May one enquire what gives you the right to decide what I should tell people? You're overstepping your remit here by quite a margin.

Plus, if I go to this place in Colindale and there's no booze, I will twist your little jew cock off and ram it up your saggy old arsepart. And the Lord will look kindly upon my work.

You can't use the term 'white-vanned' in this day and age reds :judge:

True believers see agnostics as atheists trying to hedge their bets.

I think you have to pick a side. God is more likely to spare you if She sees the courage of your convictions. :nod:

Yes, but true believers are mental, surely?

I believe you will find that the correct pronoun for God is xe, given that xe is genderfluid :nod:

You can't go around saying you're undecided about the idea that there's a flying spaghetti monster and then get all huffy when people occasionally step in and tell you to stop being a spastic.

I didn't see any booze, but I did have a delightful chilled passion fruit bubble tea. Could that work for you guys?

Right. Those terms are especially meaningless anyway, if you want to be modern, liberal and secular.

I may share a (theoretical) commitment to secularism with liberals, but unlike liberals I can see the downsides.

That'll be fine if we remember to take a hipflask of mescaline.

No booze, for Christ's sake. How can you eat a meal without wine? It's barbaric.

There's an all-singing all-dancing restaurant on the ground floor which I am sure serves wine. Just buy a bottle from there and take it up to the food court.

Go with an appetite and get the funky sounding dishes first. I made the fatal mistake of ordering the pigs intestines in ejaculate soup at the very end, and was rather uncomfortably close to vomiting :-(

Shame Gandhi and Einstein aren't around so that Charles could explain to them how stupid they are as well, eh?

Nothing suggests to me that someone is intellectually limited more than the assumption that there is no limit to the capabilities of man's intellect. That's you that is, Monty.
