Rob, calling someone a jock or a taff isn't the same as calling someone a paki or a coon, a wog, etc etc.

sure i agree with you, its not the same. rather amusingly, Pakistanis have a rather cheeky word for us, they call us Ghora, meaning whitey! kind of like the Asian equivalent of honkey, cracker etc etc.

Plus, the fact is that Germany lost, which makes it even worse!
Precisly.

The same thing goes for every other argument the unbeliever makes. They believe a lie, so therefore the truth must be a lie.

He flies the English flag. Cornwall is still mostly Celt I understand, like Wales, but he does fly the English flag...

While I wouldn't argue about the age of the English nation (well, I might suggest that it's nearer 1300 years old), I am curious as to your source for the existence of a 'King Arthur Pendragon'. You're not swallowing Geoffrey of Monmouth's story are you?
I have no proof. That's the story I've been exposed to mostly; he's a Welshman (well, Briton technically) who maintains order after the Romans leave, only to fall to the Angles and other Germanic tribes. Whether Arthur was an individual or a symbol of Celtic resistance I don't know. If my statement wasn't fact then it was poetic license.

I understand he may have been contemporary with Saint Patrick!

EDIT - I tend to go roughly by the historical novels The Camulod Chronicles by "Jack Whyte" actually, but I am in no way willing to argue that Arthur was an actual historical figure.

Is this supposed to be some kind of joke? This is about "Hindu society", not "Hinduism proper". Are you not able to make that distinction? Perhaps an example will help. "Santa Claus" is considered a part of "Christian society", though few if any would consider it part of "Christianity proper".

So once again you still have posted no evidence that it is definitely part of Hinduism proper. None, zero, nada.

You also have not posted any reasonable refutation of the evidence that it is not a part of Hinduism proper.

Quite frankly, I don't think you can do either and so you instead continue your dancing around it.

Whether homosexuality is genetic or otherwise doesn't really matter now does it.

Who cares what consenting adults do in thier own homes? (apparently robbie does😕 )
Who cares if they have gay pride marches?
What possible harm can they do? Honestly?

Once again you said:
" i am merely providing evidence against the accusation that i am a bigot"

Are you really so dim that you are incapable of having even a half-way intelligent discussion?

i could not care less, if you actually read the thread before making such a statement you would realise that i have refused on numerous occasions to give my personal opinion, your attempts to state otherwise are the reflections of a slaphead and a doughball! get a grip.

exactly, they want everyone to be like them, think like them, adopt the same morality as them, they preach individual freedom and exist as slaves of corruption, biggest bunch of hypocrites ever.

I think there are numerous posts in several threads clearly explainig that there is no such thing as 'the truth' .
Unless you believe the bible hook,line and sinker and dismiss all other evidence to the contrary. Then there might be this truth you speak of . Of course this will just be "God" being merciful to the ignorant who have good heart but wrong thinking.

In short your are delusional but we all are to some extent. To think otherwise (ie.that you are not delusional and every other person that disagrees with you is), is VERY delusional.
