Huffington Post Columnist Celebrates 'Slow, Whining Death' of Christianity (in UK)
NewsBusters.org ^ | 08/10/2010 | Nathan Burchfiel

It's not often you see an obituary as snarky and bitter as the one written by British columnist Johann Hari announcing what he called the "slow, whining death of British Christianity" in the UK edition of GQ and online at The Huffington Post.

Citing an unlinked ICM study, which is not available on the organization's website, Hari called on reader to "put your hands together and give thanks, for I come bearing Good News. My country,Britain, is now on the most irreligious country on earth."

Hari called Christianity, "superstition," "weak," "cruel," and based on "intimidation." He predicted that, "As their dusty Churches crumble because nobody wants to go there" and predicted that "the few remaining Christians in Britain will only become more angry and uncomprehending."

...Hari reported that 63 percent of British respondents called themselves non-believers, and "only six percent of British people regularly attend religious services." While religious believers might find such number disheartening, Hari celebrated. "Now, let us stand and sing our new national hymn: Jerusalem was dismantled here / in England's green and pleasant land."

UK is hardly an irreligous country, Christianity has merely been replaced with Islam.

Praise, indeed.

And enjoy.

Those "irreligious" British moslems will make short work of his candy ass. After a bout with shari'a law he'll be whining for the return of Christians and Jerusalem.

Why is he so energized about these statistics? Even if there were zero Christians in the UK, he would still have no luck finding a boyfriend.

If he didn’t like the constraints of Christianity he’s going to scream when Sharia law forces him to convert from whatever he is.

My country,Britain, is now on the most irreligious country on earth.

May want to re-think that one, you little feminine man you. Your country is being conquered by the ROP...and probably won't be yours much longer. Probably won't even be called Britain much longer.

Another gay who thinks Islam will be as tolerant of his defect as Christianity has been.
We are living in the beginning of the end. Though 63% of Brits are non-believers now, 100% will believe some day. (Isaiah 45:23). Even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus.
