No reason why he should've been, of course, but I take your point completely.

But you believe in equal rights for women and gays, Sir C! That makes you a raving pinko in redg's book, I imagine. Pwopah old-school conservative is redg.

EDIT: You probably don't even believe in God!

Well yes I do, but I accept that birds can't be as good at some things as men because they don't have the same physical strength or ability to throw. Also, in some circumstances they can become all emotional about shít. So having chicks on the front line, for example, would be a step too far for me.

I'm all over the bumders, as you know, but I'm not really happy about gay marriage. Adam and Eve, innit. Not Adam and Steve.

As for God, I remain agnostic. Or I think so, anyway.

None of these opinions is leftist or rightist, is it? Surely they're just... common sense?

In fairness, it's not me whining about being suicide-bombed or white-vanned in the streets.

Are you agnostic about the existence of Zeus and Thor as well? What about the fairies at the bottom of your garden?

Sure. But the context here is "rightists" believing these things go without saying and "leftists" thinking that these are terrible anomalies and injustices that need to be wiped from history regardless of any common sense aspects.

Essentially, it's the singer that's important here, rather than the song.

You are questioning my agnosticism on logical grounds there, aren't you?

You do appreciate how fúcking stupid that is, don't you?

What, being illogical? Yes I do.

So stop being stupid and just tell people you don't believe in God ('atheist' being as redundant a term as 'agnostic')
