Damaging Rays, like Charles

Posted on | December 2, 2009 | 47 Comments

I know over the last few days we have, on this blog, discussed the craven compliance of the Irish people when it comes to the catholic church. In the face of all the evidence they still support them.

However, let’s face it, these are the same people who went to Knock at the behest of that arch-spoofer Joe Coleman who told them the virgin mary would appear.

“Look”, someone cried, “there she is”.

“Where?”

“Right there. If you stare right into the sun you can see it dancing”.

“Oh sweet blessed mother, there you are”.

In fact, it was not the virgin mary dancing but instead it was the kind of reaction you would expect to see when having the retinas burned out of your head. From today’s Indo:

FIVE people who stared at the sun in the hope they might be witnessing religious apparitions are being treated for serious eye damage, a top eye surgeon has revealed.

Reports of pilgrims to Knock seeing the sun dance in the sky and changing colour indicate serious eye damage.

So these are the kind of people who don’t mind rapey priests and covery-uppery bishops. These are people who would, first of all, stare directly into the sun despite the natural instinct to, you know, never do that. And then after they’ve stared at the sun long enough to damage their eyes they reckon it’s dancing mary and not cunted corneas.

Joe Coleman’s travelling freak show of idiotic sun-starers, tinkers and the desperate, brain dead devout will descend on Knock again this weekend as he has made up a load of shit saying promised mary will appear again. What if it’s overcast and not sunny?

“Look, there she is!”

“Where?”

“There – this time she has appeared as a cloud!”

“Hallelujah”.

Now, where did I leave my white stick?

    Is that what you call a reverse miracle,
    visit the cure-all shrine and come away blind.
    I think I’ll stay at home this weekend

    It’s quite hilarious really.
    Still if they sued Joe Coleman for encouraging them to damage their eyes it might get him in prison. Where he can spend a few years on his knees doing things other than praying.

    “Stupid cunts, they deserve everything they get”
    Yes Tipper but they are the idiots who ultimately vote in the government and as a result the whole country gets it
    Really Ireland has to wake up.
    Almost without exception every Irish person I have met is well educated and articulate (when sober) HEY I frequent bars ok,
    Yet for some mad reason you elect a pig in a suit to run the place
    Why ?
    I really wish I could add more but why the fuck do you keep shitting on your selves ,

    “‘…they could very well be a smaller representative sample,’ Dr O’Donoghue said, adding that two of those who had presented to the hospital had also reported that other members of their families had suffered visual damage.” – The IT

    What is this “visual damage” of which they speak?

    They can’t see how fucking stupid they are. Thats the visual damage referred to.

    You could have a right laugh with these peasants if you had a trout rod, some nice low-gauge fishing line and a papier mache version of Holy Mabs.

    I suggest putting up signs for the ‘Holy Apparition’ leading straight over the Cliffs of Moher.

    Taya… this country is fucked up big time. I don’t need to list the problems of this poorly run shit hole, we know them already but as far as I’m concerned a few fuckwitts standing on a mountain staring at the sun deserve everything they get. The sooner catholicism.inc is run down the better and this is just another step on the way to its ultimate demise. The unfortunate thing is that most of these miracle worshippers must be deaf too ‘cos they obviously can’t hear us laughing…

    In fairness,Jesus only had to convince 12 Fishermen that he was Gods son,and Fishermen can be fairly gullible on the tall tales.. Look at the state of humanity because of it..

    Good enough for ‘em. Maybe we could get Joe to change the venue to the cliffs of moher, see if they can’t spot her about 10ft off the edge. Monkey people.

    What, is the tree stump out in Rathkeale passe now? At least if they went to look at the Virgin Mary in that they wouldn’t have damaged their retinas.

    Anyway how can anyone believe Joe Coleman, everyone knows there is no such thing as a “sun” in Ireland.

    You shouldn’t be so derisory about Joe Coleman. Miracles can happen to the unlikeliest of people. The other day, she appeared to me and said “Let the children lose it. Let the children use it. Let all the children boogie.”
    I will be there on Saturday staring at the sun with the other faithful, if she decides I should be blinded, so be it.

    If only holy Joe could convince them that the blessed virgen could be made out in the headlight of an oncoming train, then there might be some real news back in the papers again.

    Ibanez: With your Spanish name, you’d be on the fast track to a leadership position within Fianna Fail, where you’ll probably start a civil war with the democratic people of the country over a bill you don’t like.
    Then after a war against a complete cunt (where you’ll stay neutral) which loses, you’ll sign a book of condolence for him and then when out of office you’ll want to be president, then Taoiseach again, because you’ll be a power hungry cunt, who has built a rotten republic that sticks of rightousness and catholicism. Your minions will love you no matter what you do, and vote for you repeatedly as they age, but hopefully one day their yound will rise up against the shitpile you created and revolt. But more likely they’ll just blog and comment on it.

    It is a good question though, isn’t it?

    If you were Independent you’d probably need a bit of wealth or some wealthy people to back you. And then when you’re in hock to the wealthy people you’re corrupted.

    Win the lottery, start your own party, seems to be the only solution.

    Apparently, if you look directly at the Sun for long enough it appears to be dancing. I believe the name of the dance is the Macularena.

    People beleive what they want to be true.

    As in the bible or a the X factor, you can see how easily a majority are duped into following, in this case, a fictional story or in the other, a talentless kareoke show that seems to go on 365 days a year and features shits on sticks.

    Joe Coleman gives people hope, he doesn’t take money, try to make you feel guilty for being human or sodomise children so I’d have to say I’d rather listen to that mad cunt than listen to the ‘rapeys’ or the ‘cover upeys’

    For my part, I beleive in

    So what you’re saying is Joe Coleman gives people hope by telling them a character from a fictional story is going to appear.

    How does that work?

    The Basillica in Knock is like Kevin Costners Field of Dreams.
    If you build it they will come… and them go…blind.

    i dont think so twenty look at counselor luke ming flanagan he had fuck all behind him only a few stoners and as far as i know he was reelected the last time around for his second term. but he was trying to get elected for a good few years before he actually got in just goes to show if you put enough time and energy in it can be done there is a good documentary on the web about his campaign well worth a look. also didnt they elect some young fella just out of school in waterford last time round

    ‘How does that work’
    I’ve no idea Twenty, but maybe Coleman announces it to his listeners in the voice of the guy from movie trailers, ‘they said she was gone for good….but now…. SHE’S BACK…….coming this Sunday (at roughly 2.45)

    Apparently St Peter is appearing at Doheny & Nesbitt’s this Friday night at about 9pm.

    I heard he wants loads of dead fish in his dressing room. Precious cunt.

    if Joe was an astronaut and he flew to the Sun, he would not get burned or blinded if he went at night. Knock Knock who’s there? Jaysuss ARE you Blind or what?
