There is no current religion of peace as far as I'm aware.
I hope to be corrected.

Due to a global paper shortage, folks are advised to place their Holy Bibles on or in their toilet-roll holders. Already across the world these books are fast disappearing.

Said Private Eustace Ken Ian Prentice "I was caught short while in Iraq and the Holy Bible was all I had. It was either that or my Rizzlas and it was a case of priorities"

Some right-wing fundamentalist groups have threatened to kill anyone who they know has used one of these books in such a fashion. "Do you think God cares whether or not you have a grubby bum?" they say, "when at stake is the soiling of his very own word?"

The Deputy Primeminister who announced the recommendation was unavailable for comment. "He is busy on personal business on Salisbury Plain" said his personal secretary, "he'll be back immediately after the next solstice, whenever that is."

Prince Charles just shrugged, saying that the Bibles were never environmentally friendly anyway "Look what they've done to the Amazon rain forests" he said, "I think God would prefer books were destroyed rather than trees."

Finally, from Nottingham, Irena Marriott who stood in the general election as a UKIP candidate and who is also a medium said "Sir Spike Milligan is laughing his socks off, bless him."
