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."

Quelle surprise.
I think I’ve always had an over-romanticized view of England because of my ancestry. At what point did the stiff upper lip types get overrun by the pc poofters? It’s become a runaway embarrassment and nobody seems interested in finding the brake pedal.
The POPE will change England back to CATHOLIC! Yeah, WOOHOO!
What the left would like to see is the slow, screaming death of Christianity in a concentration camp.
Is that male or female?
"Every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess"!
Oh and by the way, it also notes that "homosexuality is an an abomination"
Just another little tidbit to put in your pipe and smoke!

Unless he takes the Good News seriously and repents soon, he is going to be very sorry when the Lord returns for His Kingdom.
Youll LOVE that
This was posted right under a photo of the gay-looking author of this piece. He had better hope that Christianity holds sway in whatever country he's in. The Islamic rulers will have his gay butt among the first to be swinging in the breeze.
So what does he think of Islam? Oh yeah, he won't write a column about that, because he wants to keep his head.
Is that a chick!
Look "It's Pat!" all grown up and in a three piece suit
Does this homo realize that they collapse walls on homos in Islamic countries? Or like most retard homo leftists, he thinks if he “kisses the iman’s ass” they’ll let him continue his sodomy in peace.
Hari credits Hitchens' book on Mother Teresa with "opening his eyes" about religion. If anyone has the time or the patience to wade through Hari's self-absorbed ramblings on everything from Chomsky to Islam to the Iraq war, there's a lengthy interview HERE.
I think the muslims would string him up for being gay. He wouldn’t get a chance to celebrate. (Remember I’m Jewish) but I bet he’ll be yelling for Jesus when they put the rope around his stupid neck.
Reminds me of those old Nietzsche T-shirts: One side said, “God is Dead.” - Nietzsche. The other side said, “Nietzsche is Dead.” - God.
Idiocy seems to be the only true equal opportunity employer in the world.
Ha ha we will see :)
To be fair, I don’t think they mean it anymore. They’re just doing it out of tradition. Protestant inspired anti-catholic zeal is pretty much a dead issue everywhere in the UK except for certain parts of Glasgow and in Northern Ireland (Secular inspired anti-catholicism is another matter however)...
Or perhaps it's only what we would expect.
Yeah, right.
