Churches aghast at teen critics not being slung in jail
We can't have children calling us freaks, lisps frock wearing man with funny hat...
A 14 year old boy who held a placard up saying "The Church of England is not an English church - it is a medieval construct housing a Roman-inspired revival of an historically unsubstatiated Jewish folk myth" has escaped prosecution after the Crown Prosecution Service said it could not in all honesty charge a boy with being too much of a smart arse who cannot write snappy placards.
This follows a wave of teenage rebellion that has swept the UK where earnest young boys have placed themselves in danger of being labelled rotten eggs by pointing out the painfully bloody obvious about many religions and their beliefs.
In Edinburgh, 15 year old Donald Farquar Hamilton, was charged under obscenity laws after he stood outside a Church of Scotland with a placard which read,
"Masturbation did not make my palms go all hairy."
The Procurator Fiscal decided to drop the case as a precedent had been set only the previous week in Oban when all charges were dropped against Ronnie McMurtrie, a 12 year old schoolboy who had sat outside his local Wee Free church with a banner above him saying, "If yer so free why can't you play football on a Sunday? Or go on a ferry?"
Sociologists say teenagers are more likely to point out inconsistencies and absurdities about religion because they are less cowed by authority than their parents or previous generations.
"In short, they are not as thick as we were," said Patrick O'Donnell, a self-confessed Christian who admits to utterly believing in a bloke who rode a donkey whilst performing great miracles and attracted adoring followers until he failed miserably to extracate himself from a piece of wood a bunch of soldiers had nailed him to.
Meanwhile in London, another boy had charges of inciting religious hatred dropped after he held up a placard calling the Church of Scientology a 'cult'.
The Church of Scientology was created in the USA by a Science-fiction writer who invented an alternative to conventional medical and psychiatric methodology and treatment called Dianetics, which critics have likened to a form of mind control and brain-washing. In 1952, after losing the rights to Dianetics following bankruptcy, he re-invented Dianetics as a religion.
Unfortunately, that is too long to make a snappy placard out of.
