Even though I believe it was only a joke, the way JJ is taking it beggars belief

That was funny. How easy is it to wind JJ up?

JJ's got a great sense of humour, as long the jokes not on him and he's in control. He's a tiresome whinger!

oh that drunk on the Lord stuff really hacks me off, the great big feckin' loon I actually agreed with what Shabby said about him in her nominations

Douche Lord a looking for another whipping boy...But he didn't bargin on Monk Dave turning the tables on him, and making him look a tit.

He really does know how it all works Dave. He can piss off anyone and come off looking good


Oh and as for JJ, says he stuck up for him yet he nominated him earlier in the day?

Very true..

JJ is an unpleasant man. He proudly said (over this incident) "When I fire, I fire."

he hasn't won me over, but JJ deserved evrything he got there.

I hate the fact that he gives it out in spades and can't take anything back....the flaming gallah (whatever one of those is )

i think it was said in a jokey way, but there was  a warning  behind it.

that'll teach john to disrespect the bible..

Agreed.

However I think snorting the Bible is just as likely to get a bolt from the skies as calling it "that shit" 

hahaha, lecs, true nuff.

Dave said his if his Lord wanted him to stay in the house he was going nowhere. Sure enough he wins the immunity task with the help of divine intervention. I may have to rethink my stance on this whole religion malarkey.

JJ needs to sort himself out if he wants to stay in the house. The rate he is going, his days are numbered.

nah ' he's the pretty boy, he'll be there till  the bitter end.

I hope i am wrong cos getting shut of the nasties early on gives us gratification but generally means for boring TV. Its Sods law in the end.

Before I start, I dont particularly like Dave and I've gone right off JJ...
Dave is a Christian yeah? (correct me if I'm wrong)
WOULD JJ have been so gobby to a non-Christian (you know what I'm saying)... all this (not word for word but pretty much the same) - 'are u still reading that claptrap - I could have done better myself....'
just WHO the hell does JJ think he is, critisizing someone for what they believe in?


Oh BTW - I'm not a Christian either

John is a rather large Divot!

tbf it is claptrap.

Jackson.... tbf - a lot of what Dave spouts about being drunk on the Lord is claptrap - but I'm ASSUMING that he's reading the Bible, a Christian bible - and not one that he wrote himself...  what JJ said SHOULD offend an awful lot of people... (again I'm not a Christian)

this is good old c of e we are talking about, the most any of them will do  is tut, possibly roll their eyes, if they are really outraged.

i'd be pretty offended if a bloke sat with me in a confined space and read   great lumps of the bible out loud.

which he started out doing.

Barmy, I totally see your point and agree that Christians probably take a heck of a lot more "in your face" crap than a lot of other religions...I guess most slating of other religions is more the sort of thing some people do down the pub with mates or whatever...having said that, I think a lot of Christians would find Dave's "drunk/high/jacked up on Jesus" thing offensive too.

If I were a Christian I don't know which I'd be MORE offended about, I suspect Dave...because I guess at least JJ has ignorance on his side.  What's Dave's excuse?

I'm not a Christian either, but I agree with you Barmy. It's was just so wrong what he did there. Then to go and say Dave said what he did for no reason , apart from him mocking someone's beliefs he was a down and out liar. 

I've not liked him from day one, but now he's my least favourite in the house and that's a longish list.

^^^ yes, but he was reading it to himself, and before, when he was reading it out loud ANY ONE OF THEM could have told him to eff off - but they didnt for fear of being nominated - simple as that!

Hahahaha I just said something very similar in another thread about good old CofE outrage.

it's a very hobbyish  sort of religion

I'm CofE but I didn't tut or roll my eyes. But I do find it odd how threatened some feel about the way Dave chooses to express his faith. He is quirky, and different in his method but being open minded also involves respect for how others go about their lives. Yeah, he's sat there with his Bible and it pisses you off...then move away.

I hate organised religion but agree completely. JJ was quite nasty about it. I'm not entirely convinced that Dave isn't a total fraud though.

I was raised Catholic ,now there is a Religion!  Guilt, guilt,guilt! Upon your new born soul.

Anyone spouting religion in there on the last BB needs a serious kicking. Blimey, a chance of a lifetime to enjoy the last ever BB and all we see is Bitching and Bible bashing. FGS, enjoy the experience and make the most of it, this is your chance of a lifetime.

Suzy and Promethus (did I spell that right lol) - I agree with both of you - I'm assuming that Dave is reading The Bible - like I said before, not one that he has written up himself - to suit himself.  Again there would be uproar if someone was sitting reading the K'Ran or whatever it is, or the Jehovas' equivalent of a bible.  I am not a Christian or a Muslim or a Jehovah, but I'm speaking as someone who lives in harmony with each and try not to judge - I actually see good points and bad points to every religion  - JJ had NOT RIGHT WHATSOEVER to diss Dave's  beliefs in such a crude manner (and again I'm NOT a Christian OR a Dave supporter)

True and the guilt never leaves does it?.

i don't mind anyone sitting and reading whatever they choose to read.nearly every conversation dave has involves his lord, and i find myself agreeing with shabby on this, that his belief is that his lord wants him to stay in a reality tv show and in the bb house.

surely the lord has better things to be getting on with? 

dave diminishes his own  beliefs by his actions, in my opinion.

Nah Lee,my uncle passed away a couple of weeks ago,he was 74.I was fine,well untill they started the heavy hymns at the requiem mass...I blubbled like a drain,for him obviously but they do know  how to getcha!

That's true of all religion. Religion is the officially recognised and fully endorsed boogey man, the ghost in the closet. It's always out there waiting to get you if you don't live your life exactly as they say you should. It matters not that depending where you are born you may have a religion that differs drastically to those in neighbouring countries, all that matters is that you are a slave to their idiosyncratic versions of 'The Word Of The Lord' and always will be.

I still don't understand how intelligent people can buy into this and most likely never will. Fear of death and having nowhere to go in the afterlife is, I suppose, the only reasonable explanation.

Human arrogance  prometheus.. we think we are not animals and deserve better  than other species on the planet.Just because we fear death etc.we have invented an afterlife.

I'm not getting in to a theological discourse about this but my faith has nothing to do with a fear of death or any other fears. It is simply an acceptance that there is so much that is unknown, that will always remain a mystery, and love and respect is at the forefront of these things, for me.
I'm quite happy to accept that I'm dumb too.

Love and respect is what sharing life with other people is all about, not just religion. If those are your reasons I applaud you. You're not just following some mantra because you were brought up that way. And no you are not dumb at all.

Having watched many wildlife shows etc, Elephants,gorillas,chimps etc that mourn their dead ,I think they are so much more  worthy  than we,an absolutely vile, murdering species,deserve to be here. Think,we have slaughtered millions of own kind over the eons and other species too in our arrogance.We really do deserve to die out,hopefully we won't take too many more other species with us,we have damaged the planet enough.
