While I agree with Icke's contention that anyone's beliefs are sovereign to oneself and become problematic only when one attempts to force those beliefs onto others, I feel that his anti-religious, especially anti-Christian, stance is based on a very simplistic understanding of religious beliefs and fails to account for those who are open to the idea that, in the Christian instance, there are many - and I expect a majority - who believe that a rigid, literal understanding of the Bible is simplistic and that the Bible does indeed allow for many of Icke's "supernatural" beliefs. I can't speak for those who adhere to the Koran nor to the Torah (and even less so to the Talmud), but the Bible is actually quite open ended when one reads it with the idea that it was written for men who had very little scientific knowledge and thus doesn't get into the minutia of "how the world(s) work".

I'd love to sit with Icke and give the Bible a good going over. My guess is that he would find that there's much more agreement with his beliefs and the Bible than he realises. For instance, "God said, "let there be light". Does Icke or anyone else believe that, in that instance, all of existence was "dark" and suddenly a light switched on? What if that verse was simply describing a thought that Icke himself has mentioned many times: maybe that verse is saying "First, God set the rules of the game. That the speed of light will be the limiter for this plane of existence". The "let there" being a mathematical term much like "let x=x"? Does that not coimport with Icke's own stated belief? I'm certainly open to that concept.
