“For pity’s sake, closet atheists of Britain, come out! Don’t “respect” this credulous folly! Don’t let the madnesses of these faith minorities go by default! Stop our politicians kowtowing to nutters! Cease the embarrassed muttering about being “don’t knows” on religion, and shout it out. We do know! It isn’t true! All that is necessary for the triumph of religion is that disbelievers should do nothing. God speed to this ludicrous casket of bones; they have reminded me of an eternal truth: agnosticism is not enough.”
Matthew Paris (via) on learning that fragments of St Therese of Lisieux’s foot and thigh bones are commencing a tour of England and Wales. And I always thought Matthew Paris was amongst the more mild mannered of commentators. It guess it’s just his deceptively mellifluous voice.
