This seems somehow timely, given the Chris Grayling furore and it being Easter and all that. Watch, enjoy and memorise for future reference.

Labour Candidate for Bristol East
Trolls have decamped to Twitter...
Kerry McCarthy
Labour Candidate for Bristol East
A Future Fair for All
My blog = my rules!
As Monica says in Friends, "rules are good, rules help control the fun!"
First: if you're after a detailed response, please email or write to me. If you're a constituent (or perhaps a very special case), I'll respond; if you're not, you'll have to contact your own MP. Ditto if you want to introduce a subject which bears no relevance to my original post.
Second: I don't have a problem with trenchant criticism of me or the Government, or vociferously expressed opinions, but if I regard your comments as offensive I won't allow them to appear. (I don't like having to moderate comments, but have reluctantly come to the conclusion that people cannot be relied upon not to abuse my good nature!)

Thirdly: I might just randomly delete comments from certain people because I'm getting thoroughly fed up with them and want them to go away and annoy someone else for a while. You know who you are.
That's all - although I reserve the right to create new rules as and when I feel like it. My blog = my rules!From under the floorboards

I don't see how that's at all relevant.
Indeed pointed, though I have heard them before. A fundamentalist will argue that many of the Old Testament restrictions were lifted per Peter's revelation (Acts). I prefer to note factual discrepancies within the New Testament (eg when did Jesus "cleanse" the temple) to show that the Bible is not factual history/law but is more about people's experiences of God. Regretably, fundamentalists do not listen to whichever argument one chooses.
What about this?
My mother was a church warden, my uncle is a Baptist deacon, my grandmother is a staunch Catholic, and I even have a sister who professes to be a Rastafarian. So no, I most certainly don't. It's bigotry I hate.
