Christian candidates and election results.

[jobee]

We know it isn't. The list is fairly conclusive proof that people in this country, even if they are Christians themselves, do not want to elect a politician purely on the basis that they are committed Christians.

 

We have no idea how many people voted for a particular candidate of, say, the Labour party, because that candidate was enthusiastically religious and the others were not. There might also be some people who did not vote for the same hypothetical Labour candidate for that very reason.

 

So Christians and the BNP are wasting their money and time trying to get political clout. The electorate doesn't want that type of character.

... and include:

Sell off state owned hospitals and healthcare facilities to private sector healthcare providers

 

The tories will pick that one up for them.

[jobee]

Some proof that people prefer to elect politicians to political office. No proof at all about what people think of religion, except that they know the difference between it and politics

 

So separation of church and state is a must.

 

The removal of those 26 [unelected] prelates from the house of lords is also a must.

Nick Clegg made this statement earlier tonight:

 

"Tonight the Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Party and the Federal Executive of the Liberal Democrat party have overwhelmingly accepted my recommendation that we should now enter into a coalition government with the Conservative Party."

 

"Before I say anything more about that coalition government I would like to express my thanks and admiration for Gordon Brown. He has been a towering figure in British politics for well over a decade. And the manner in which he has acted over the last few days has demonstrated immense dignity, grace and a profound sense of his public duty.

 

"We are now going to form a new government More importantly than anything else, we are going to form a new kind of government; I hope this is the start of a new kind of politics I have always believed in. Diverse, plural, where politicians with different points of view find a way to work together to provide the good government for the sake of the whole country deserves.

 

"That was what we were asked to do by the people of Britain in the General Election last Thursday and that is what we will deliver.

 

"I want to thank David Cameron for the very open, constructive and workmanlike way in which we have come together to make this agreement on how we can come together in this coalition government. We are obviously politicians from different parties. I believe we are now united in seeking to meet the immense challenges that now face the country and to deliver a fairer, better Britain.

 

"Of course there will be problems along the way; of course there will be glitches. But I will always do my best to prove that new politics isn't just possible - it is also better.

 

"I'd like to say something directly to the nearly seven million people who supported the Liberal Democrats in the General Election last week. I am now acutely aware that I carry your hopes and aspirations into this coalition agreement.

 

"I am sure you have many questions, maybe many doubts. But I can assure you I would not have entered into this agreement unless I was genuinely convinced it was a unique opportunity to deliver the changes you and I believe in.

 

Fair taxes.

A fair start in life for every child.

A new approach to our discredited banking system and the prospect of green and sustainable economic growth.

And new, open politics which you can trust once again.

 

"So I hope you will now keep faith with us let us prove to you that we can serve this country with humility, with fairness at the heart of everything we do. And with total dedication to the interests and livelihoods of everyone in this country."

The original text you know was in Hebrew? So... it's the original version.

 

 

Thats what I said.

 

Yes there are 3 versions you have quoted the jewish one.

 

The two at war with me came under 'thou shall not kill' one.

 

BUT even the original jewish was-- 'thou shall not kill'

 

A. The commandment "thou shall not kill" (Exodus 20:13; Deuteronomy 5:17),

[dacrlit]

It's actually thou shall not murder.

 

It is actually "Thou shall not kill", but they changed it because Christian British and American soilders didn't like to kill people, but when they changed they thought it would be Okay.

The change, assuming it took place at all, goes back to a long time before either Britain or the USA even existed. It was at the time of the Crusades that the Church decided to alter the meaning of Jesus' teachings, to the effect that not doing harm only applied to other Christians and you could torture, butcher and massacre the Infidel as much as you wanted.

There should be no such thing as a party of any religion in politics. I'm surprised that Britain is probably the only European nation that does have a religiously orientated political party.

Frankly, I doubt that it is, but if the religion-based parties do as well in Europe as this one has done here, we would never hear of them.
