The Archbishop of Canterbury has accused the government of treating religious faith as an “eccentricity” practised by “oddities”.
But it is. How can anyone who is capable of independent thought believe in any sort of God?
He said it would not do “any harm” for political leaders to be more open about their religious beliefs.
Yes it would. It would be a bad thing.
Dr Williams said: “A great many Anglo-Catholics have good reason for not being Roman Catholics.
“They don’t believe the Pope is infallible. And that’s why they’re still pressing for a solution in Anglican terms, rather than what many of them see as a theologically rather eccentric option.”
So – the Pope is fallible but he is not? Roman Catholics are wrong but Anglicans are right? That his flavour of worship is sound but any other is “eccentric”? Where is acceptance, forgiveness and all that other junk? How about “The Taliban are right and Rowan Williams is wrong”. If that is not acceptable then why should his statement be? Methods and actions do not come into this, beliefs do.
So Rowan Williams wants religion to increasingly permeate politics, believes that Catholics are wrong and therefore politicians who are catholic must be wrong so only Anglicans should reach the controlling positions in what we call a democracy. How is that not an extremist position?
And if you can read these words why do you believe? Can’t you see that where there is an unknown it is human nature to try to explain that in order to make sense of it – and that the bible is a nonsense.
Again……
