I'm sure I've mentioned before about a bloke of our former acquaintance who sincerely believed that Avril Lavigne was sending him secret messages in the titles of her songs; that people were being replaced by identical doubles and following him around; that he was Tony Blair's brother (he wasn't); and that there was an invisible dog, wearing a top hat, that people would keep hiding from him. I swear I'm not making any of this up. He was also a devout churchgoer, baptist if I remember correctly, but also a committed member of a spiritualist church and believed he had the power of healing at a touch. Oddly enough, after he'd spent some time in rehab to dry himself out somewhat of his chronic alcoholism, these things went away. They came back with a vengeance when he jumped off the wagon again.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
