Second Thought for the day

Comedia Religión y espiritualidad

Temporada 1

Jayne Manfredi - Unimaginatively manipulative desperation from Anglican

Catastrophic attempt to string together meaning from Manfredi. She opens with seemingly dishonest assessment of John Lennon's Imagine. Manages to troll Philip Larkin in same sentence. Gets worse.

John Studzinski - Very poor advice on what, and how, to fear

After quite a lot of rubbish about what in the world we should fear, John Studzinski makes outlandish claims on channeling his soul as an effective means to handle fear.

Daniel Greenberg - Unsound claims about the existence of words from late idiosyncratic rabbi

Greenberg delivers a harmless broadcast but reinforces a hypercorrection from an age of pedantic linguistic elitism. Oh, and a small case of exaggeration.

Jennifer Smith - A merciless tour through how Christianity tortured a word to death

Listen to Methodist preacher, Jennifer Smith, repeatedly demonstrate a failure to understand mercy. Which is forgivable, given what her brethren did to the poor word.

Rev Martin Wroe - surnames, just-so stories and other muppetry from the volunteer vicar

Martin reveals his indifference to his audience by making a very silly claim about the origins of surnames that even a moment's self doubt would have prevented.

Ibrahim Mogra - Mogra takes purile banality to a whole new level

This guy should run a course on platitudinous guff. He's a world-class waste of airtime. Listen to him first make some pretty grave errors on the conflation of aesthetic beauty with some generic take on human goodness. Then listen to him get even more useless on the subject of waste. Which is surprisingly apt..

Catherine Pepinster - The Catholic appropriation of May Day

Injecting truth into Pepinster's account: why a pope wanted May Day for himself, rather than let communists have all the fun.

Giles Fraser - scything through an awful muddle from Kew Vicar on technology

West London vicar broadcasts hapless rumination on power cuts, the worship of technology, 'older gods' and 'human pleasures'. It's quite the cluster.

Theos think-tank leader, Chine McDonald, demonstrates poor grasp of fact, reason and belief

Chine McDonald dabbles in subjects about which she clearly knows little (reason and faith in the Christian church) before regurgitating suspicious survey data as fact without a moment's hesitation.

Priest claims England's Catholic roots have prevented English dictatorship

Notes on Thoughts for the Day from 21-28 April. Tilby doesn't disappoint: revealing just how her English and Anglican exceptionalism have impaired her ability to think. Jennifer Smith joins in with incoherent statements about faith moments and a blatant example of belief presented as fact. Join us in the week that saw the end of Easter and the end of a Pope.
