I've not really been paying too much attention to the 'Church of England appoints gay Bishop shock' story mainly because, as an atheist, I find theological arguments to basically consist of grown men arguing over who knows the most about their imaginary friend. However, Giles Fraser did make a nice little statement in his Guardian article today, and it'd be a shame if it was to be missed:
Everything before the but is bullshit. It's a useful hermeneutic rule when dealing with sentences of the type: "I'm not racist, but..."Can we call it Fraser's Law? A quick Googling doesn't show it being used that much beforehand.
