Attack of the Theocrats!
Studying the history and context therein of theology is an exacting and useful science. Theology itself is ridiculous. The minute someone tells me they are studying theology at college or university I switch off. I usually tell them I am studying Ancient Amazonian Spiritual Beliefs and their Effect on the Rainforest Canopy and hence Global Warming, for which I am preparing a paper. They look bemused, and then usually back off. BTW, has anyone done a study of how many god botherers are AGW deniers? It seems to be rampant.
