Who are "we"?

All Christians beleive in God? A hell of a lot of vicars and one celebrated bishop of Durham would take issue with you over that one. As my brother in law pointed when at vicar school, (at Cambridge but under the auspices of Durham University) the job of a vicar is to ensure the congregation do, but not to insult their own intelligence if they cannot handle superstition at the intellectual level.

This is why it was the laity rather than the employees who tried buggering up the women bishop debate the other year. The professionals know that in any company, if it is to succeed commercially, pragmatism is far more important than doctrine and philosophy.

I pointed out, quite reasonably that most people who don't give the church a second thought and don't believe in nonsense still put CofE on forms, because it is as natural as saying what your date of birth is, (star sign anyone??)

Meanwhile, God botherers jump on the statistic to make them look relevant. My view is that they lie about how many delusioned people there are because they are ashamed at the intellectual level and get comfort in numbers. After all, you can't point and laugh the the little boy who has shat himself if your own underpants are lumpy.

No Keith. Not all people calling themselves Christians beleive in God. Stop treating intelligent people as if they are at your level. If you come out with bullshit don't complain when people laugh at you.
