I note that the persecuting of Christians is not just a hobby we enjoy here in the BS pages of Mudcat..

Banksy's latest art offering

"Cardinal Sin" (title of the art piece)

No relation, I trust, to Christopher Syn DD (one time vicar of Dymchurch under-the-wall).

Cheers

Nigel

Possibly Jaime Sin, Archbishop of the Phillipines.

I say throw all the damn Christians to the lions in the arena. History has amply demonstrated that the Romans had the right idea.

I think that the NFL should have a team called the Christian Martyrs and Tim Tebow should be it's captain.

The Christian Martyrs were mauled by the Lions today. It doesn't look any better for next week when the Panthers are in town.

Sounds good to ME, Jack! We shoulld probably add a team called The Gladiators - or at least the Centurians- as well.

Glad to see that some of the local scallies have been taking an interest in Banksy's other artwork in Liverpool...

I can't see how a piece of artwork designed as a response to child abuse by clergy can be seen as persecuting Christians. That attitude is simply perverse. Maybe you think we should turn a blind eye to what amounts to priests persecuting children.

Problem is leveller, not much irony in their ancient instruction manual...
