Faith

Hocus Pocus, originally uploaded by seadipper.

Tony Blair, newly received into the Catholic Church, is considered a great catch by some. He has set up an organisation called the "Faith Foundation" and gave a talk about it recently in Westminster Cathedral. The idea is that people of all faiths should be able to get along nicely together.

I like this idea of abstract faith. It is completely inclusive. You can have faith in bags of stones and feathers, trolls, chicken's entrails, Wicca, the Man in the Moon, the Duke of Edinburgh, lumps of stone, the US $. The possibilities are endless. What diversity shall we enjoy and how well shall we all get along together in a spirit of mutual understanding!

Only somehow I think the main beneficiary will be the one depicted with horns and a spiked tail.
