As a former BBC journalist I don& #39;t relish pointing out the casual on-air dismissal of sincere religious experience, but I felt @bbcnickrobinson on @BBCr4today this Good Friday morning did just that, interviewing Hilton Murray-Philipson, a coronavirus survivor (transcript follows)

“...one of the very powerful images I had in that moment of great distress and struggle was the image of Jesus calming the storm on the sea of Galilee, and that just came to me, and I would like to think that was Jesus Christ coming to me, and helping me in my hour of need.”

Nick Robinson: “Well, it’s so powerful that you have that, partly, I have to say, partly because of the drugs you have to be on in order to be on a ventilator machine, [Hilton heard laughing] which plays tricks with the mind doesn’t it, really."

Christian faith is not about & #39;tricks with the mind& #39;, in intensive care or anywhere else. Please can this be respected, even if not agreed with, not least on Good Friday.
