I’m working and listening to Richard Bacon (no sign of the operation yet) hosting a debate between Dr Evan Harries and someone else whose name has escaped me about blasphemy, and the good doctor’s proposal to decriminalise blasphemy. There was a wonderful call a moment ago from Mary in merseyside about the Church of England bias inherent in blasphemy law ending with her views on whether the messiah ever found himself in a state of priapic euphoria – prompting the man that isn’t the good doctor to much exhalation.
So, a poll:
Who said Radio Bloke was dumbing down? Bacon becomes more Partridge like by the night.
I’ll take Kazantzakis’s theories above those of “Mary from Merseyside” any time. If they’re good enough for Martin Scorsese they’ll do for me.
Mary – perhaps surprisingly – shared that view.
I’m more a Samarago man myself
