It's not often that I feel led to delve into matters ecclesiastical, but Lockdown Septics have I think hit a nail squarely upon the head.
My own religious affiliation was to the C of E (church of everyone) in whose loving embrace I was brought up - and very thankful I am for that upbringing as it has been from time to time comforting to remember the prayers and bible passages that were by rote inevitably instilled into that mysterious space between my ears.
My own feeling is that in times to come when the true nature of the religious hierarchies of the various Churches becomes public knowledge, those worshippers of the said Churches will be at a loss, whilst those who put their faith in the true God will have their faith confirmed.
Lockdown Sceptics however are pointing to an unsuspected new Church on the block, to which the old C of E has implicitly given its blessing. The new Church of the NHS, with millions of worshippers putting their trust in government-cum-big-pharma quasi monopoly provision (how could that fail?), is now all but formally consecrated as our new National Religion of default.
Indeed it has its many adherents, but when the time comes for its true nature to be exposed, the followers of the Church of the NHS will be likewise at a loss, whilst those who follow the true God of Good Health will be unfazed.
