GET ALL YOUR DUCKS IN A ROW

( Phrase used by UK Hunting and Shooting fraternity in the UK . It means "get organized for a successful & productive shoot" )

Yesterdays Theater of a Coronation was a chance for The C,.o.E. to show off all the symbols and devices among their armory to keep us serfs well under the Christian Umbrella. It could not fail to be impressive even though it may be a SWAN song,

Coincidentally the BBC Sunday morning church news program reported a DUCK story to do with a Christian Christening in a UK Church . A progressive mother who wanted her infant to be entranced by the ceremony (by agreement with the vicar ) at the appropriate moment slipped a plastic bath duck into the font.
This story now pervades the UK press with various replies of Sanctity and lack of Reverence and still no thoughts about grabbing the attention of the poor principle actor in their ' play '
A reporter asked for other examples of irreverence. "We had a funeral once where instead of chucking soil into the open grave, we chucked sawdust , because Jesus was a carpenter" . Is nothing SACRED! My answer no

In cases where it is done for a legitimate reason, Christians really support burning the cross.

People love their ceremonies, but they're not very enthusiastic about analyzing their feeble philosophical underpinnings.

@Mcfluwster I can't see anything pertaining to TM. He blocked me a while back.

@Mcfluwster Tom blocks many people. It's best to address multiple people.

@Tejas I agree! In 5 years I have only blocked on person, and then only because he exhibited signs of mental illness: a steady stream of baseless and illogical ad hominem attacks, directed at not only me but also an apparently random assortment of other members.

@Flyingsaucesir I have yet to block anyone, people usually get sick of me before I get sick of them. Is the person you're referring to a senile old Aussie? Or maybe an unhinged fellow with yellow teeth that posts nude pictures? I forget both of their names but I remember them well. Good times.....

@Tejas If I recall correctly, he went by the handle "Triphid."

@Flyingsaucesir yeah he's one of them

C of E - An inoculation against religion.

Yeah, at least the UK isn't overrun with bat-shit crazy fundamentalist Christians.

Which Nordic countries also have an official state religion? Is it Norway and Finland? And they're not extremist either.
