Even then, "progressives" were saying it was "too hard" for people to understand. The reverend authors concluded by saying "As a result of seventy years of state-controlled education, the men of today are not as intelligent as their grandfathers were. That is either their fault or their misfortune."<br /><br />With honourable exceptions, the same goes for today's clergy and teachers, I think.Edward Spaltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04168350315689612490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10701792.post-71312961016103642872011-07-14T20:40:40.851+02:002011-07-14T20:40:40.851+02:00He strikes me as being astonishly badly educated f...He strikes me as being astonishly badly educated for a member of the clergy. A spate of poor grammar and bad spelling, quite made my day to think that my children have a better command of the language than the clergy.<br />I set this story alongside the story earlier this week that the Church of England is in decline. With the clergy treating the people as idiots is it any wonder that people go elsewhere? The talk of reinstigating a tithe for teh church is a joke. <br />I am of the view that manmade global warming is a hoax. Why? Because as an Engineer I require proof of a theorm rather than smoke and mirrors. Since the evidence is slim at best I exercise my right to decline to believe!Pablo the Scotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10701792.post-5460163442920794262011-07-14T01:01:11.650+02:002011-07-14T01:01:11.650+02:00He's also made the basic mistake of believing ...He's also made the basic mistake of believing the Left-wing liars who continually spout that the BNP are far Right when they are actually hard LeftBarking Spiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00968827142725464915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10701792.post-75204780372594702442011-07-10T09:04:06.264+02:002011-07-10T09:04:06.264+02:00There are two institutions in Europe totally beyon...There are two institutions in Europe totally beyond parody: the government of Italy and the Church of England.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10701792.post-60582968361760865712011-07-03T21:02:51.716+02:002011-07-03T21:02:51.716+02:00I think Farage was wasting his time there, trying ...I think Farage was wasting his time there, trying to spell out the contrary view. The best line with these people is probably Socratic questioning. <br />"Gosh, how do you know all this! Do tell me where you found the evidence for AGW, I've never seen any to convince me" etc. etc. Lead them on to show how it's all argument from authority, then say "How do you choose your authority?" <br />You might go on to ask "Which is the true word of God, the Koran or the Bible?" But no, teasing soppy Anglicans is a cruel sport.Jamesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10701792.post-2611039213731143712011-07-02T19:33:17.078+02:002011-07-02T19:33:17.078+02:00Just thinking about the previous comment.

Some of its bishops will denounce unbelievers vigorously in a way they would never do if someone (say) denied the Resurrection.<br /><br />There is even a C of E Campaign for "Climate Justice"! They ought to know that the Almighty sends his rain upon the just and the unjust person and the wind bloweth where it listeth. <br /><br />Charities like Christian Aid, Oxfam, Friends of the Earth etc, all proponents of the One Warmist Faith, receive massive EU subsidy. From looking at the facts externally, the deal appears to be "You tell the public what we want them to hear and we will give you pots of other people's money".<br /><br />I haven't had a chance to look but it would be worthwhile finding out what "Soul for Europe" is up to in this field - something an MEP could do in a spare moment.Edward Spaltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04168350315689612490noreply@blogger.com
