Now TB has brought g(G)od into the equation. Storm in a teacup? Personally I don't give a hoot if he believes in g(G)od or not - that's his choice. But one has to ask if this is more a reflection on HIS judgement, TB's that is. I mean given the fragile state of relations with parts of the global Muslim community and that TB saw fit to invade a foreign territory and that "crusade" was seen as an apt word to describe this invasion by the US President and, and, and......actually scrub all the above! What is more pertinent to me is that I, yes me, think that he should be more worried about how I judge him. I am part of the electorate after all. It is supposedly the electorate that gave him the power to make the decision to drop his bombs. Now, even if I didn't vote for him, he is still supposed to be representing me and my needs - at least on a foreign stage. Oh, but no, he answers to g(G)od not to "the people"!!!! It does begin to make sense though. This is why he went to war in the first place depite the fact that the majority of the population was against it (not to mention the UN) - because he heard little voices in his head and he felt that he was answerable to them!!!!!!
Now admittedly I have difficulty with the whole notion of g(G)od...but I don't try and force others to follow my view or insist that believers are mislead or whatever. However when I hear the elected "leader" of my country proclaiming to set his stall around what, I believe, is a mythical figure then not only do I feel insulted but also somewhat alarmed.
Further it brings up,what for me are, worrying thoughts vis a vis faith schools etc and TB's push for more and more of the damned things . Now these I do find offensive. Let's brainwash little peeps into believing in g(G)od as we see him/her/it and allow them to believe that without the fear of you know who, they'll grow into evil monsters. Maybe kids can have an education about all religions and if they feel the need to join one then let them as they grow. Don't send them to a single faith school so that they can become brain washed and entrenched in their own view of g(G)od and later grow up to run their country and then go to war with another sovereign state safe in the knowledge that they are not answerable to anybody but the g(G)od!!! Where does that leave the growing numbers who don't believe in g(G)od or believe in a different god!!!
My cat thinks I'm God (when I feed her).....hmmmm....mebbe that's why she poops in the neighbour's garden......
