there’s more spirituality in a single flower than in all the sanctimonious sky pilots who have ever lived. And that’s why I believe there should be a link between Church and state – all clergy should go to prison for fraud.
    I believe that the only heaven you’ll ever know is right here on earth. And if you can’t see that, you are not really looking.
    I believe that faith-based education is a social cancer which serves only to produce new generation of ignorant bigots, and I believe that indoctrinating children with this repressive medieval bullshit should be vigorously prosecuted as child abuse.
    I believe that religious belief itself is a form of mental illness which has outstayed its welcome on this planet and should now be relegated back to the realm of tarot cards and crystal balls where it belongs.
    If you have to worship something try worshipping something real, like the planet that gave you life, because it’s the best friend you ever had. And I believe it’s the only friend you will ever have. Peace.

Happy Easter
    April 5, 2007
    Happy Easter, everyone. Yes, it’s that time of year again when we celebrate one of the oldest Christian traditions, the blood sacrifice.
    Just as two thousand years ago God sent his son to die for our sins because he didn’t have the balls to do it himself, so Bush and Blair now send other people’s sons to die for their sins for much the same reason.
    But this is not really a time for politics, is it? This is a very special week, as we know, because this week it’s all about the Easter bunny being nailed to a hot cross bun so that he can come back and redeem mankind at some point in the future.
    It’s often said that Jesus could have saved himself, but he chose not to. And if you read the Gospels it’s clear he could have talked himself out of that crucifixion quite easily, but he was just too stubborn. The Romans didn’t really want to kill him at all, but in the end they went along with it because he was being such a prick about it.
    The truth is he couldn’t wait to get up on that cross. In fact I think Christianity only exists because Jesus Christ just happened to be a masochist. I think he took one look at the hammer and nails and he couldn’t believe his luck. He thought: “In three days I’ll be in heaven, but until then I’m going to enjoy myself.”
    Now this, of course, is just a theory, I want to emphasise that, because nobody knows what really happened. The Gospels are not eye-witness accounts. The evangelists never made it to the crucifixion. Couldn’t get tickets, I guess. Once they knew Mel Gibson was coming I’m sure everybody wanted to be there.
    And, to be fair to him, he has made what is now probably the definitive movie on the Easter story – The Passion of the Christ , which, when it first came out, was subjected to quite a lot of criticism and abuse, mainly because it’s a cynical piece of gratuitous trash aimed at simple-minded born again plankton.
    For this reason, though, it made a lot of money, so now some Hollywood studios get a panel of Christians to vet their movies before release to ensure they won’t offend any ignorant born again shitkickers who might happen to be watching. The future looks bright for American culture, wouldn’t you say? I wonder if years from now we’ll look back and say: Poor America, it could have saved itself, but it chose not to?
    As for Jesus himself, well, every day for the last two thousand years he’s been on the verge of coming back to redeem us all, but he hasn’t actually shown up yet, and to be perfectly honest with you I’m not a bit surprised. Put yourself in his position. Would you come back if you were him? I wouldn’t, but then I wouldn’t have come in the first place, so I might be the wrong person to ask.
    The only thing that bothers me about all this is that when Jesus does arrive to dispense his particular brand of justice he’s only going to save the people who believe in him, and
