Dawkins and the Knights Templar

The Knight’s Templar or ‘The Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon’ as they are known in lerned circles, what became of them and where are they today?

The true cross, the Holy Grail, the authentic shroud of Turin, where are these relics and where are their pious guardians? I find it absurd to think that our LORD and saviour would allow these sacred artefacts to rust away in some ancient cellar, or to go to waste beneath the arid dunes of Palestine.

It was Bernard de Clairvaux in 1118, that first decreed the Order was to go underground in times of woe. As the power of the Catholic Church waned during the reformation and the enlightenment, these noble templar’s still stood guard, unseen like seraphim casting their protective gaze over their divine treasure.

So what of today? Bernard was no fool, he predicted the rise of Newton and Descartes, of Huxley, and Darwin and all those defamers of truth, that have a dozen heads each with a blasphemous name engraved upon it. Under his auspices a few templar’s of outstanding intellect were to begin their righteous masquerade, they would cloak themselves with the knowledge of eminent scientists, sceptics and doubting philosophers. They would pretend to be of the ilk of those very men they despised. They would pretend to be scientists, men of learning, and they would hide the grail and the true cross, where nobody would think to look, among the houses of those who had torn down Europe's churches brick by brick.

Richard Dawkins is one of these dignified men, I suspect he has the true cross in his basement, and when, (under circumstances I deem too banal to explain) I took off his shirt around a year ago, I saw a strange mark etched into his goodly frame, it appeared to me as a branding, a tau-cross. This cross belongs in a museum; we should reclaim it from him. 

Pious old fool
