Colin, I was thinking of Don Cupitt and his followers, and there are
more of them within the Christian church than they will ever admit in
public. I attended some of his lectures and heard him say explicity
that he doesn't believe in god, and nor do many priests. He sees god
as a "metaphor" as he puts it, a human creation. Cupitt is not just
an academic - he was ordained in 1959.

i ahev heard some intelligent priests say the reject the virgin
birth, the notion that Jesus was god, and all manner of other

weilding a stick'.
