In religious debates there are three types of people: the first type is creationists, believing that God created everything; the second type is evolutionists, supporting the theory that everything has evolved from a simple organism; and the third type is ‘chameleons’, taking the name of a god when that works wonders, denouncing the same god when that makes any difference to their advantage and going for an entirely different god when that brings in more profit!
