ARIANNE SHERYN IS ADDRESSING A CROWD OF ENRAGED FANATICS.

ARIANNE

My brother and sisters today we celebrate a great victory in our war on the ignorant religious masses. We have won the right to out annoying smart arsed remarks about not believing in God on buses.

CROWD GOES SILENT

FANATIC1

Is that it?

ARIANNE

What more do you want?

FANATIC2

Well Al Quaeda have suicide bombers.

FANATIC1

That's not going to work is it. Blow your self up and get 72 virigns in heaven, oh wait we don't believe in heaven.

ARIANNE

Well we could go door to door like the Jehovis Witness's?

FANATIC1

That's an even more ridiculous idea. Do you want to talk about God? No. Great stuff, keep up the good work.

FANATIC2

Oh this is a bit disappointing, we're reduced to passive aggressive puns on public transport.

FANATIC1

We could appoint a pope, maybe Richard Dawkins? He'd look great in a red cloak, scowling at people.

FANATIC2

You and ruddy Richard Dawkins, you've fancied him ever since the God Delusion.

ARIANNE

You know what I've had it. I'm going to become a Budhist or something, at least they get reincarnated.

THE DOOR TO THE ROOM OPENS IN WALKS A SUICIDE BOMBER.

ARIANNE

Good Lord a suicide bomber!

FANATIC1

Is he Al Quaeda?

FANATIC2

Renegade Catholic fundamentalist?

BOMBER

No I'm a radical agnostic. Die in the name of God who may or may not exist, Alla what ever!

No he's the head of the Atheist alliance Ariel Sharon I suspect is only interested in atheists; if they have pies or are Palestinians or Palestinians with pies.

No one's blown up a bus in Israel in an age, more a reference to the rather silly campaign for atheists to put up adverts saying there is no God on buses.

Sorry Sooty,but this went read over my head.Its probaly very funny and I'm just stupid. :|

Sooty,

I like the idea. I was confused by the 'out' which should have been 'put' in the first line of dialogue.

It must be frustrating for militant atheists/agnostics (I always get those 2 mixed up) like Dawkins that everyone else gets to make Grand gestures but if you champion scepticism all you get is sarcky gits.

There's definitely something in this. Perhaps the militant has a sarcasm bomb? 'prepare to be satirised in the name of...etc.'

Back to the drawing board with you foul sketch!

Thanks guys.
