Hilton shatters the God delusion

Paris_gets_out_of_jail

This amusing Paris Hilton story, reminds me of the very good joke I heard last week on Radio 4:

Richard Dawkins and Chritopher Hitchens must be feeling pretty stupid. They say they can't discover any evidence of God, then Paris Hilton goes to jail and finds him within 24 hours.

Comments

I have lived in India, where it is not at all unusual for people to punctuate conversational exchanges with "God is great," and I have lived in the United States, where many regard God and the Constitution (in that order) as the most important things in life. Of the countries I have lived in, God is probably least mentioned in England, except of course in the usual conversational phrases.
