    As an agnostic I find this kind of thing hilarious.
    Especially when people claim it’s some kind of sacrilege.

    Fancy being triggered by baked goods.

    But wasn’t it based on a survey which showed that a percentage of people would prefer to buy a bun with a tick on it rather than a cross? So are they not being triggered by baked goods as well?

    It was a fifth of people would prefer to buy a bun with a tick on it, according to the survey. And then other people got upset. So sad for them.

    It was meant to be a funny comment joining in the jokiness in the thread. I’m one of the good guys I assure you.

    "My advice is: this Easter Sunday, instead of buying hot cross buns, go to church."

    If only the two weren't mutually exclusive. My love of buns has kept me from church all my life. That and I'm not religious.

    That's the thing, does Mogg even go to church? If he does, he's either blasphemously ignoring the teachings of Christ OR he's taking the evil, homophobic, xenophobic, greedy, misogynistic, sanctimonious, capricious, murderous, infanticidal God of the Old Testament literally.

    It was a hoax though, very clever of Iceland! When I read the story originally I didn't understand why it would be a tick as a replacement as the cross is nt the right one to mean wrong. More sacrilegious is the changing of flavours!

    I believe he does, yes, which prompts the question, why doesn't he spontaneously combust as he crosses the threshold.

    So a 1/5 of people are exercised enough by the formation of a cross on a piece of bread to express the desire for it to be changed? Sad for them as well.

    Everybody has their own triggers and finding something offensive is also subjective. People not just accepting others have this individuality is slowly eroding our right of free speech. Country will soon become like the stepford wives.

    My favourite has always been someone claiming offense at having to sit through a full TV programme, then write letters of complaint. A great invention would be a channel swap button or off switch, they could even put it on some type of handset to avoid having to get out of your seat to adjust the tv setting,.

    I think people who write those sort of letters sit through programmes as long as they do just to get more annoyed. Its a masochistic/self-righteous trade off which gives them loads of ammunition for their letters...
