Nothing is worse than trying to scream, or even blink an eyelid, to get the attention of people talking and chatting, while lining up those scalpels. lotta joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12742978845913126675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5000892193344053581.post-10753713917357487692013-10-07T14:45:58.656-07:002013-10-07T14:45:58.656-07:00The disconcerting thing is that mine isn't a n...The disconcerting thing is that mine isn't a nightmare as such, my mind is awake but my body isn't. And yes Philip, religion is a hospital for the sick - or at least for those who would rather have the false comfort of a god as a prop, in order to handle reality.

Mine is: I'm in the car and reversing at an ever increasing rate of knots - and the brakes don't work. Careering madly toward another car sometimes, or a ravine, or a building. No idea why this is. <br /><br />Religion is for nutters mainly. There is now a deal of nonsense going the rounds about why most UK schools are not teaching RE properly. The RE teacher at my granddaughters primary school admits that she is an atheist. Let's hope she teaches that religious 'beliefs' are just that: beliefs.

But they are often distrustful of scientists, whom they see as amoral and inclined towards atheism. If you want to beat the religious types you've got to be a scientist like Mr Spock, who showed them that his morality was superior to theirs.Gorilla Bananashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13044093013423635830noreply@blogger.com
