In all creatures, indeed, both high and low, the glory of God shines, but nowhere has it shone more brightly than in the cross. -John Calvin @JohnCalvinDaily
Cricket has many of the right ingredients for a religion. It has men
wearing hats, arcane rules, and bizarre names, which only a select few
are able to understand. It has someone called a twelfth man, a council
that decides doctrine, and a shrine at a place called Lords. It even
has its own sacred text: Wisden. Unofficially described as 'The Bible
of Cricket,' it weighs a much as a Bible and contains just as many
unpronounceable names. And can it be mere coincidence that the great
plinth at Stonehenge is exactly 22 yards away from the dolmen whose
shape is reminiscent of a set of stumps and bails? Like religion,
cricket can also be hard to appreciate, tedious and require only our
nominal attention. It was Lord Mancroft who wrote that it was a game
which The English, not being spiritual people, had invented in order
to give themselves some conception of eternity.

"We had one UK scientist, Philip Stott, who has said there are quite literally hundreds of factors governing global climate. For the UN to pick one politically-selected factor -- CO2 -- and then try to tweak it at the margins and then come up with some temperature goal 50-100 years in the future, is akin to scientific nonsense. You could call it modern day witchcraft." -Marc Morano, quoted
