Also implies I think being against something not for something,,, humanist society works better for me as a title but who can match the wrathful Dawkins for sheer anger against God? funny name ‘national secular society’…

OK, own up folks - who's praying against them?! I think the least they could have done is provide a proper link to Cartoon Church!

I had an email yesterday from Terry Sanderson of the NSS. I'm not going to bother quoting him, but he doesn't agree that it was rude to use Dave's name in vain like this. By the way, did you know that secularists have unusual amounts of facial hair and shout at dogs in the street? I knew one who did, therefore that must be a general rule.

Especially the "Dave at Cartoonist Blog" byline. It would have been more honest to describe Dave properly, and at least acknowledge www.cartoonchurch.com . a thought: if you reproduce the words of a cartoon without permission, is this copyright infringement as if they had reproduced the whole cartoon without permission?

Something odd is happening. Maybe the NSS has a techie working 24/7 to stop anyone coming to their site from anywhere "religious", for fear of contamination. Maybe they "want a society in which all are free to practise their faith ...", but apparently the National Secular Society is not such a society! This link works at the time of writing.
