Steamin' Willie worships Sheffield Wednesday

Some misguided fools worship Sheffield United.

I suppose we all worship football. (assuming that is what Sheffield United are playing....)

But, like any other God, both are abstractions of mans' making. (Sheffield Wednesday in 1867, Sheffield United a few years later, Christianity about 2,000 years ago as amended, Islam a few hundred years later, Judaism ... whenever? )

My point? if you wish to have a God as such, then he / she / it is whatever you make of the concept.

But don't forget, it is YOUR God, not anybody else's and don't be too hurt if I point and laugh at your shallowness to need an imaginary friend. After all, most people laugh at my God, especially as we could yet face relegation from the championship league.

(So will Catholicism if it doesn't recover from the priests who keep buggering up, literally.)
