Yeah Michael. I don't distinguish between the length of a car and the length of a double decker bus either. I don't distinguish between....

I don't distinguish between religions as being religions. What is difficult about that? I know Christians pray with their fingers crossed, Muslims pray with their arse in the air and Sikhs get fed afterwards. They are distinctions of process, not concept.

As I have never been a Christian, Muslim or anything else for that matter, I don't have any affinity with any of them. Some of my friends are Christians, some of my friends are Muslims, etc etc. Why should I lean towards one group over another on the basis of history?

As the last Archbishop of Canterbury pointed out last month, we are a post Christian society. The traditions still inform our way of life in terms of which day of the week we get a lay in, which dates we get pissed and promise to like each other and what time B&Q shuts on a Sunday. But after that, I fail to see why one cult should have any more influence over me than another?

Are you saying I don't distinguish between Sheffield Wednesday and groups of 11 men who try to play football?
