I was killing off the last shreds of doubt in my mind about the existence of God, and that song was really seeing it off for me. But it didn't think I'd done it well. I'd thought I'd failed, I really did. Fundamentalism over here is real scary. There's a thing up the middle of America, which is like Iran with McDonalds'.
Partridge is clearly pleased.
They have a banned books list, this Christian Reich. It's the same sentiment that burned all those books in Germany during the '30s, and is the same sentiment used by Muslims marching around London destroying the Satanic Verses . This is the medieval age. The more knowledge, open learning, logic and reason we get which moves us away from the superstition of religion, the more the people with the superstition are going to get more militant and right about the fact that you're going to have to believe what they say or you're going to die. Sounds like the Roundheads to me.
