Attack of the Theocrats!
If you don’t feel like wasting your time reading through the comments at the Guardian, here’s a quick guide to what you’ll find there:
A comment that accuses Richard of being a big meanie – and at Christmas, too!
A comment that expresses a condescending attitude toward Richard for naively thinking that the bible says what it says.
A comment that says Richard is wrong because he’s in a minority.
Another comment that accuses Richard of being a big meanie – and at Christmas, too!
A comment that obliquely suggests that Richard would be another Hitler given the chance.
A comment that asks why Richard didn’t attack the Queen (erm, because the Queen didn’t deliver the Thought for the Day?)
Another comment that accuses Richard of being a big meanie – and at Christmas, too!
A comment that asks why Richard focuses on the Catholic Church when Quakers are so nice.
Fortunately there are quite a few comments supporting Richard. Well done!
Edit: Sorry, I guess the commenter was suggesting that Richard would be another Stalin, not Hitler. My bad!
