- The Anglican Church is tearing itself apart over gay marriage as the relatively few sane people contend with the reactionaries and knuckle-dragging cro-magnons that flock to every major religion. This a rather revealing comment on the mentality of social conservatives:
"Anglicans are used to fudging things sometimes but I think this is a matter of such seriousness that fudge won't do," Bishop Nazir-Ali told the Telegraph, in an interview while a guest at the convention.
"Sometimes you have to recognise that there are two irreconcilable positions and you have to choose between them.
"The right choice is in line with the Bible and the Church's teaching down the ages, not some new-fangled religion we have invented to respond to the 21st Century."
In other words, it makes perfect sense to live according to the social mores of a tribe of bronze age barbarian nomads who believed disobedient children should be killed and a woman who fails to bleed on her wedding night should be taken outside and stoned to death by the groom's family.
