Today is a big day in world religion. Can you think what it is?
That's right its the first day of the World Cup. Why is this a big day for religion? Well, think about it....
For the next 5 weeks people all over the world will be praying, shouting for God's help (or their equivalent), hurling threats of eternal damnation against opponents and shouting in praise when God rewards one country with victory. Of course, the Welsh have chosen not to take part - we'd only win it and that wouldn't be fair to everyone else.
Where will I be for this momentous occasion? Sat in a restaurant in Swansea celebrating the birthday and 1/2 birthday of some friends. I know, I know, what kind of a sports fan am I? Well one who agrees to go and then remembers afterwards that the World Cup starts. Never mind, they are worth it....
