He's not the Messiah; he's a very naughty boy...

David Cameron has spoken. In a speech at Oxford to mark the 400th birthday of the King James Bible he said, "the Bible has helped to give Britain a set of values and morals which make Britain what it is today".

So, what biblical values and morals did you have in mind then, David? Perhaps you're talking about love or possibly equality and fairness or maybe nothing more complex than good old fashioned family values.

Maybe I've misjudged it completely and you're talking about something far more devastating such as floods or plagues of frogs and locusts. Perhaps it's something far simpler such as stoning to death those who work on the sabbath?

By your own admission, you may be only "vaguely practicing" but please David, help us understand; show us the light...

  1. Here's some morals from the Bible: stoning people to death, killing children, raping your enemies' wives.

    Could that be the morals he's talking about?

    What a lot of hog wash. People that think morality comes from scriptures are highly deluded. It comes from humanism, rational thinking and basic reciprocation in communities.

    We need to rid ourselves from superstition. Ironically, that would constitute moral progress. The slaughtering that still happens in the name of one religion or another is atrocious.

    It's time for a new dawn.

  2. And Cameron is a flabby headed fuckwit for thinking otherwise.
