“I thought it was me as an emperor penguin. They’re the natural inhabitant of Greenland don’t you know, and I have my eye on Greenland. Only the fake news could come up with that one  and say I posted myself as a tarot card.”

If you're the mother who was reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone aloud to your child on the LNER train from London to Edinburgh yesterday, one of my grown up children was listening and says you did the voices brilliantly❤️🥹

@Billy_Connolly This book is an absolute delight. In fact it’s a fucking gem (and I say that as a priest). Genuine warmth, humanity and well worn wisdom! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

@RoryStewartUK It’s baffled me since the first moment - back at the beginning of the first term. In fact, it’s confused the hell out of me from the start of the initial campaign. How? Why? What were they thinking? Staggering!

The perpetual question is how does an obviously deceitful, megalomaniacal and criminal undertaking succeed in persuading a significant part of the population that is working in their interests? ⁉️

@StephenKing I’m a funeral Celebrant and have just been to a deceased guy’s house (Chris) who was one of your biggest fans. A whole wall in his house is dedicated to your work. Is there an appropriate passage from a book of yours that I could read at this funeral? With respect 🙏🏻

@JohnCleese 100% I was always thrilled to be called ‘Heretic’ by conservative Christians when I served as a vicar. It reminded me that I hadn’t sold out to Churchianity!

The big problem with all organised religion is fundamentalism. Simple-minded people who believe the founder was down at their literal minded level, too I admire religions with a low percentage of fundmentalists Buddhism, for example. Sufism. Christian mysticism. Kabbalah. At the other end of the spectrum, Orthodox Islam, American Evangelists, Russian Orthodox, Orthodox Judaism... They tend to stand the orignal teaching on its head

Brave Canadian professor Gad Saad said it clearly: “It’s not radical Islam. It’s not Islamism. It’s not militant extremism. It’s Islam.” Drop a ❤️ and follow @GadSaad if you appreciate him for having the courage to say what others won’t.

One of the things I had not appreciated until I was in the room was how a flurry of misleading - and often fake statistics - embedded with a direct mafia demand for Greenland/“Iceland” - can simultaneously brutalise the world order while also being repetitive, flat and boring.

For ANYONE to use at home. A little Christmas ceremony to honour our departed loved ones. And any other ‘deaths’ we’ve experienced. Have a candle ready to light and place safely somewhere! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 youtu.be/Skmy82S6PiM

@Philip_Goff Apologists aren't trying to convince us. They are trying to convince themselves.

@Philip_Goff Christians apologists can be mighty tiresome in their caricatures of those they disagree with. When I was a vicar I always felt the biggest threat to the church (being taken seriously) was the church itself. I often found more genuine Christ-likeness on the outside!
