Internet comment of the day

In response to Melanie Reid's Times Online column advocating the continued presence of the chaplaincy in hospitals, a reader posted:

I'm unemployed. I really dont need God. Unemployment has given me a lot more time to think about what nonsense religion and god is. We do need a common value system but religion is the ultimate Ponzi. Invest now get returns in eternity.

I'm not sure why it caught me, but it did. It's oddly poetic, and for me, as a Christian, a bit unnerving. And not just because the reader sees religion as something akin to investment.
