I don’t think this one is going to get much more traction in the press, but it’s an interesting thesis: Tony Blair went to war in Iraq, blatantly ignoring the will of the people who marched en masse, “because God told him to”. His unshakable faith ran beneath every decision he made, a black and white world of good vs. evil.

‘Tony Blair complained in 2007 that he had been unable to talk about his faith while in office as he would have been perceived as “a nutter”.’

I wish he had.

In other news, his faith initiative in schools has been criticised by the NSS as being more likely to do harm than good. what with dividing largely uncaring children by their parents religion.

Can we start by noting that brainwashing minors in the details of sky fairies is tantamount to child abuse?

Update: the current Jesus and Mo nails it.
