My hunch is that Gordon Brown and that new guy in Australia aren’t burdened by religious beliefs and so won’t run the risk of being seen as a “nutter” by the Beautiful People.

Multi-faith coronation for Charles (09/2006)

“Canon John Hall, the Dean-elect of Westminster Abbey, said that the traditional Church of England coronation service must be revised to reflect society’s changes since the Queen’s coronation in 1953. As dean, he will be on the committee responsible for drawing up the service.

“The coronation service needs to find the right way of including people of other faiths,” Canon Hall told The Sunday Telegraph. “It must be different in some ways because of the nature of society and how things have changed.”


Alison Ruoff, a member of the General Synod, the church’s parliament, voiced concern about the plans.

“We should not pander to political correctness,” she said. “There is no way that other faiths should be involved in the service. This is a Christian country and so the coronation service must remain exclusively Christian and we should not apologise for that.”

Pretty much the truth here at FR as well. Mention God or the Biblical record of creation in a thread about cosmic, terrestrial, and life origins and you are instantly classified as a nut job, and open yourself to further ridicule. DU has nothing on some of the folks here.

Mention God and you're a 'nutter'

Happens here, too, even on FR. Quite frequently.

Sad, considering the fact that the entire American concept of liberty is based on the fact that our rights to life and liberty come from our Creator, not from any man, and that the protection of those rights is the very reason for even having human government in the first place.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men..."

Mr Campbell, in the same TV programme as Mr Blair, said the British public were "a bit wary of politicians who go on about God".K

Mr. Campbell, like many leftists, is an intolerant anti-religious bigot. God bless Mr. Blair upon his entrance into full communion with the Church of Christ.

Yep they are populated by holier than thou secularists (some of whom claim to be Christians) that have bought the atheistic talking points hook, line and sinker.

To HELL with the Anti-Christians. However, Christians must start planning for success in the “New World”! This means “take care of your own”!

I have a problem accepting Blair’s comments at face value because of the way he gave the “keys to the candy store” to the homosexuals on his way out.

“However, Christians must start planning for success in the “New World”! “

If you’re referring to the New Word Order, then there are no plans for Christians to have a part in that.

In fact, they are being written out of the plan.
