“Religion has convinced people that there's an invisible man ... living in the sky. Who watches everything you do every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things he doesn't want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer, and suffer, and burn, and scream, until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you. He loves you and he needs money.”
― George Carlin
To me anyone that buys the "Immaculate Conception" story, is dafter n me n that does take some achieving.
You are in good company , Cashman .
Saint Thomas Aquinas , regarded by many as the greatest of all Christian theologians and philosophers ,and within the Catholic Church one of the small number to be classed as a Doctor , Teacher of the Church , did not believe in the teaching of the Immaculate Conception
He did , however , believe in the teaching of the Virgin Birth of Jesus , which is a different matter altogether .

What makes me smile more than anything is this thing that Muslim martyrs believe, that killing themselves in the name of Allah, the reward is 72 virgins and Rivers of honey, that should tell any would be candidates its a bit of a misnomer especially the 72 virgins bit
Cue MargaretR and her David Icke book of famous lizard people
Using 'David Icke' as a means to ridicule is a bit outdated.
Even Wogan has apologised
Some of his views may appear extreme to some, but who are you to say that all he says is ridiculous. He was the only one who openly outed Savile years ago, which was 'incredible' then.
More people are realising that much of what he says has worth, or he wouldn't be able to fill Wembley area like he did last autumn.

Was just a bit of gentle fun...but since you opened the can..
Wogan (who himself is a lightweight 'luvvie' interviewer and really should be taken with a pinch of salt), apologised for publicly taking the mick, not for disbelieving him.
Hitler filled halls and stadia, so did Take That, the Spice Girls and Justin Bieber are you seriously trying to argue that because someone can fill a stadium it means they have something worthwhile to say?
He's charismatic and knows how to work an audience..this does not mean that he has anything worthwhile to say, it just means that he knows how to get applause and the occasional cheer...then again so can an average comedian at a dingy working mens club on a saturday night.
Who am I to say....I'm a free thinker who uses logic and rationality, as opposed to the muppets and sheep who blindly hang on to his every word...which is kinda ironic since he himself claims anyone who doesn't agree with him are sheep following the populist ideals.

Yeh would be behind me, i can push in if necessary.
I can only assume that gents who prefer virgins are the ones whose technique is so abysmal that they do not want to be compared unfavourably with others who 'came' (sorry - pun ) before them.
There is a trend amongst younger men to prefer older women (cougars) who can teach them the ropes.

There are a lot of naïve people in and around the conspiracy theory brigade, but ha ho, so long as they keep there thoughts and ideas within the law, stops um getting bored I suppose
