Cameron Aping The Americans ?

[modeller]

Is Cameron copying the US politicians ? Or just sucking up to the clerics ?

He is now quoting from St John's gospel .

Now, now - "sucking up to the clerics" would be hypocrisy, wouldn't it. We can't imagine our esteemed politicians being hypocrites, can we ? Tut, Tut.

In times of desperation prayer, and quoting scripture, can seen the only option.

Somewhat reminiscent of Blair wanting to end his with "God Bless you all" before Cameron stopped him with "We don't do God!"

Blair argued but backed down

Is Cameron actually religious do we think - like Blair was? or is he just politically religious?

[jake-the-peg]

Duh! should have of course been Campbell stopped him

Damn Scots getting everywhere

[Psybbo]

Well he needs all the help he can get

quoting the Bible during a Christian festival? But how naff. He should have quoted The Hobbit or something.

[plowter]

So Cameron's a 'vaguely practising' Christian?
Weren't there any journalists around to ask him exactly what that meant?
Go on. Someone ask him, live on TV to name the seven signs.

[sandyRoe]

Pride, covetousness, lust, gluttony, anger, sloth, and envy.

[plowter]

... tinky, winky and po.

The seven signs, or miracles, are:

- Changing water into wine in John 2:1-11
- Healing the royal official's son in Capernaum in John 4:46-54
- Healing the paralytic at Bethesda in John 5:1-18
- Feeding the 5000 in John 6:5-14
- Jesus' walk on water in John 6:16-24
- Healing the blind at birth in John 9:1-7
- Raising of Lazarus in John 11:1-45

(not from Wikipedia, honest)

I want to hear Humphreys or Paxman ask that wax faced charlatan to name the seven miracles with the Countdown tune in the background.

Jake,// Is Cameron actually religious do we think//

The answer is in the link. Like many people, he’s a //vaguely practising' Christian//

plowter, //I want to hear Humphreys ….ask that wax faced charlatan to name the seven miracles//

You might be surprised at Humphrys views on Christianity. Read ‘In God we Doubt’.
