A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it; or offer your own version in return.

You talk to God, you're religious. God talks to you, you're psychotic.

Who needs a meaning anyway, I'd settle anyday for a very fine view.

Finally, a reason to mention ITV in a positive light:
... or even the non-religious spectrum, but hey. :hum:[ITV] added the soap was set in modern society and "represents views from all sides of the religious spectrum."

Apparently god is "supernatural". They complained about that 
It's a piece of piss to be cowiz, but it's not cowiz to be a piece of piss. Or something like that.

It'll still go nowhere IMHO. And if it does, then it will be more grist to our mill. Can't lose ...

Re: Ken Barlow - not so boring after all!
Yep - I thoroughly expect the complaints to be thrown out. About a quarter of the UK population professes no religion. Allowing moslem, christian, jewish and hindu characters to mention their beliefs as a part of a popular soap that is watched by a cross-demographic audience, without representing the non-religious group fairly (including allowing them to state their lack of beliefs) is bonkers.
