After sitting through an inordinately long sermon this morning (our regular priest was absent, and had saddled us with a cruelly slow-talking replacement), and a hymn that completely defeated me with its lack of discernible tune and rhyme scheme, I was feeling the need for a little light-hearted heresy.

So I give you Eddie Izzard, executive transvestite, and all-around hysterical British standup comic. His thoughts on religion, and specifically the origin of the Anglican church (and therefore of my little Episcopal church) seemed apt for today.

It's a longish clip, but guaranteed to make you laugh. Unless you're easily offended, or utterly lacking a sense of humor. If that's the case--you should probably just stop reading my blog entirely.
