"They're your bloody rules, either stick to them or abandon the faith."

From tanngrisnir comes a pointer to a seven-minute Pythonesque monologue on religion by stand-up comic Marcus Brigstocke.

"I'd like to start this week with a request, and this one goes out to the followers of the three Abrahamic religions, to the Muslims, Christians, and Jews.  It's just a little thing, really, but do you think that when you've finished smashing up the world and blowing each other to bits and demanding special privileges while you do it, do you think that maybe the rest of us could sort of have our planet back?"

Wasn't Marcus Brigstocke the same chap who came up with the oft-quoted bit about "If video games influenced behavior, those of us who grew up in the 80s would all be running around darkened rooms listening to tinny repetitive electronic music and gobbling pills"?

I'll have to listen to the bit on religion later, as it's time for me to run out the door to work.
