Oh Jesus No! Cameron Plays The God Card

What a hypocritical sonofabitch.

"The absence of any real accountability, or moral code, allowed some bankers Prime Ministers and politicians Presidents to behave with scant regard for the rest of society.

And when it comes to fighting violent extremism, the almost fearful passive tolerance of religious extremism that has allowed segregated communities to behave in ways that run completely counter to our values has not contained that extremism but allowed it to grow and prosper." So we will embrace our Christian values and bomb the fuckers back to the Stone Age.

Perhaps Mister Cameron ought for a moment, to put down his King James Bible and do a Google web search for 'dead libyan children' Sanctimonious twat.

Christianity provides a 'moral code'

I think I'm loosing the will to live.

Cameron calls for return to Christian values as King James Bible turns 400

Christianity provides a 'moral code' to counter riots, expense scandals and Islamist extremism, says the prime minister

David Cameron has declared that "Britain is a Christian country and we should not be afraid to say so", in a speech to mark the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible.

Cameron told Church of England clergy gathered in Oxford that a return to Christian values could counter the country's "moral collapse" and blamed a "passive tolerance" of immoral behaviour for this summer's riots, Islamic extremism, City excess and Westminster scandals.

His words will delight traditionalists in his party and Christian groups that claim believers are increasingly marginalised .

Cameron said there were three reasons why the King James Bible was as relevant today as any point in its history.

"First, the King James Bible has bequeathed a body of language that permeates every aspect of our culture and heritage. Second, just as our language and culture is steeped in the Bible, so too is our politics.

"Third, we are a Christian country. And we should not be afraid to say so. Let me be clear: I am not in any way saying that to have another faith – or no faith – is somehow wrong.

"I know and fully respect that many people in this country do not have a religion. And I am also incredibly proud that Britain is home to many different faith communities, who do so much to make our country stronger. But what I am saying is that the Bible has helped to give Britain a set of values and morals which make Britain what it is today."

Cameron added that while faith was neither a "necessary nor sufficient condition for morality" it could be a "helpful prod in the right direction".

"Whether you look at the riots last summer, the financial crash and the expenses scandal, or the ongoing terrorist threat from Islamist extremists around the world, one thing is clear: moral neutrality or passive tolerance just isn't going to cut it anymore."

He said people were unwilling to distinguish right from wrong.

"The absence of any real accountability, or moral code, allowed some bankers and politicians to behave with scant regard for the rest of society. And when it comes to fighting violent extremism, the almost fearful passive tolerance of religious extremism that has allowed segregated communities to behave in ways that run completely counter to our values has not contained that extremism but allowed it to grow and prosper."

However emphatic he was about the importance of Christianity to Britain, he was less insistent about its place in his personal life.

As with previous declarations of his belief – once likening it to the patchy reception of a radio station – he told his audience he was a "committed but vaguely practising Church of England Christian" who, while he would stand up for the values and principles" of his faith, was "full of doubts and, like many, constantly grappling with the difficult questions when it comes to some of the big theological issues".

Last month the government announced it was sending a copy of the King James Bible, complete with a foreword from education minister Michael Gove, to every school in the country. Gruniad

How delusional can you get.

A few years ago my son and his friends received a big news Bible (in Dutch) via a christian organisation.

First page: Stop! Read no further. It has been proven that frequent reading causes serious health problems! (in capitals, bold).

Before Genesis begins, six pages with weird texts: Jesus is a modern man and would have his own homepage on the internet nowadays, about God’s PR workers, the Bible is a manual for footballers and God is the coach, God is searching for you, and so forth, I’ll spare you the rest.

The goal was to make the Bible more accessible to children. Needless to say, the children have won the match, they simply followed the initial advice.

Talking of morals. M

I can well imagine.

Somewhat like the Creation Museum's use of dinosaurs (walked with man) to get the kids interested in their creationist nonsense.

But coming back to your Bible intro, I suppose they have to something to prepare the kids before hitting them with Genesis. I mean, have you read it!?

It's mind blowing, talk about shit you couldn't make up! Oh I forgot, that's just what they did.

As Dawkins says, child abuse, pure and simple.

Look, I'm trying to appeal to the youth market, and Jesus says kids like the rap music. I said, "How about a psalm?" He said, "They psuck."

Good morning Maren, you are well my darling?

I think I may just tweet this old article afore I jump in the shower.

Ma'ma today, library and other things. And talking of books, I was listening to this fellow on the radio

http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1905624263/ref=pe_385721_37038051_TE_3p_dp_1

so I invested 25p for a copy (£3 postage)

I used to take quite an interest in castles once over. But never more so than after raving my tits off at an all nighter (Saturday)and then chill out at some derelict nearby castle. Me and the girls that is.

Later Chuck, later.

I’m fine m’dears. Much to do and only so many hours in a day, as you know. And talking of books, seems interesting read H tales of triumph and disaster, courage and cowardice, loyalty and betrayal, ingenuity and stupidity.

For something completely different, some flowering Honesty got blown over and snapped in a storm. Pulled them out. We call it Judaspenning because of the seed pods resembling pennies (thirty pieces of silver Judas Iscariot dropped whilst hanging, from which plants grew). On the other hand, Gold Rush is doing well.

Wonderful weekend and love to you and the girls from Haus am See.

Quintessentially English.

I was looking for a couple of fence panels to enclose my patio. (next door look straight in my study when they are in the garden)

This is one of two, that are closest to me.
