But we gotta keep ’em

The British government will turn you away at the border if you have engaged in unacceptable behavior by inciting hatred.

“The Government has made it clear it opposes extremism in all its forms.

“We will continue to stop those who want to spread extremism, hatred and violent messages in our communities from coming to our country.

“The exclusions policy is targeted at all those who seek to stir up tension and provoke others to violence regardless of their origins and beliefs.”

Hate Preachers Turned AwayThat’s why anti-gay preachers are banned from Britain. This group, for example, was refused entry.

They’re the sect that pickets US soldiers’ funerals, holding up banners with phrases such as “God Hates Fags”.

Any similar church members who try to enter Britain are also likely to be stopped.

One silly commenter at The Times article posted: “I’d like to see a consistent God. He used to make it clear what He hated – nuking Sodom, flooding, pestilence, mixing up people’s languages. He could sort this whole thing out in a jiffy by doing a bit of honest smiting like in the Old Days – and it would settle any arguments over his existence.”

Geesh.


Scott Dikkers, Editor at The Onion, says about beliefs:

To me, as a writer, what’s worse is that most people don’t even make up a fantasy for themselves. They actually take something someone else made up and believe that as absolute truth. I really don’t understand that. If you’re going to make up a reality out of whole cloth, at least be original.

You can’t just take someone else’s idea and accept it wholesale as your cherished personal belief. That’s like stealing someone else’s Halloween costume idea and showing up at the same party.
