Normally I hate most modern art e.g. that statue of the pregnant woman with deformed limbs that was in trafalgar square. But actually I don't think this one is an eye-sore at all- anyone with me?

2. 'Anonymous' takes anti-Scientology to the streets

I had an interesting thought the other day- imagine if this guy Hubbard was a secret atheist and just created scientology to show that it is possible to make up a load of crap and brainwash people into believing it as truth, thereby showing the farce of organised religion. This agenda would only be revealed to the top ranks, and when they hit say 100 million members or something, they will break their silence and come out to the world- 'ha ha - we made this shit up and people BELIEVED it!!'

Probably wishful thinking, but seriously, how stupid are people?

"The beliefs of Scientologists are no more irrational than those of Christians or Muslims"

I third that

3. Clegg 'does not believe in God'

Is it possible that stressing that his children are being brought up Catholic is simply a way of not losing votes from Christian voters?

As many people have commented, sending them to a Catholic school might be an eye opener and as long as they have an atheist father there shouldn't be a problem with indoctrination. So is it possible that he is comfortable with this situation in order to help his chances in an election? In raising his children Catholic he is proving his tolerance of religion - and in doing so preventing a loss of future votes.
