The world is going to cunt. It’s official.
There’s now even a survey to prove it. The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life surveyed 35,000 Americans to discover their attitude to religion.
84% said they were affiliated to a religion.
26% are evangelicals; 23% Catholic.
Interestingly, but this is something that is probably way beyond those in the White House or anyone likely to take up residence, the Muslim population was only 0.5% – interesting as it is significantly below that in the UK and most of Western Europe.
So, at least 49% of the world’s superpower believe that the only reason we’re not walking round stark bollock naked is because a woman, who had been carved from a living man’s rib, was persuaded to eat an apple. By a talking snake.
But most concerning was the introduction to this report on CBS News, which said that it was to discover if America was becoming a “secular, morally void place”. The notion that those two concepts are not automatically conjoined seems wholly alien to American journalists.

If you wanted to look on the bright side, you could say that the world is getting better, because these figures re: religion must surely be down on, say, 50 years ago.
Connection with religion or not, the world, is however no doubt “morally void” and going to cunt. The religion which is to blame is of course the most popular religion on earth – the worship of money.
Hang on a minute. Didn’t you recently marry Mrs. Bearded Baby… in a church?
