Divine Intervention?

Amidst all the VIPs, few noticed a delegation of humanists who visited Stormont today to discuss the need for our politicians to respect diversity in their decision making. They presented the Alliance's Stephen Farry with a copy of Richard Dawkins' bestseller "The God Delusion".

I'd like to be a fly on the wall should they be able to arrange a meeting with our First Minister who began his speech with the phrase “How true are the words of Holy Scripture, ‘We know not what a day may bring forth’ before going on to quote King Solomon.

Seeing as I'm a Northern Irish man abroad...well, London...its always good keeping up to date with home news so, remembering you said you might wind this blog down when devolution was restored, this is my plea that you don't!

In a year or two I can see Dawkins writing another book called "The Salmond delusion" subtitled "How I became the big fish in a small pond".

Salmond and Sturgeon - it all seems very fishy to me.
