And in the Big News today from a Faith Perspective, well, there isn’t any, so I’ll talk about me busking in Paris. Which brings me to Jesus and being humble and various things like that.

My point is clear.

Do not, I repeat DO NOT, smear the faces of your critics with dog faeces. The Buddha and Jesus were both agreed on this point. Dog faeces is not a valid form of constructive engagement. Instead, when a point of disagreement arises, engage in discussion with your critics and show them that they’re wrong and you are right. Christianity in particular, right through the centuries, has always welcomed open discussion about its theology and practices.

Obviously there is no need for discussion about Thought For The Day, because we’re religious and therefore always right about everything. This is why questions and comments are banned on Radio 4.

Where is the Invisible Magic Friend in the Turkey-Syria earthquake? But this is to ask the wrong question. Instead, let me answer a different question. The Invisible Magic Friend gives us hope. Hope that one day s/he/it will do something. Just because it’s never done anything for the past 6,000 years doesn’t mean we should give up the hope that s/he/it might do something any day now. That’s just so negative and defeatist.

Congratulations to Jasvir on his marriage to his husband.

My civil partner and myself will be celebrating 40 years together later this year. I hope Jasvir will be every bit as happy together as we’ve been.

And in the Big News today from a Faith Perspective, is the Invisible Magic Friend a he or a she, or is s/he trans, or bi, or gay? This is so vital a question to the modern world.

S/he/it is the invisible Dark Matter, which is why physicists can’t find it. Yes, these ancient questions, now finally resolved in the 21st century by the Church of England, the one true Church headed by His Majesty King Charles III, is helping out those poor, befuddled, physicists.
