I’m looking forward to Christmas It’s sentimental I know, but I just really like it I’m, I’m hardly religious I’d rather break bread with Dawkins than Desmond Tutu to be honest And yes I have all of the usual objections to consumerism The commercialisation of an ancient religion And the western-isation of a dead Palestinian Press-ganged into selling PlayStations and beer But I still really like it. I, I really like Christmas Though I’m not expecting a visit from Jesus I’ll be seeing my dad My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum They’ll be drinking white wine in the sun I’ll be seeing my dad My sisters and brother, my gran and my mum We’ll be drinking white wine in the sun. I don’t go for ancient wisdom I don’t believe just ’cause ideas are tenacious it means that they’re worthy I get freaked out by churches Some of the hymns that they sing have nice chords But the lyrics are dodgy And yes I have all of the usual objections to the mis-education of children forced into a cult institution And taught to externalise blame And to feel ashamed And to judge things as plain right and wrong But I quite like the songs. I’m not expecting big presents The old combination of socks, jocks and chocolate is just fine by me. ‘Cause I’ll be seeing my dad My brother and sisters, my gran and my mum They’ll be drinking white wine in the sun I’ll be seeing my dad My sisters and brothers, my gran and my mum They’ll be drinking white wine in the sun. And you my baby girl My jetlagged infant …

After his sell-out Sydney show at the Enmore Theatre on April 5th, Stefan turned up the next morning to chill out at the hotel and discuss touring, life, the universe and skepticism. Part 2: Participating in the discussion/debate online. Discerning between defending yourself and helping someone. Skeptics – even though all I do is write silly songs, I have an obligation to contribute to the dialogue if I do throw things out there. Humour highlights the absurdities. Dawkins and Hitchens, wicked but we are all participating. I am contributing information. Grand showdown gig – start the next show with a confession and a choir. Alternative medicine? Son and grandson of a surgeon. Will research and look for evidence about alternative medicine. Homeopathic remedies. Childhood vaccines. Science makes decisions about things while discarding human foibles. www.skepticzone.tv
