Spring started this morning at 7.48 am with Bishop Andres Põder of the Estonian Evangelical Lutheran Church delivering a sermon on ETV's morning television programme Terevisioon denouncing the false god that people in Estonia have taken to worshipping of late."The only god Estonians know is money, but at least they've started to realise that it's not the only source of happiness in the world," his bishopness said. He added that they have achieved a level of wealth at which they should stop and take stock, before they burn out completely in their quest to be better than everyone else.
Interestingly, Põder did not seem to be on a recruitment drive (not that one would be very successful in a country as areligious as Estonia) and becomes the first religious leader in a long time who has said anything I actually agree with.

Not even the Dalai Lama? Or Rowan Wililams?
But yeah.
Well the Dalai Lama yes, but I haven't actually heard anything he's said in ages. I saw him in Tallinn though in 2001 and was amazed by him.
