Super, god!

"I'm normally not a praying man, but if you're up there, please save me Superman."

That's Homer Simpson's religious tenacity at large, but look deeper and you'll find more than your fair share of reality in his plea.

Imagine you, mum and dad shuffling off on Super Sunday to pray for a just man of steel, one who is for equality and can never really die. Imagine that, with your toy figure in your hand and your eyes clenched shut in some hope He can hear your mumblings amongst a room full of craving mumblers.

Well, my thinly veiled attempt at bringing some light to the world of religion may not be a work of enlightening genius - but it says a whole lot more about the world we live in now, than any 800 year old book.

Spurred on by personal events, a red-flagged book list, an inspiring city, and Larry Davis' latest work - Religulous - my own ideas are being put to paper in a series of writings I'm hoping to expand. Look out for the name 'Swison Nofton'.
