People Who Are Pro Smacking Children Say,

I Had A Longing For Ritual, Something I Could Cling To, A Routine To Make Me Feel Well And Contented. I Hoped That Reading Bible Commentaries And Theological Critiques Would Nudge Me Closer To Some Kind Of Absolute That I Could Hold Up As A Torch To Light My Way.

Comedy And Tragedy Are Two Sides Of The Same Coin. A Talent In One Area Might Also Lead To A Predisposition In The Other.

The Jokes Are Great But What Really Matters For A Comedian Is His Performance, His Whole Attitude, And The Laughs That He Gets Between The Jokes Rather Than On Top Of The Jokes.

But I Like Going To Church. If You've Been Brought Up In The Church Of England, It Feels Like Visiting An Elderly Relative. And I Think It's Important That Part Of The Kids' Education Is Knowing About The Bible.

If I've Inadvertently Become Some Sort Of Role Model For Failed Comedians, Then It's Really Backfired Very Badly On Me.
