Reasons To Be Cheerful - Part Whatever

I can't understand what all this fuss is about. Have we not been saying in the last few weeks how much of a Christian country we are?
If other people can put their trust in their God, why can't I?
No best answer has yet been selected by Toni Blair. Once a best answer has been selected, it will be shown here.
For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I agree Chimp, firstly but unfortunately this country is far from being a christian country, if it were then when the churches speak out against certain things they would be taken more notice of and like when I was in school you were able to talk about God in assembly, rather than now you cannot speak about the 'god' of your country as you might offend, and when ethnic religions speak out they seem to create more of a stir and get things stopped or banned... christian country... no
So what are you all basing your "knowledge" about Tone's religious beliefs on?
Things you have seen in the media?.........Well we've just seen how someone might not want to declare their Chistian beliefs if this is the ridiculous reaction it might get!
His actions? .......If you listened to what he said he mentioned that " God would be the judge of his actions", a personal, final judgement. He didn't say that God lead him or directed him in his decisions.
The UK is a Christian country, no matter what any opt-outers might say. It is this very Christianity that has encouraged and welcomed the integration of other faiths and cultures in our country. For a world leader of such a Christian country not to be able to offer a view on his faith for fear of ridicule or causing offence to another group appears to me to be quite sad!
