Wrote "Queer as Folk" (and others) - got prestige in the TV industry -
brought back "Doctor Who". How great is that?

Plus - surely the Doctor is an atheist? He's from a much more advanced
civilisation than ours. As if Time Lords - with their god-like
super-advanced technologies - are going to believe in superstition...

Maybe as an advanced being he knows that there *is* a god for an
absolute fact. That would be a fine reason to believe.

Your argument is much like the arguments that the doctor "must" be a
vegetarian, or "must" be gay, or "must" be straight. THey all boil
down to:

1. I believe X to be true.
2. The Doctor is better than me
3. Therefore the Doctor would not believe something that is false, and
would believe something that is true.
4. THerefore the doctor must agree with me on every issue.




It wasn't an argument; it was a suggestion. Get over yourself!
