Easter Greetings to the Vatican

10/04/09

When the New Statesman ~~New Scientist~~ asked me for my idea of God, I described God as a ventriloquist’s dummy, worked by puppeteers in the religious bureaucracies. But in this video Canadian director Patrick Boivin delightfully makes puppets of the puppeteers also:

Thanks to Paul Canning for pointing me to Patrick’s work. Readers might want to check out Paul’s comments on Iraq’s hideous treatment of gay men, and Britain’s spineless reaction.

I believe you meant the New Statesman, not the New Scientist.

Something I found that I think it will make you a little happier (I love what you do):

Jesus died so that I
could have a blissful
four days break from
work each year

This thought is almost
enough to turn me into
a good god-fearing
christian.

Almost.
