Too silly for words

So do the 'protestant atheists,' Dawkins, Hitchens et al, really want to arrest the Pope? Perhaps they do, perhaps it is just another stupid publicity stunt - but far more costly, in more ways than one, than the 'God probably doesn't exist' buses of last year. I really have no words left to express my contempt for these people's views. Having said that, as we believe in the power of prayer, we should all pray for their conversion - far stranger things have happened.

This site should be recommended reading for us all.

Why is it a rule that the wackier the theology, the wackier the vestments? Useful, though - it saves having to ask questions.
It's a shame we can't see it in 3D (the latest retro-fashion at the movies) - even if we can't, dark glasses would help - a lot.

I see the musical 'Hair' is  re-opening in London this evening. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/theatre/theatre-features/7528239/Hippie-replacement-Hair-returns-to-Londons-West-End.html
Nostalgia becomes ever more recent. It strikes me that perhaps they should have tried to perform it with the original cast - it would be a visual parable (a not so moving tableau) about how the ideas expressed in stage productions like this have contributed to the disintegration of a civilisation.
