Islam is filling the void...

[Sweetpea]

The collapse of Christianity has wrecked British society, a leading Church of England bishop declared yesterday.

It has destroyed family life and left the country defenceless against the rise of radical Islam in a moral and spiritual vacuum.

In a lacerating attack on liberal values, the Right Reverend Michael Nazir-Ali, the Bishop of Rochester, said the country was mired in a doctrine of 'endless self-indulgence' that had brought an explosion in public violence and binge-drinking.
In a blow to Gordon Brown, he mocked the 'scramblings and scratchings' of politicians who try to cast new British values such as respect and tolerance.

The Pakistani-born bishop dated the downfall of Christianity from the 'social and sexual revolution' of the 1960s.

He said Church leaders had capitulated to Marxist revolutionary thinking and quoted an academic who blames the loss of 'faith and piety among women' for the steep decline in Christian worship

He may well have a point, and he is dead right about islam. It is filling every void and creating some to fill.

Christianity, not unlike Islam, often leaves the blame for failings in morality with women, here we have a good example.

He doesn't address the question WHY has christianity collapsed? Is it because of millenia of corruption and greed in organised religion? Or is it because they don't have the right marketing tools?

Sounds like another headline grabber like Dr. Carey.

Maybe the loss of faith and piety by women can be blamed on the oppression of men for many centuries?

To bring women into the fore in a typically negative light is very islamic anyway, is he sure he's a Christian?

It's quite Christian too!!!!!

Why does he mention women? Are men more pious? or is piety a womans' job? It's just inflammatory bollocks to get a column in a paper.

Yes, but we have dragged ourselves to the 21st century, and we are not about to be stoned to death for saying "no way, Dad".

Potaytoe, Potaato...

All organised religion is the work of satan... If you worship God (or whomever), do so in your head and your heart. You don't need big buildings and bank ballances to worship... only to brag...

Isn't Satan a tent pisser too ?

That has to be an oxymoron, a Godless world that includes Satan ?

I don't believe the world to be godless (Sections of it, maybe, but not the whole world).

Satan, is not, so far as I am aware, a tent pisser, unless the tent is made of some highly flame retardant material.
