Doing God with Dave.

Quote:David Cameron has ventured into territory avoided even by Tony Blair, the most devout prime minister in living memory, during his time in Downing Street.

As Easter Sunday approaches, Cameron has decided to "do God" in public, as Alastair Campbell might say.

He ran out of scapegoats. The problem of infinite regress.. he's managed to back himself into blaming everything on God now.

Over here in the states , a politician "doing god" is more common than eating chicken.

For us, this is about as surprising as grass growing in the spring. Undecided

Agreed with Cinjin, it's common practice around here. If you don't "do god" here, i doubt you'd get anywhere as a politician. It's rather pathetic in my opinion.

You guys complaining about this is like Americans complaining about too many footoball(soccer) hooligans.

I wish it was a big deal over here in the States when a politician decided to "do god". Over here, it's a huge shit-storm when a politician decides to not "do god."

The fundies scream oppression, as though it's oppressing them for a politician to choose not to pray in public or other such nonsense.
What falls away is always, and is near.

Also, I am not pretending to be female, this profile picture is my wonderful girlfriend. XD

That a good move by the PM. God and statehood go hand-in-hand.
