First, someone would stand up and make a theological point based on the Big Book of Magic stuff. Then someone else would stand up and express the [i]opposite[/i] theological point of view, also based on the Big Book of Magic Stuff. It's almost as if the Big Book of Magic Stuff was made up by different people at different times and it wasn't the incontrovertible view of the Invisible Magic Friend after all.

They were discussing The Gays. Parliament have been discussing The Gays too. Some MPs also have views based on selected bits of the Big Book of Magic Stuff. They select bits that state the incontrovertible view of the Invisible Magic Friend that just happens to support what they think.

This topic, The Gays, seems to be all we ever talk about these days. It's as bad as debating what the Big Book of Magic Stuff has to say about women.

In the end, the Church of Scotland took the firm theological decision that those that wanted The Gays could have them, and those that didn't want The Gays didn't have to have them. So the issue is now finally resolved for good and we will never have to discuss The Gays or women ever again.
