God is watching you
I have a new piece for my collection of curious electoral propaganda flyers (This Is Your Last Chance To Get Rid of VAT; If You’re Doing It For The First Time, Vote Labour) – a flyer stuffed into our letterbox:
KRISTU IVA
DIVORZJU LE
with quotations from the Bible and the face of Christ as a Finnish 1970s hippy student.
“Peace, man. Where’s the party?”
It’s strange how people who would pass out at the very thought of hippy libertinism always like their Jesus depicted as a Nordic Woodstock escapee.
I’m guessing that a short, stocky man with a swarthy complexion, Ed Miliband eyes, long nose and black wire-wool hair, who looks like he hangs out every evening at the Friend To All in Hal Muxi is just not going to cut it in the romance stakes, and certainly not when so many of the religious right are racist.

Billi nwaqqghu ghac-cajt lill-Mulej Gesu’ m’ahniex ha nkattru l-voti tal-Iva.
Daphne, please: accetta t-telfa li gejja nhar is-Sibt u oqghod bi kwietek ghax kollu ghalxejn tiggranfa m’hawn u m’hemm.
Carmel,
Describing the ethnicity of Jesus is only offensive to racists and to people who have grown up praying to paintings and statues rather than to God.
Also, No-voters are describing this sensational victory over evil and the Yes-voters all over the internet where from a bystander’s point of view it looks more like a Man United fan shrieking at a match against Liverpool.
Carm, the No-vote victory is not perpetual. It’s a time bomb.
Tkellem il-Profeta l-kbir Carmel Scicluna!
Nahseb iwaqqghu ghac-cajt min jivvinta dehriet u jwaqqa ghac-cajt bil-Madonna billi jipprezentaha bhala bniedma illitterata.
Ahjar qabel ma tivvintaw x’suppost qalet il-Madonna, tqabbdu lil xi hadd jiccekkja l-Ingliz.
Classic….Typical Daphne.
Robert Powell has become the de rigeur Christ and screw the racial profile!
Jesus didn’t look anything like Robert Powell. Scientists have determined that he looked like that Caveziel fellow. I know this through my mate Spadger whose house overlooks Bord in-Nadur.
This stuff only works on those who were indoctrinated from birth.
As an atheist, it only makes me sad for all concerned.
And the way it’s bundled with all the other offers.
An atheist should not indulge in religious debates.
We would love to not have to believe me. The only problem is that the believers want everyone else to believe. On the other hand, most non-believers just want to be left alone.
We’ll stop challenging you on your beliefs when you stop making stuff up and expecting respect for it.
Why not?
If so, a believer should not indulge in non-religious debates. Thank you
Did you ever come across this?
” My father was an atheist, I was brought up and lived my whole life as an atheist, and God willing I will die an atheist”
Daphne, you were not far off in your description. See this…

[Daphne – Mhux ovvja? He was 100% Syro-Palestinian. He would have been indistinguishable from a typical Maltese.]
That Clyde Attard of Kristu Iva Divorzju Le is quite something.
But at least he presents himself for what he is. What you see is what you get, take it or leave it. He’s a one-trick pony bible-basher. But those on the Le side who insist they are secular, like Bernard Grech, seem to me to be sly and slippery customers who are hiding their real agenda.
I may be wrong, but give me a Clyde Attard any day instead of the others.
Well.. it’s hard to sell “Jesus loves you” bumper stickers, if the man loving you is a “short, stocky man with a swarthy complexion, Ed Miliband eyes, long nose and black wire-wool hair, who looks like he hangs out every evening at the Friend To All in Hal Muxi”.
If there is only one God, and this one God manifested himself or spoke to man, giving man the 10 commandments, the Torah, the Bible and the Quran, why did he give man conflicting messages about, amongst other things divorce?
If God is perfect and marriages are “put together” by God, then do not failed marriages show that God is not all that perfect and makes mistakes?
I am sure that there is a perfectly logical theological answer to each of these questions, and I wait with bated breath for an explanation that will make me see the light at the end of the tunnel and convince me to vote against divorce.

@ red nose and your comment – “An atheist should not indulge in religious debates” –
An atheist is by definition one who refutes the theistic view. A rejection of the theist’s belief in the existence of gods and all that comes with it.
Atheists exist because of theists and their religions.
How can they not indulge?
