The greatest story ever told

HAVING read Damian Byrne’s column, I wonder what sort of idiot am I to spend €1.40 to read trash?

Now Damian has every right to throw stones at the Catholic Church, if that’s what he wants to do, but telling us that we should all be out celebrating its decline is pushing it.

And if that’s not enough, he goes on to liken the bible to a Barry’s tea bag (only the bible has more holes).

Damian considers bible stories a bit “wacky.” I wonder how these stories have lasted for over 2,000 years. Even now, as you read this, the bible is bringing hope and consolation to thousands around the world.
