← Previous Post: ‘David Voas, emeritus professor of social science at University College London, who thinks the YouGov figures are not representative, says if the quiet [Christian] revival was real, “we’d be looking for literally millions of new churchgoers, and they’d have to be very quiet indeed, not to say invisible, to have escaped our notice”.’

‘“Andrew is bovine, philistine and opines with great inanity and self-importance, while Charles is hugely sophisticated.”’

Sorry, but UD’s loving the verbal fallout. Keep it coming!
