"...Campbell said: "We don't do God. I'm sorry, we don't do God." What a coincidence. If Campbell doesn't want anything to do with God, God will see to it that he gets his heart's desire!
To: All
If I was Mr. Blair I believe I would need a new press spokesman.....

"
We don't do God."
Praise to God for not being mutually inclined.

Hmmm . . . sounds like Blair is "growing in office" in a direction Labour doesn't like.
Fascinating.

His colleagues, including Campbell, objected, with one saying it would sound to viewers like "chaplains pushing stuff down their throats." Typical... the most innocuous, passing reference to deity is equated to thuggish theocracy... while Christians are expected to tolerate all sorts of competing doctrines (atheism, homosexuality, etc.) with nary a whisper of dissent.

It has also been reported that Campbell-- an avowed atheistIf Campbell is an athiest, why would he even care if Blair mentions God? This is something about athiests that I have never understood. They claim not to believe in God, yet get all huffy and offended when someone mentions God. If you don't believe in God, why the heck would you care if God is mentioned?

Insecurity. We have the same problem in the US when the one atheist in town complains when kids pray in school or say the Pledge of Allegiance and ruins everything for everyone else.

I used to think Tony Blair was a Clinton sock puppet; I have changed my opinion of him.
It would be nice if Queen Elizabeth delivered a well-placed bitch slap to Blair's atheist critics. Well at least she should speak up, considering that she is the figurehead of the Church of England.
Tony has a tough row to hoe...

"...Campbell said: "We don't do God. I'm sorry, we don't do God." Hurumph...personally, I don't believe in athiests...
To: Luna
Because God's word is truth. See Rom 1:20.

"If you don't believe in God, why the heck would you care if God is mentioned?"
I think it's kind of the same reason that people who don't like homosexuals get upset when gays have parades or hold hands in public. People don't like to be confronted with things they don't agree with. By and large, people tend to want everyone else to be just like themselves.

Can you say "Anti-Christ"
Wonder when he will head the EU?
To: Luna
No, the real question is why would Blair HIRE an atheist?
To: EternalVigilance
God said..." I 'm sorry we just don't do Campell" And with that he left of the Hell express. Fo rif you deny me infront of men I will deny you infront of my Father.
To: mabelkitty
I can just imagine what would happen if Ari Fleischer would tell President Bush that "we don't do God".

Like a saying I read once. "Everyone is good for something, even if only to be a bad example."
Blair probably has Campbell on staff - much like the "E" on a gas guage. It's there, not of a quantative representation, but as a warning not to let the needle "sink" that low....
