Monday 26th February 2007. Richard Ingrams

I read, as I always read (now there's an example of English having too many homonyms), Richard Ingrams' column in the Saturday Independent. It is undoubtedly one of the best columns available in an English newspaper.

One thing he wrote about this time was how many thousands of people, often very clever and talented people, have adhered to Christianity down the ages and into our times, and how this seems to be overlooked and not appreciated by the prevailing atheism of the moment.

He has a point. However, I feel someone should point out the obvious reality that it is perfectly possible for millions of people to believe something and for it still to be wrong.
