God Hates Shrimp!

Little known fact: God hates shrimp.



According to Leviticus 11:9-12:

These shall ye eat of all that are in the waters: whatsoever hath fins and scales in the waters, in the seas, and in the rivers, them shall ye eat.
And all that have not fins and scales in the seas, and in the rivers, of all that move in the waters, and of any living thing which is in the waters, they shall be an abomination unto you:
They shall be even an abomination unto you; ye shall not eat of their flesh, but ye shall have their carcases in abomination.
Whatsoever hath no fins nor scales in the waters, that shall be an abomination unto you.

I stumbled across this website by accident, but before the religious fanatics start mobilising, the site isn't really about God hating shrimp, it's more about how there's a lot in the old testament that doesn't apply anymore, and that the new testament put down a new set of rules.

They use this as a basis to suggest that God isn't actually against homosexuality, because according to the site Jesus never spoke out against it.

Interesting stuff, read the about section for more information on the site.

For I am

I close my eyes
I hear my breathing
I feel my mind clear
And I hear pain and suffering
For I am the world

As I concentrate
I hear people crying
I feel their fear and hopelessness
I hear the world avoiding looking at me
For I am Darfur

As I concentrate
I feel violence within me
I hear myself attacking someone
I feel their possesions in my hand
And I feel I have no choice
For I am the cycle of crime

As I concentrate
I feel the temperature of the world increasing
I hear another piece of the ice cap fall into the sea
I feel the pollution pouring into the skies
And I feel those in power counting votes
For I am climate change

As I concentrate
I feel people who care
I hear them want to make a difference
I feel the desire to be better people
And I hear them continue to fight a losing battle
For I am human potential

I first read about this site in an article on the BBC Sport website.

The idea of the website, My Football Club, is that members sign up and pay £35 a year to buy an equal share in a football club.

What makes this idea different to a club owned by a Supporters trust is that each member gets an equal vote on almost every aspect of the running of the club, from picking weekly formations, transfers to staff appointments, all backed up by reports from the head coach, videos of training and matches etc.
There won't be a manager as the members will in effect be both the manager and chairman (in a Football Manager kind of way).

The driving principle behind the idea is for football fans to be more involved with football in an age where some fans feel alienated by millionaire footballers, expensive ticket prices and hostile take over bids for clubs.

The site is waiting for at least 50,000 people to commit to paying £35 (which will give a purchase fund of £1.375 million) and when this is received members will vote on which club to try and purchase; the most popular choice at the time of writing is Leeds United.

I've already registered for the site as I think it would be an interesting project to the involved with.

So far 31,479 people have registered an interest - will you be 31,480?
