VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|Matt2112|DATE|1363949515|CONTENT|Heavy snow here so I set off for work very early and hence missed Sacks&#039; latest over-earnest ramblings (the radio in my car is kaput at the moment and has one of my favourite Rush CDs stuck in it), but it sounds like just another rehash of the previous year, and the year before that, and so on.

However, I&#039;ve got to say, today&#039;s PotD is surgically and astutely brilliant: 

[blockquote]We tell stories and sing songs about how the Invisible Magic Friend slaughtered the children of our enemies (although this never happened) and gave us the Promised Land, unfortunately already occupied by people who would also have to be slaughtered (although this also never happened).

Religion is all about ritual. Don&#039;t listen to all those TFTD presenters that insist that ritual is superficial and much less important than getting to know the Invisible Magic Friend. They&#039;re wrong and I&#039;m right.[/blockquote]
