Organised religion is the single worst thing in the history of the world.  We all wish Mr Rushdie a return to good health.

+1 - It is becoming increasingly difficult to protect our hard won secular freedoms from the resurgence of global religious fervour and fanaticism.

I interviewed Larry Norman (quite a known Jesus rocker in his time) after one of his concerts, for publication in a student magazine. He has a song called why does the devil have all the good music?

Our TV leader boldy speaks
The words of Christ he tries to preach

Suffering in the world like you

Keep in a straight line, stay in tune
No need to worry, only fools
End up in prison of conscience cells
Or in asylums they help to build
