Church of England's attempt of playing a race card?

[thoughtomator]

"For Bush and Blair to go into Iraq together was like a bunch of white vigilantes going into Brixton to stop drug dealing. This is not to deny there's a problem to be sorted, just that they are not credible people to deal with it," he said.

This bishop is so blind to reality I have to question the basis on which he holds his office. Who besides Bush and Blair (and Howard) could credibly deal with the problem? The UN? (failed).... the Arab League? (lmao)... Russia or China? (both in bed with him).

Is there a thought process that precedes words eminating from his mouth?

And you are? Where were you the previous 12 years? How come you didnt sort the problem out then?

What's the difference in a "white" vigilante and a "black" vigilante? Or a a blue vigilante for that matter.

Glad I'm not one of the choir boys....talk about WMD's!

In a separate rebuke, the Archbishop of York, David Hope, questioned the legitimacy of the war and said Mr Blair would have to answer to God - a "higher authority" - for his decision to forge ahead with the conflict.

Yes Archbishop, he will as will you. I expect God will give Tony Blair his blessings for freeing the Iraqi people. You, however, will be called to account and you might be a little surprised at how harsh it will be.

These church leaders are moral pygmies.

[tsmith130]

"Undoubtedly, a very wicked leader has been removed, but there are wicked leaders in other parts of the world."

I never understood this argument. So their answer is to do nothing to any wicked leaders, ever? I truly can't fathom their reasoning behind this. I guess there are some things I'm just destined to never comprehend......

Had we waited much longer to enter WWII, there would have been no Archbishop Hope to spew this nonsense, because after all the Jews were gone, his hide would have been used to make the next lamp shade.

Hilarious. Simply splendid. The text should be faxed to Dean, and I hope he partakes of it.

[glock rocks]

another hit and run in the punchbowl, eh Hal.

[Southack]

Oh good grief. Yet another gay, effeminate priest spouting the Marxist talking points of the day, no doubt.

[Havoc]

Methinks this Bishop needs to find God.

[Maynerd]

The Bishop of Durham, Tom Wright and the Arch Bishop of York,David Hope need to let go of their hate of Tony Blair, George W. Bush, and the US.

They should get back to the vital business of driving the Church of England into the ground. The Anglicans will go the way of the Jonestown crowd if they keep drinking thier anti-Western culture koolaid.

Dear Most Reverend Bushop,

Since you believe Mr. Blair sinned in going to war with Iraq, does the term "Crusade" ring a bell.

[jocon307]

"He [Blair?] confessed in an interview conducted during the Iraq war that he had wanted to end a televised statement before British troops went into Iraq with the phrase "God bless you", but was dissuaded by officials."

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?????? He should have ended it with God bless you and God save the Queen, and whoever didn't like it could go take a flying f**** at a rolling donut, as we used to say.

God bless us all, Everyone! Except those weasly Brit
Bishops and "officials", they can go to hades.

[texasflower]

I guess the Bishop has forgotten that he will have to face God as well. As most of us here feel, Tony Blair and George Bush are well within God's favor.

[montag813]

the Bishop of Durham, Tom Wright, accused religious conservatives surrounding the US president, George Bush, of espousing "a very strange distortion of Christianity"

Yes, the kind of Christianity in which people are actually CHRISTIANS, unlike the Marxist Liberation Theology that this scumbag "Bishop" believes in. The British clergy is completely out of control.

[montag813]

Referring to Iraq, he said: "We still have not found any weapons of mass destruction anywhere. Are we likely to find any? Does that alter the view as to whether we really ought to have mounted the invasion or not?

I guess this p.o.s. "bishop" hasn't seen today's lengthy L.A. Times piece exposing Syria's sole in absorbing and hiding the WMDs.
