Ten Views

Unlike Mr Bolan and Ed I thought I’d play this one straight.


Ten views I hold without evidence

• Christmas is a global disgrace and ought to be abolished.
• People who eat dogs are uncivilised.
• Certain kinds of ‘music’ are vile and the people who listen to said ‘music’ have a serious want in them.
• Most politicians are self-serving bastards. It’s why they become politicians. Despite this having elected representatives is a Good Thing.
• The bible is not the word of God. It is a man-made construct. Ditto all the other holy books.
• The cult of celebrity is not new. It exists to distract us from the important stuff. Other than that it is harmless as long as we keep a weather eye on the important stuff.
• People are getting stupider.
• Men and women have more in common than not.
• Segregated education is wrong and has exacerbated the divisions in Northern Ireland society. The Catholic church has perpetrated this wrong for decades.
• Prayer helps.
