Hell&related Stuff

Seen earlier today in St Denys, Southampton when I was returning from the garden centre.

It could of course be such a rarity for this company to have a sale that they wished to make sure everyone notices it.

Dennypoos................a damned fine horticulturalist as well.

Early morning listening to Radio Four has irked me yet again with the Roman Catholic church and to be honest, with all major religions.

The situation is that today the House of Commons starts to debate the controvertial 'Human embryology and genetic modification' bill. Bearing in mind the ramifications of what this is and where it could lead a full, comprehensive, debate is the minimum we should expect.

The Roman Catholic Church however, with a knee-jerk reaction worthy of the Daily Mail and its current bete noir,immigrants, has come out vehemently against this. I shouldn't really be suprised as they are against the use of condoms, which have a value in a Africa way above their initial use in the prevention af Aids.

The Church give the reason for this stance as being that this research is 'an affront to human dignity'. This research is at the moment primarily concerned with finding 'cures' for many degenerative diseases.

I put it to you that those unfortunate people with these diseases are surely suffering a real affront to their dignity. We could ask Stephen Hawking if having to be spoon fed and having someone wipe his arse maintains his human dignity and I think I know what his answer would be. My understanding is that embryos, of the type to be used in research have far less a sense of human dignity than some guy with a degenerative motor neurone disease.

The Roman Catholic Church should stick to what it knows best, that appparently being 'Kiddie Fiddling'

Dennypoos..................contention with a concience.
