Here are (paraphrases of) a couple of the more interesting / scary quotes from people I've been chatting to in the last week or so at college:
It's odd, you know, I think "Wow, [insert name of college here], bright hope for the future of the Church of England". But then I look around, and it's like, us."
And yes, I know that inasmuch as there is hope for the future of the C of E, it's God, not us.
Before I was a Christian, I had a load of Muslim friends who used to talk to me a lot about their faith. So I started looking into Islam, but I realised that their idea of God is exactly the sort of thing I'd have come up sitting in an armchair for fifteen minutes, so it couldn't possibly be true.

Here are a couple of things said to me at University by people trying to convert me to Christianity.
"Well, God used to do lots of crazy stuff. I just like to think he's mellowed out in the last couple of thousand years."
Good eh! Another one.
"I like the New testament a lot, but I'm not so sure about the Old Testament. I don't quite get all the smiting and stuff."
