I actually meant to say that he says THIS without a trace of irony, to be clear. I hoped no-one would pick up that omission!

I'm not quite clear who it is who's supposed to know nothing about theology. I suspect it's both of us. I cheerfully confess that theology is not something I've ever given any time to, and I can't think I'm about to start any time soon. I'm sure that a good deal of heartfelt, soul-searching thinking goes into it. But, as it's entirely predicated on a single, huge, false premise, I really can't be arsed with it. I'm sure I'm missing a lot, but I suspect that whatever I'm missing could be got from somewhere else anyway.
