything but indifference, I continue to wish for the imminent death of Donal Spring, the FIRFUC's executioner of Wee Paddy & Wee Stu, and I hate the FIRFUCs with undiminished passion.

Baggy as a matter of Interest what is an old Hedonist like you reading the bible ? I thought you had found salvation in a bottle !!

Anyway my question/statement did you still love your wife? then do nothing, is based on the experiences of life that only those who want a divorce look for grounds for divorce in the actions of their partners . They do so for two reasons firstly to justify their own wish for a divorce and secondly to transfer the guilt of the failed marriage onto the other party.

I have known several women whose husbands walked out on their wives to live with the other woman it wasn't that the husband walked out that hurt them most but the fact that in the letter of departure they blamed their wives for the failure of the marriage .

Could you not just get her "stoned" in the Bob Dylan sense :cowboy:

My issue with the virgin birth was more to do with her husband Joseph not consummating his marriage. Could never work that one out.

Ironically, given the historic tension between pornography and religion, watching porn may make you more religious.

That’s according to a study published in the Journal of Sex Research, which suggests that those who watch porn more than once a week may ‘stimulate greater religiosity’.

Historically, religiosity was associated with low pornography use as almost all major religious disapprove of it.

Thanks to the upsurge in porn use, more and more research is being conducted into the area.

The research, which was done by a team at the University of Oklahoma, involved following the same 1,314 adults over six years, periodically measuring their porn use and religiosity.


After controlling for outside factors like age and gender, use of pornography was associated with low religiousness until the rate of consumption became more frequent than once a week.

‘Findings suggest that viewing pornography may lead to declines in some dimensions of religiosity but at more extreme levels may actually stimulate, or at least be conducive to, greater religiosity along other dimensions,’ said study author Samuel Perry.

In other words, if you watch porn more than once a week you’re likely to become more religious.

Perry suggests this might be because in some people exposure to pornography brings about guilty feelings, especially if they were religious to begin with, and this may drive them to turn to religion to try and overcome the behaviour or repent in some way.

OK Rum'n, here are your answers in order, though the information is already there:

- To know what the enemy are thinking.

- Yes I still love my wife, I have done since early July 1978 when I first clapped eyes upon her and had secured a contract with her by November of that year and then began saving seriously to buy & house and marry in February 1980. £18500 for a 3 bed chalet bungalow in Dunkeld Avenue in the Maiden City. I loved that house. :thumleft: That said, the issue is that I fear I may fall down in relation to "God's Law" >rtfm I have yet to be properly advised if I need to wheek her off to Israel for a stoning. She will smell a rat as I have often said I would never set foot in Israel - nor the rest of the Middle East forebye, (just for balance) and I may as well add that I have little interest in the Far East, could live without visiting the horrendously rude NZers & drunken racists in Oz, but I still enjoy the USA & have a wee hankering to visit South America.

By the way Rum'n, you have the wrong end of the stick, I used to be an inter-pro quality drinker :stout: but those days are past barring the occasional splurge. These days I am a man who drinks well within the approved levels (possibly before the most recent nonsense) for no other reason than, in general, I really just can't be bothered.

As for the rest of it Rum'n, it is of little interest as I will never require advice on divorce. We are and shall remain inseparable.......... and though I don't want to bore you with it :lol: , looking forward to our next large adventure, pissing off to Spain to live in just over a year.
