Dunno. You insult most people's intelligence when you insist on the idea that living without any belief in the metaphysical is a positive assertion.

You know, many people, increasingly many as it happens, never reach a point of asking themselves if they believe in God. It just isn't a situation they face. Who needs God when soap operas and celebrity culture provide the distractions from day to day living?

Funny thing evolution. It has a habit of allowing medieval constructs to wither through irrelevance. Assertion of religion can just make people distance themselves even more.

As I type the vote in The House of Lords on gay marriage is taking place. The bishops are lining up to vote on something that may affect people who are not members of their club and frankly their argument has no merit even if I did recognise their right to vote on my behalf.

I wonder, really wonder if the rank and file shall continue to be happy to be led by disgraceful bigotry?
