I wouldn't describe myself as religious - because I'm not.
I've never understood religion - I prefer to refer to it as a much more heavy version of the Brothers Grimm (although the necrophilia story was interesting.)
I find that some religious folk and I share similar views on each other:
They pity me as I have no faith.
I pity them as they blindly believe in something that essentially puts us in the biggest version of Sim City that you'll ever see.
They quote a lot from their "special books" (thankyou Marcus Brigstocke for my favourite new religious term)
I quote a lot from my favourite books (In particular the Big Book of Insults, and Book of Management Bollocks)
They believe that religion peaceful.
I believe that it is one of the reasons for some of the biggest fights and wars.
and on and on and on ad infinitum.
But, listening to The Now Show last week, there was 7 minutes 20 seconds of some of the best satirical comedy that I have heard in a long time.
It came from the mouth of Marcus Brigstocke and I would recommend that anybody and everybody listen.
Listen here. (video effects added by someone else.)
