Birmingham City idiots
Birmingham City Council have decided they should should stop anyone who works there from looking at any websites about atheism, the paranormal, witchcraft (wicca) or satanism. Christianity, Hinduism and Islam are safe though, anyone can take a peek at those.
It’s the “atheism” bit that gets me though, if someone doesn’t believe in any gods, then why would they be looking at websites about it? Do they need to be reminded of their stance?
Council: You can’t look at websites about atheism.
Worker: OK, but I don’t care about god(s). I’m completely ambivilent about the whole scene man. God isn’t even on my radar.
Council: Right, so you can’t look at them.
Worker: But I don’t want to. It would be contrary to my position as an atheist to give any god any credence at all.
Council: Right. Yeah. Don’t look at them or sites about Satanism.
Worker: Dude, if I don’t believe in god, why would I believe in Satan?
Council: Or witches.
Worker: *sigh* you really are an idiot aren’t you?
Lets hope that legal action ensues.
A city council has blocked its staff from looking at websites about atheism.
Lawyers at the National Secular Society said the move by Birmingham City Council was “discriminatory” and they would consider legal action.
