“The Bible has no doubt had much influence in its time, but it provides very few laughs. None, in fact.”

“When synchronised swimming first appeared on TV, we laughed very heartily, and I, for one, applauded the decision to introduce humour into the Olympics.”

“The history of the relationship between comedy and swimming is short indeed. Of course it is always funny when someone falls into water, but that's about it.”

“There are many pointers in the Bible concerning the rightness, the goodness, the beauty, the justice, the preciousness of racial harmony and diversity.”

“When I have the Bible memorised, then I'll be able to go and read a couple other books.”

“I vehemently oppose clearing out a peaceful protest for a photo op, especially a photo op that makes a mockery of a place of worship and the uses the Bible as a prop. It's just wrong.”
