Hold it right there. There is a third category, the barking mad Green extremists and their Gaia religion. As in Bob Brown winning the tumultuous applause of his 'fellow Earthians' at the Greens convention.

From The Spectator,
Earth to Bob: your intergalactic phone is ringing
How should we respond to the Green leader’s cosmological preoccupations?

Unlike the boring Christians, the Australian Greens can take a satisfying dump and have their whole Gaia religion in their hands. Recycled too. Who needs a cross, eh Greens? Just find the nearest scat, link arms fellow Earthians and sing Kumbaya while waiting for Bob Brown's little green men to jet in from Mars.

Runner doesn't think he's perfect. That would be conceited and arrogant.

He just thinks he is far superior to everyone.

Cheers,

Peter Costello is a former Federal Treasurer and deputy Liberal leader.
onthebeach, I see your article was written by that conservative fool Coastello. The bloke who took his bat and ball and peed off home, because Little Johnny wouldn't give him the top job. Lets all be thankful to god about that one. On second thoughts he should have stayed on, then we would have had the Abbott and Costello comedians wanting to run the show.
Why do conservative believe in god? It fits in well with their mumbo jumbo philosophy. You think The Greens are crazy, what do you think of people who believe that the ridiculous fairy tales in the bible are true, are you anther runner?. Lucky for us Goldilocks and the three bears wasn't in there, otherwise you would be telling us that it is all a true story, along with Jack and the beanstalk and Old Mother Hubbard.
Some believers, particularly in the catholic church, get on their hands and knees in front of some old pedophile priest and pray to their non existent god, how ridicules is that? Were you ever an alter boy? Glad I wasn't, although Fr.Fukemup wanted me to join once, fortunately I resisted the temptation

That is a tad unfair, Tony Lavis...

"He just thinks he is far superior to everyone."

Not 'far'.

'

He just thinks he is far superior to everyone.'

and Tony is arrogant enough to sprout what he believes others think.

And, runner is always sprouting what he feels
other should believe.
