'Bellend', much underused insult in my opinion.
You might wade in and lamp him and so would many, but my point remains that religion has built up a wall of deference that protects it from legitimate questioning and criticism that we would not think twice about leveling at other ideas.
What he said is not really the point, it is just an example to illustrate the point I am attempting to make, there are, of course, endless examples of religious nonsense spouted from the mouths of the vicars of god that are rarely if ever challenged.
If in any other area of public discourse I made similar outlandish and bizarre claims to knowledge about the nature of the universe, I would be quite rightly laughed at.
That is what these claims deserve, laugher, but what they demand is deference and respect, without that they would quickly be seen for what they are By the way the Bishop of Carlisle was not the only member of the COE to ascribe the floods last year to batty men, I forget the other bastards name right now.
