' No Christian case’
PA ' Palmerston North Christians do not have the right to expect their religion to be immune from investigation, and criticism, the Rationalist Association’s national spokesman, Mr D. Miller has said in Palmerston North, Commenting on the recent Christian outcry over the McPhail ond Gadsby television satire on religion, Mr Miller said the association could see no reason why Christians should object. “Why should Christians demand that programmes like The Herd’ and ’Open
P Ipit’ be shown as of right while trying to ban entertaining comedy sketches such as those produced by Messrs McPhail and Gadsby?” Mr Miller asked. “If this God exists and was responsible for the creation of man, then he is also totally responsible for man’s sense of humour,” he said.
