No one, including you, was ever at the receiving end of insolence from me.

I only exposed your hypocritical pretence that you had any real interest in a defence of God and the state religion.

You reacted as anticipated by frustration, insults and disrespect towards the deity. That is how you demonstrate that you are incapable of civil discussion.

Touchy when on the receiving end of “shameless insolence” but big when on the transmitting end. What a shameless hypocrite.

Some insist that Elvis is still alive. Some insist that they believe in fairies. Some insist that they can speak to the dead. Some insist that they’ve been abducted by aliens. All these have one thing in common: their grasp on reality is – to put it mildly – confused. They need to be treated sensitively, and at times even referred to psychiatric treatment.

But having a relationship with a magical man in the sky and praying to him in all seriousness fully believing that those prayers will somehow sway this man to change his storybook for the entire universe just because the ones praying believe themselves to be special in this man’s eyes is to be treated with the utmost reverence and respect.

Wake up. There’s no proof whatsoever that any god exists. And there’s absolute, falsifiable, undeniable proof that prayers to your god or any other have absolutely no effect whatsoever other than making the people praying feel good about themselves for having the gift of being able to get in touch with the magical man in the sky and for being so altruistic in praying to get the magical man in the sky make the sane join in the insane orgy.

I do not need your “bene placito” as regards my relation to God and my prayers to him (including prayers for the conversion of sinners).

Let’s hope it’s only drink and nothing else.

“If people choose not to listen that does not prevent me from appealing for basic morality from PEPs.
…
I believe that it is never too late to promote moral values and genuine democracy by governments.”

We are all doing that, Dr Saliba, and we don’t see the need to support Delia’s PN to do exactly that. Are you saying that you’re not a PN supporter?

Please leave religion out of politics. It’s suffocating the discussion.

I would have the right to express my internal democratic dissent from any upstart new leader who would not remain faithful to the party’s traditional loyalty to the Republic’s official religion and to the nation as a whole.

That way I would be supporting the party but not the shenanigans of any par venu leader dropping out of the blue to split the party.

Jien nemmen li l-PN mahtuf minn klikka primarjament Laburista. Niddubita kemm bkew fl-ahhar elezzjoni. Jien ucuh kollha dahkana rajt, ibda mill-koppja Debono u spicca f’hafna ohrajn. Ftit ferm kienu dawk li genwinament iddispjacihom, ewlieni fosthom Dr Busuttil.

Evidentament tista’ tghid li f’Malta kwazi kulhadd ghandu prezz u prezz bid-discount. B’bicca microwave tixtrih Malti. Kaz klassiku ta’ nies mejtin bil-guh.
