This just in..

The bible is truth because it was written 2,000 years ago. The latest Daily M*il is bollocks because it was written 2,000 seconds ago.

I was chatting over the weekend with a close friend who happens to be a "smile too much" born again Christian. Their church is into rock & roll modern hymns, bible class on a Wednesday night, child indoctrination on a Thursday etc. (I went to a christening there once. I thought the rumbling sound was the bass turned up too high. Turns out it was Charles Wesley spinning in his grave.)

I broached the subject of creationism. He said it was tosh, stupid and mocks faith.

You see, the diagnosis is clear. The severity is relative. The delusion is sneaky enough to be rational either side of your own superstition.

Fascinating.
