So they say...

Probably the best Magazine for thinking intelligent Christian reflection/discussion is Third Way. I've subscribed to it for years now. If you would like a journal that speaks into todays living without glib theology but sensible questions then go get it. It's great. Always something to grab you and stir you and make you realise there is something sensible, reasonable and life giving about having faith.

Anyway, now I've done some free advertising for them, there is a column of quotes every month from contemporary people in contemporary places. One from this week is Bill Gates who says:

Just in terms of allocation of time resources, religion is not very efficient. There's a lot more I could be doing on a Sunday morning.

And there is also one from Keith Richards from the Rolling Stones:

I read the Bible sometimes but it bores me to death. I just want to know what people find so bloody fascinating.

Both are indictment on Religion and church I suppose, but to me totally misses the point of faith (which isn't religion). But what do you think? Do they twist the knife, are they saying something, or are they images of spiritual people who have moved on from Christianity'?
