pete says he is not defending god. We worked that out a long time ago. Joe manages it with a modicum of thought and appreciation of the subject.

Still, considering we understand science to work on the relative level, let's be relative about religion.

So many cults. So many claims that contradict each other. Perhaps the brethren amongst us might consider which tenets they hold dear that a different religion might have a better explanation for?

Haven't you already carried out such a study? No?

Well stop trying to put superstition on a level with the sciences. Try the arts department instead. They have a better understanding of abstract thought.

By the way, there is more written about the Noodly one now than had been written about the Christian god in Victorian times, when you were socially conditioned to be superstitious.

Makes you think...
