  2. NO RELIGION IS BETTER THAN (fill in the blank).

    When I was in college, there was a local band named “Phil ‘n’ The Blanks”.

  4. Has someone better eyesight than me – what does the ‘small print’ on the placard say?

  6. Thank you Author for clarifying: “Don’t dare to point fingers on Islam. We love peace” – since they love peace so much, how can it be daring to point fingers at Islam? I’m calling an oxymoron on that one!

  9. No new postings since January 13, 2021 at 9:54 pm? Or something wrong at my side of things?

    OK, this got right through….

    And now I can also see Harry’s.

  10. Thought there may be more postings by bored locked-downers….like me, chilling with some symphonic progressive rock whilst preparing the food for “date night” hope my date remembers to turn up from upstairs…?

  12. Oh right, @Someone Else – “No religion is better than Islam” meaning either ‘there is no religion which is better than Islam’ or ‘the absence of religion is better than Islam’ – double-entendre or amphibology. Besides his amphibology, his small print was an oxymoron as I mentioned above. https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/amphibology

  13. No religion is able to match up with Agnosticism or Atheism would seem to be a better placard, but maybe I am prejudiced.

  14. @Alan Flynn, oxymorons are part and parcel with religious sentiments. In fact, I can think of a word within that word that describes the guy holding the placard rather well.

  17. |No religion is able to match up with Agnosticism or Atheism

    Sing with me:

    There’s no religion like Agnosticism or Atheism I know!
    Everything about them is appealing . . . .

    Except that neither of them is a religion.
