Now, y'know, I was with you up to this point. But then it all starts
to go a bit strange.

Um... You go from condemning one man's perceived (and disavowed)
religion to suddenly evangelising your own, which is not a good way to
come across as sane, rational and reasonable, you have to realise
that.

A quick Google of those titles and authors makes me think "ah, right,
another bunch of raving lunatics" and file 'em in the round file next
to David Icke, a local noisy public deranged idiot in our part of the
world.

Believe what you like, Mr H, but I suggest you keep it under your hat.

Religion is like genitalia. It's fine to enjoy them, it's fine to be
proud of them, just keep them to yourself unless invited to share.
Never shove them down anyone's throat uninvited and keep them away
from children.
