The first Scientology Church marriage took place in London a month ago. Because my City is right-on, up-to-the-minute, well-cool, adaptable, in with the hep-cats, on message and well cool. Oh, and a bit stupid.

This has been seen as an endorsement for the Church of Science-Fictology as a ‘true religion’. That L Ron Hubbard’s tale of intergalactic gods and spirits, sorry ‘Thetans’, that are eternal, live long and prosper despite the inevitable and almost irrelevant death of the temporary ‘bodies’ that house them. Which is a bit Bhuddist, so nothing that new. But scientology is basically full of shit and untestable premesis that certain high profile celebs, obviously lost souls previously searching for that ‘something’ that mere life and wealth and fame don’t provide, embrace and promote.

Thus was its acceptance as a ‘proper church’ and religion seen as a wonderful endorsement of its status.

Or, of course, there’s another way of looking at it.

That Scientology, based on a fictional model of immense ridiculousness, is actually no worse than the other religions in that respect. As in; what is the Bible if not a work of fiction written as an illustration? The ultimate allegorical tale. What’s the difference between Spaceships landing here 50 million years ago and Moses coming down the mountain with words ‘written by G-d’? Alien invasions, Red Sea parting, all the same to me. But if I was one of the apparent many who buy into that stuff in a big-time, literal kind’a way, I’d be royally pissed off that the powers that be give Scientology equal footing. This is an insult to Judeo-Christian stuff and I wish to protest. On heaven and Earth.

More importantly, Jose Morinho: fucked up Portugese tosser tangled up in his own mind-games, or just another shithead dork? I know, its an interesting question that philosophers will ponder forever.
“WE’VE BLOWN IT!!” He moaned after Chelsea lost yesterday. “We’re out of the running now, impossible for us to win the league”

YOU’RE TOP OF THE TABLE, YOU NOB! HOW IS IT IMPOSSIBLE TO WIN THE LEAGUE????? Even if Liverpool are getting as gittery as it appeard on Tuesdsay night (please G-d, please G-d, please G-d) even the Scousers aren’t stupid enough to become extra-nervous by some moronic increase in pressure by Jose’s idiotic words. Even Scousers.

And David Moyes. The prodigal son. The next Big Thing. Son of God. Manchester United were congratulating themselves all last summer after their super stunning signing of the manager everyone wanted. Six months later he’s a leper and they’re passing the blame around.
Thus Manchester United fans win my ‘Tosser of the Week’ trophy, for the 8th week running for their sheer arrogance in expecting to win everything every year and for their chronic short-term impatience. And for printing all those stupid banners.

Now come on Spurs,

Happy Sunday
