Hah! We wish! There are some parts of the country where you can do that, but in heavily Christian areas, you wouldn't dare. You can bash Christians in California, but try doing it in Oklahoma...

Fruit is a triumph of nature and even rotten fruit is useful as food for insects and birds. Christianity is not useful for anything apart from laughing at. Also fruit makes alcohol which is one of my favourite things! No fruit should be compared to christians. Fruit is a triumph of nature and even rotten fruit is useful as food for insects and birds.

By the way - do you think the Anti Defamation League have some sort of case for copyright theft? It could be quite fun to see the 'defenders' of two faiths have a go at each other in an expensive court case. Whatever fruit they are, I’m sure it’s well past the sell-by date.

OK how about chestnut, technically not a fruit but those moronic christians have again come out with the same tired old "chestnut" about being persecuted. Angelo, you don't seem to realise that your mate jesus is a long time dead so wouldn't care about his moronic followers. Rog’s Deadly Nightshade is spot on and hard to beat.

They are more like Caiaphas and Pilate. I disown them!" They call themselves “christians”, but I’m sure Jesus won’t approve guys who
- continually spread hate and slanderous lies against a category of citizens who are harming no-one;
-blackmail the entire citizenship of a town by menacing to withdraw aid to the poors on the ground that they may be forced to do charity to an homosexual spouse, if gay marriage is approved;
-insult God and Jesus by saying that god would cause hurricanes and tsunamis to harm populations who tolerate homosexuality;
- oppose legislation against violence towards GLBT people;
- some of which have been found to partake clandestinely of those pleasures they so vociferously condemn
I think Jesus would say: “Christians? They are more like Caiaphas and Pilate. I disown them!”
