DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Fair play to them.
O'Kane's humanist wedding is to go ahead on Thursday: http://www.thejournal.ie/appeal-huma...52917-Jun2017/

It's an interesting one. You often hear people up the north identifying their Catholicism as their reason for identifying as Irish. Playing Gaelic football and following the Irish soccer team and whatever other little things an Irishman up north does are factors too. Not everyone that identifies as Catholic is religious in that regard. I know I'm not anyway.

Of far more interest is that she claims to be NI's only "glamour model" so a most unusual career to-date. Vice (no pun intended) President of Atheist NI, involved in the first humanist wedding in NI and the only glamour model in NI. Quite a character it would appear.

Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
A bizarre letter (e-mail) of sympathy for Eunan O'Kane and Laura Lacole in the Belfast Telegraph on account of their decision to have a humanist ceremony: http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/op...-35853294.html
The mind boggles. Why does Donald even care or think their relationship and the means by which they wanted to celebrate that is any of his business, considering the couple's marriage (along with the thousands of other marriages that occur outside the confines of a Christian church every day around the world that Donald presumably hasn't been e-mailing about) will make absolutely no difference to his life whatsoever? Religious, holier-than-thou people like this probably genuinely think they're coming across as compassionate and are imparting sound advice with good intentions, but such a patronising message is really just downright insulting. "They have nothing to live for"? Give over.

Haha some things aren't worth analysing, Danny.
I hope the mad fella is right about this though and those crazy humanists are deluded...
Following non existent sky fairies drives some people bonkers.......
Sometimes kids have invisible friends.....but as they grow up they sort of disappear....
Sky Fairy following should be outlawed unless some proof of existence can be produced.....which it never has.....
Sky Fairies are consistent....Absolutely no proof for any of them existing.........
Humanists. So pretentious.
I guess everyone else would be sub-human?
Well it sounds to me she is the driving force behind the whole thing, I dunno if he is particularly bothered about the whole thing?
I suppose it would explain why O'Kane is no good on crosses.
Do you have any evidence God is non-existent?
I think when you are demanding evidence for someone's belief you should at the very least have some proof for your own otherwise it makes you look rather hypocritical if not reckless.
Jesus, we can't even figure out if Harry Arter is 100% committed to Ireland yet we expect to settle the debate over whether there's a higher power?
Why do they need permission all they had to do was get married in a registry office surely?
She discussed it with Tara Mills on BBC Radio Ulster's Talkback programme on the 10th of May. There's a segment of the discussion here: https://audioboom.com/posts/5904822-...marriage-in-ni
I can't find the rest of the discussion online as they only make episodes available on the BBC's website for a month or so, but, from what I recall, she said Eunan was from a Catholic background and that she'd managed to convince him to become a humanist. Before this, it wasn't something of which he'd had much awareness, but he seemed keen once humanism was explained to him.
They required authorisation because their desired ceremony - a humanist ceremony conducted by a celebrant accredited by Humanists UK and sharing their outlook on the world - wouldn't have been legally recognised in the north and they presumably didn't want to get married in a registry office (just as a religious couple wouldn't have to get married in a registry office to have their religious marriage ceremony legally recognised).
Brilliant. He enjoys nailing her sufficiently, to go along with it so. Basically.
Good lad.
"Tell me you love me!" replaced by "Tell me you love Humanism!" as the crucial moment of euphoria....
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
It's a brilliantly vicious piece of spiteful malice aforethought dressed up as concern. Can't just mind his own *****ng business. And of course any low point in life that follows hereafter will be down to the madness, folly, delusion and blindness of their not signing up to his preferred edition of poorly or politically translated and edited latin transcribings of hebrew and aramaic middle eastern folk tales.
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
This isn't the theology thread.
Well I've signed up for the wrong forum then.
