Faith is defined as: 
belief that is not based on proof. 
(Most) Christians believe the bible is proof of God/Jesus's existence. 
So it it a faith?

Just wonderings, not supposed to be offensive.

Some Twilight fans are stupid and some aren't. But then some people spend all day on
a site dedicated to hating a book that they claim isn't worth their time. 
They also seem pretty stupid.

Buzzcocks was so full of WIN this week.

Quote: "Katy perry also recorded the song UR So Gay. It sounds homophobic but of
course she's using the other fashionable version of the word meaning anything
generally bad, and anyone who think that sounds offensive should just Jew off and
stop being so bloody black about it"

Simon Amstell is bloody brilliant (:

Yeah, this is pretty accurate.

with no idea why

You watch 'Spotlight' (and know Teresa Driscoll, Justin Leigh, Russel Labey, Craig
Rich and the gang )

'Short and choppy on the North coast' makes total sense to you

You think nothing of grass growing in the middle of the road

Your town is 'the gem of south Devon' or 'the English Riviera' despite overwhelming
evidence to the contrary

Exeter

the places in there

You know that 'the Launa man can'

Your most thrilling childhood experience was the Death slide at Woodlands / Crealy /
The Devon Shire Horse Centre (HELL YEAH)

You don't yet have Freeview - what 5th channel?

You found out about Plymouth Hoe / Westward Ho! before you realised the name could
be entertaining

Your local shop sells clotted cream fudge and bucket/spade packs, but not
newspapers

Your local publican (who has sideburns and red face) is a member of CAMRA, and

John Simm.
Ok, so not that new.



He stole my heart in Life On Mars; he was brilliant in Doctor Who and now hes
lurking unnervingly in fireplaces on the Devils Whore. In a way which conveys his
brilliant acting skills of course (:

yay!

After reading this: Feminist networks are compiling the results of a month-long
project exploring why women feature so rarely in serious news stories - yet turn up
so regularly in naked pictures. They have gathered a huge pile of information from
newspapers and magazines, and some group members have also been carrying out a
subversive flyer campaign, going into newsagents and replacing the sexualised images
found on lads' magazine covers with a photograph of a man. To this they have added
the words, "Lads' mags present a one-dimensional view of sexuality". in the
Guardian my faith has been restored in intelligence of women (and some men :P ).
Even the most intelligent women I have spoken too seem to think that men's magazines
like FHM and Nuts are not sexist, which really shows you how deep the oppression of
women has gone. I won't go into it now but I'm just happy :D
