The Pope was in town the other day - did you notice? There didn't seem to be a protest organised in Glasgow, which was a shame, but thankfully around 20,000 people turned out to the protest in London. Which is where Richard Dawkins gave this speech:
This is a good speech, but I'm not the biggest fan of Dawkins. He's as much of a choir-pleasing zealot as his opposite numbers form within the Holy Cee. Much better, I find, is this speech by Stephen Fry, from a debate held last year with the motion "Is The Catholic Church a Force For Good?".
FTW (Fry The Win).

Ted Haggard Has a new Church
...And this one weclomes Teh Gayers, even if not without the smug condescension only the truly religious can muster;
"St. James is a church for sinners, for people who have hit rock bottom and people who want to help people who have hit rock bottom. It is not a gathering for the righteous, except those who are righteous by faith."
Rock hard bottoms and big gay-friendly openings aside, does this mean Ted is less fucked in the head (or face!) than he was? Or maybe more? More honest, or more full of shit? I wonder if he'd be any less of a bawbag to Dawkins if he were to visit this church?
Who can say, who can care. One thing is for certain; he still won't be performing any gay marriage ceremonies.
