Atheists cannot drive in England

I was just thinking about a technicality we have here in England where you cannot drive a vehicle on the road without at least 3rd party insurance and road tax; and you cannot get road tax without insurance.  You can’t get insurance without agreeing to a policy that states “acts of god” are not covered. For agreeing to that is agreeing to there being a god, which in itself is like asking anyone to surrender their entire belief system over something trivial.

Let’s put it this way, what if the policy stated this:

You may only drive your vehicle when its tyres are not making contact with the ground, or the day of the week you choose to drive does not end with the letter “Y”

You’d sign it regardless, because it’s daft and illogical, since all days of the week end in y and the vehicle would not be able to move without making contact with the road. So in order to get your car legal as an atheist, you have to lie. How corrupt is that?

    I never thought about that before.
    but that certainly is pretty screwed up.
