Accordion to a recent study, seven out of ten people don't notice when a word in a sentence is replaced by a musical instrument. Never mind! This is not an important post anyway; just a short note that I won't be going to this year's Community Christmas Carols in the local hall.
Christmas is all about an unskilled Middle Eastern man and his pregnant partner seeking refuge and shelter. It even made headlines at the time.
I've been an atheist long before I could spell the word. At age fourteen, when others attended confirmation in their Sunday-best, I sat through a Freethinkers' function in the local cinema, much to my parents' shame.
Of course, you don't have to be Richard Dawkins to realise that we are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in.
Some of us just go one god further.
