With a total so far of 14,103 posts of drivel against my 7,541 examples of distilled excellence you declare yourself to be the board arbiter on verbal diarrhoea? Now that is bizarre!

from The Washington Post....World's tallest church has a waste problem — young Germans with full bladders“Once again, it's coated with urine and vomit,” one of the building's preservers lamented.By BEN GUARINO | 3:12AM EDT - Tuesday, October 25, 2016THE SPIRE atop Ulm Minster, the world's tallest church, juts 530 feet into the air above the German city for which it is named. In its 639th year, however, the Gothic structure could be laid low by a gross and unfortunate hazard: Too many revelrous Germans are ducking into the church's alcoves to relieve their full bladders and queasy stomachs against the ancient walls.
“I've been keeping an eye on it for half a year now and, once again, it's coated with urine and vomit,” Michael Hilbert, head of the local building preservation agency, told German broadcaster Deutsche Welle.
Those charged with maintaining the building, like Hilbert, worry that abrasive chemicals in the bodily fluids are abrading the sandstone blocks that form the church's foundation. Making matters worse, the potential damage to the stone comes after the church recently completed an expensive renovation.
Hilbert clarified to Suedwest Presse that he does not want to become the “Pinkelpolizei”, which the BBC translated as “pee police”. That task will be left to the German authorities. To stanch the flow of expelled waste, police patrols have increased in the area. Ulm also doubled city fines for public urination to €100, or $110.
But neither the increased fines nor the extra patrols appear to have curbed the acidic eliminations. (Most sandstones are able to weather acids, like those in acid rains, without significant damage, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Certain sandstone types, however, contain carbonate cements that dissolve when exposed even to weak acids.)
The church is a popular location for community celebrations, markets and festivals, like wine tastings or Christmas parties, noted Duetsche Welle. Organizers rarely provide appropriate toilets, in Hilbert's view, prompting offenders to do their corrosive business against Ulm Minster's walls.
“This is about preserving law and order,” Hilbert told Suedwest Presse.
If the pee causes irreversible damage, it will be a sad note added to Ulm Minster's long history. Construction on the church, which cannot technically be classified as a cathedral because it was never the seat of a bishop, began in the late 14th century. When it was finally completed five centuries later, Ulm Minster was briefly the tallest building in the world — until it was surpassed by New York City's Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower in 1909.
Ulm Minster is not the only iconic structure to face excremental threats. The marble of the Taj Mahal has begun to take on a green hue under a deluge of bug feces. Flies breed in large numbers in the stagnating waters of nearby Yamuna River, as The Washington Post reported in May, and deposit the remnants of their algal diets on the white mausoleum.• Ben Guarino writes for The Washington Post's Morning Mix.www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/10/25/worlds-tallest-church-has-a-waste-problem-young-germans-with-full-bladders

The paleo atheist troll brigade "likes" this? Bless 'em! I like it too. In fact it's one of my favourite arguments in favour of social justice Christianity.

Yet another argument in support of social justice Christianity. I'm loving this! Keep 'em coming!

Yep....Captain Sneero finally crawled out of his pit hours after the rest of us.

More like a duet than a pack, but don't let facts get in the way of your sneering.
(…and I know all about duets — I've got a Royal Schools of Music Grade 8 Piano Duet certificate, and with a “distinction” pass too!)

I guess when you're a troll, a whole troll, and nothing but a troll, then all you can do is ... err ... troll! You've really got no other agenda here on the Religion Board.

Yeah, but you were brainwashed with Roman Catholic twaddle when you were young and impressionable, so I guess that is why you think delusional stuff is brilliant.

Predictable, right on cue. Cute in its own screwed up way. Utterly fails to see the irony in Occam's quite clever c & p or the nuance in my response to his boring "delusional" attempt at a sneer. BTW note I say "attempt" at a sneer. He doesn't quite get there. But he tried ... oh how he tries! Pssst KTJ that was a sneer - a real one! In the end, hopelessly, cluelessly out of his depth as usual, he falls back - as he always does, on his troll mantras. Ho hum ...

Actually, KTJ is totally correct.
How can you BRB when all evidence is the total opposite.

Time is relative. It doesn't run contrary to evidence at all. If your evidence runs opposite as you say; I would like to see your supposed evidence to the contrary.

He was selling postcards from a paper stand A whiskey bottle in his withered hand He put a finger on a photo from an old magazine And saw himself in the shadow of his dream They found him with his head inside a tin-pot crown Told him his feet stank and took him downtown Called him agitator, spy and thief Shut him up in solitary third degree Take a long line, reel him in He tried to appeal to the king of might He said "I'm just excercising my sacred right" The king he said "You ain't got no rights You're a madman, a traitor, get outta my sight" Take along line, reel him in They put him aboard a well wound whirlwind Pulled out his teeth and told him to grin He gave them a smile, pulled out a bottle of wine And said "I never existed, you've been wasting your time" Take a long line, reel him in
RIP Doc - Lead singer of one best ever Australian Pub Bands.

Love Putin's quote today: "If you don't produce the evidence, it doesn't exist." So how's your evidence that God exists going? Still nada?
