    It's more real than her manufactured indignant self-righteous outrage at someone having the bare-faced cheek to consider the church less than perfect?

    There's probably a joke about arguments having support in there too, but I'm a busty busy chap...

    but when the Blessed Virgin Mary is equated to an Iron age peasant I feel matters have gone too far.

    Interesting that such a book would get such a review. It’s a mean-spirited attack on everything that many people hold dear – their Faith. And what’s even worse, it attack our very Irishness, our very history and it maliciously derides those who led us to freedom. I have read it, and if the reviewer found it beautifully written, he may very well be right. But blasphemy is still a crime here – and if such an attack were to be made on Muslims I have no doubt that there would be a prosecution. I don’t favour banning books, but when the Blessed Virgin Mary is equated to an Iron age peasant I feel matters have gone too far.
    You don't support banning books but want a prosecution against an author? As bad as book burning to be blunt.

    Those invoking the word 'Irishness' are usually using it as a cover for petty-minded bigotry. Anyone different from themselves is somehow defined as 'less Irish' and therefore inferior.

    So if the book attacks that sort of 'Irishness', then good!

    I'm partial to your abracadabra,

    I'm raptured by the joy of it all.

    It would be nice if you made clearer what book you were on about....presumably its this one.
