The Magi Remixed

I pass this on because it pretty much encapsulates my view of the matter ...
" ... They looked something like a cross between yuppies and gypsies, sort of smartly dressed but with lots of jewellery and strings of crystals round their necks and stuff. “Excuse us,” they said, “but we're the staff from the Mythic Reality New Age Enlightenment Centre in Smith Street, and we're looking for the manifestation of the divine that has appeared just around here.”
“What are you talking about?” replied the startled regulars at the church.
“Well, we're not sure of the exact details, but Sasha here was reading the Tarot Cards this morning, and the cards clearly said that an omnipotent divine presence had just appeared as a baby in Collins Street. We were a bit surprised at first, but then our brother Moonlight here spent half an hour calculating the astrological chart for today, and sure enough, there was an unusual conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter last night, and that occurring under the sign of Capricorn confirms what the cards had said. So we've come with a good supply of healing and empowering crystals as a gift for the baby.”"

 I got a response from my MP which got me kind of mad. You'll see why as I reproduce it here. Apologies for the strange changes in types...
