Of course they don’t pass racist comments because they go to church. That’s what makes them hypocrites, as edgar called them.

And Lawerence Attard, you might not have heard any racist comments coming from atheists, but I have read racist comments from atheists on a few message boards. I say this as an anti-racist atheist.

It doesn’t help at all to bring religion into the racism debate. All it does is polarise people at the outset.

No, because they go to church. I have never heard any racist comments coming from atheists.

Dear ursula, my comment was never intended to insult fat people at all. Just invented a typical Maltese know all character. I am actually on the fat side too!

Fat people take up too much space. They are expensive, obnoxious and unsightly, and are dragging the country down.

If obesity is a race then I am a racist.

You too are racist to a certain extent, fat people are not ‘hamalli’ and do not stink and are not stupid either.

It all depends on the level of education and social background and mot about the physique of the person

However, it is really sick to insult someone because of his skin colour and race, even if he provoked others, which is not the case here.

They do not pass racist comments because they go to church, but in spite of it. I have never heard any racist comments from priests – quite the contrary.
