I’m considering putting out a line of t-shirts and hats that just say ‘FUCK GOD/S’. Multicultural, non-discriminatory religious hatred for the fashion concious rational thinker. Probably best worn in groups of 20 or more at appropriate events.

What next, then? We've had an ice-cream cone with a logo or whatever on it that, if you turn it sideways, squint a bit and use some imagination, looks like the Arabic symbol for Allah; we have the Rooney cross, which looks a bit like this and a bit like that (and I may be wrong but weren't crosses around before the Romans used them for barbaric executions?). So who's going to be the next cartoonist, architect, graphic designer, painter, advertising-logo artist, performance artist, sculptor or just doodler to be hauled before and fall foul of the righteous, unelected judges who lie in wait for such transgressions from what is Decent and Respectful, just because someone, somewhere, thinking he's doing a Rorschach test, will see shape in it? Even if you fart, someone will say, 'Oi! That sounds like the last trump! Can't do that. It's offensive to Christians.' Burp and your Muzzie neighbour will come around saying, 'How dare you imitate a pig? Do you not know that pigs are offensive to us good Muslims?' What if you wave your arms about so quickly you look like that Hindu god with six arms? The possibilities are endless. Jerry Springer: The Opera could begin to look positively tame.

“Rooney is part Woden, the Norse god of war, part the suffering but triumphant Christ.”

There you go, he’s following the old Christian tradition of half-inching bits from other, older religionsand passing them off as Christian. Seems pretty devout to me.

“Our overall aim is to win the nation for Christ…”

…in the forthcoming Christball World Cup! Tune in to ITV in the Autumn to see representatives of silly fundies from all over the world go head-to-head in a race to see who can produce the most staggeringly insincere fulminations for the newspapers.

Stephen Green is just pissed because Rooney’s been dating his mum.

I saw the Xian cross in the advert long before the George X and had a good chuckle. I find it even funnier that the Xians are insulted.
