Confusion at this afternoon's Beaker Symposium session. Discussing whether culture should determine Church morality, and Marston remarked that "God only speaks in Dalek". Which would,. at least, fit in with Eccles's experience at the Catholic Synod that is apparently going on at the minute.
Turns out that Marston was trying to be pretentious and repeat what he'd heard somewhere else, that God only speaks in dialect. However, reading earlier books of the Bible - maybe he's got a point. "Exterminate! Exterminate!" would seem to be a reasonable precis of the instructions to Joshua.
Of course He does . . . Ex comm -u-ni-cate! Ex comm-u-ni-cate!
