The Prophets Before You

The mounting hysteria of a secularist lobby, if it can even be called such a thing, which has never made the slightest serious effort to organise itself in the way that Christians do without even thinking about it.

Across the spectrum, MPs and party activists have long, long been overtly religious out of all proportion to the population at large. The relative absence of the militantly secular is not our fault. It is theirs. They need to ask themselves the problem with their own position.

And check out the distaste at appealing to the blacks. Secular fundamentalists are not as bad as theological liberals. But they are not much better.

  1. The abortion limit to be reduced by the Tories?

  2. No chance. The last time that they were in, they extended it to birth "under certain circumstances", which means that that is where it is, in practice, under all circumstances.

    Possibly, they are trying the Republican Party's trick of permanently promising to restrict or ban abortion but never actually doing so, since that would cause the voters in question to declare "Mission Accomplished" and go home to the Democratic Party, whence they came and where their economic interests lie.

  3. Hw dare those Evangelicals turn up to an open primary! Open doesn't mean open to the likes of us.

  4. This whole article is like the people last week who were whingeing about the Pope and the Equalities Bill. They got beat. They are completely unused to that, so they don't know how to deal with it. But they know that they don't like it. Diddums.
