Since the start of covid 19 I've been praying in that church from about lunchtime every day.

I'm especially pious on Sunday and attend church (well, the pub) at about 11.00nam.

Sounds about right... "Need to distort reality in order to make fake sky counsellor believable".

Oh that sounds like the one I've recently been attending myself

I pray for the soul of St Sauvignan Blanc of Marlborough on occasion.

A nice merlot miracle at Lourdes goes down very pleasantly of an evening with a decent chili con carne.

That makes my garage a holy site. It is full of all the '20 for a tenner' Bud boxes my Mrs, kids and I have drunk since this COVID lark began.

I like the idea that various religions came about from the use of psychedelics. Let's face it, you'd have to be on something pretty powerful to come up with some that stuff

Favourite parts?

a) The Johnny Walker miniature hanging from his Mitre hat.

b) The fact he's made himself Pope - straight to the top, none of this Arch-bishop, Cardinal nonsense. No Sir.

When we die, we go before a panel of judges; Richard Feynman, Stephen Hawking, Max Planck, Niels Bohr etc. On the throne sits Albert Einstein who will decide our fate in the Black Hole of Eternity, based on the answers we give to the panel's inquisition. If we have been sufficiently faithful to science, we will know nothing about this, and will just end up dead, gone. If not, we will forever face the punishment of sitting before a whiteboard having string theory explained to us. Over. And over. And over. And over...

I generally ask any religiousists who are getting snooty and judgemental about drinking alcohol what Jesus' first miracle was...

Although to quote Terry Pratchett:
"As if the turning of sunlight into wine, by means of vines and grapes and time and enzymes, wasn't a thousand times more impressive and happened all the time."
