The practice of submitting to Truth, Reason and Reality (if that is what God is, if He/She/It exists) is capable of both being a philosophy and a religion.
To start a Cult of Reason and The Supreme Being that is mutually indivisible is therefore logically possible and politically desirable.
Imagine: a religion and philosophy capable of appealing to both atheists and monotheists ....

War in Afghanistan and Iraq not just another Vietnam, it will be the end of our so-called democracy
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peloponnesian_War
This ruinous and disastrous war took 28 years to destroy Athens and her democracy.
Perhaps it will not take as long for us.

Time for a stable rational one-party state where the elite rule and the people feel well-governed?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/5864406/Lord-Digby-Jones-ministers-like-Jacqui-Smith-are-not-fit-to-govern.html
Methinks Lord Digby is suggesting something along the lines of the Chinese Communist Party.
And why not?
America is going down the plughole so it will no longer be the world's most powerful nation. Indeed, it will be the world's most reviled if it carries on in Iraq and Afghanistan, which it probably will because Americans are now even more stupid than they were.
There is no need for Britain to be stupid too, though.
If Britain wants a Special Relationship with the World's Most Powerful Nation, it had better raise its sights from America to China.
If it can be America's Poodle, there is no reason why it cannot be China's Pekingese. They are after all both lapdogs.
Learning Chinese would be A Good Thing for the Dumbed-Down British.
Out will go all these decades of toxic Progressive ideology, back will come traditional ideas of rote learning to instill discipline in the increasingly enfeebled, demented, feminised, neurotic, retarded, alcoholic, obese, impoverished and illegitimate British.
They will then realise that there is no such thing as dyslexia, only not very bright children, over-protective and indulgent parents and ineffective teaching methods that are so child-centred it will not tell a child off when it has done something wrong or spelt or written a word incorrectly. Or tell a child to write a word 20 times until it can write it correctly.
In the end, it is only continuing in its long ignoble tradition of wanting to punch above its weight, only to get knocked out, of course.

Calais migrants ambush Britons

No wonder the French hate the British for turning their port into a human cesspit.
Of course these criminals target the tourists, ie the British, as criminals would.
Of course the French authorities don't give a damn because it is all the fault of the British who are too stupid to call for a change in their immigration laws, which makes Britain so attractive to illegal immigrants.
If I were French, I'd send them on to their target destination and let the mugs in Britain deal with them when they arrive. In fact, I'd put them all on boat and tell them to head for an English port.
It would then be up to Nick Griffin and his lot to sink them.

Why the British are either very stupid or very demented
http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_8160000/8160335.stm
This is the running order of today's Today programme with my comments saying why we are a country of consisting of demented old women being governed by a bunch of demented old women whose opposition is another bunch of feeble-minded old women.
"Good!" is my response to the ritual hand-wringing. Does anyone in his right mind even think this alcoholic loser even deserves chicken liver pate on toast?
Well, of course. Knowing what we do about Britain's state comprehensives, which 80% of children attend, why would anyone give these crap-educated children the time of day at all? Most of them can't barely read, write, spell or count. The ones that can count a little are wobbly on their time tables. Everything is being progressively dumbed-down, even as the educational establishment pretends that children must be getting cleverer because more of them are getting grades that say they have got A and A*.
That is because they think we have been dumbed-down too.
In British schools, sex education consists of teaching children the Joy of Sex, ie telling them how to do it, instead of telling them that bringing yet another little bastard into the world is a bad thing for them and a bad thing for the society they live in.
Yet, mildly suggest that child benefit be withdrawn from these teen parents, and you get a chorus of disapproval, because it sounds uncompassionate.
The preponderence of the inadequately-parented illegitimate in our schools means that education must be progressively dumbed-down to accommodate their propensity for indiscipline, underaged sex and violence, obesity, autism, violence and neurosis.
But no one mentions or acknowledges this, of course.
Well, good on you for standing up for the cannon-fodder, General, but there is really no point throwing good money after bad, and sending more people to die in the 21st century Western equivalent of the Peloponnesian War while you're about it. (You know, the one that Athens and Sparta waged with each other for 28 years and which ultimately destroyed Athens.)
Why not indeed?
What a pity there is no dementia test we can make our leaders take, to show how utterly divorced they are from reality, morality and anything that could be described as responsibility and good sense.
If we do not do anything about this, then even death by swine flu is too good for us.
The latest insane suggestion - that schools that would re-open in autum be closed to contain the pandemic - suggests that even the demented know this and are trying to escape their fate by proposing what they think might be solutions.
Let us therefore just speak the truth to each other before the filth and madness that we have accumulated for so long falls on us and buries us alive.
It is the only way to enjoy our last days, is it not?

A 22-year-old man from east London who began binge-drinking at 13 has died after being denied a life-saving liver transplant. Professor Ian Gilmore, president of the Royal College of Physicians, explains the story of Gary Reinbach, who was given only a few weeks to live after developing cirrhosis of the liver.

Britain's professions have become more socially exclusive, a report
into social mobility suggests. Former cabinet minister Alan Milburn, the author of the report, discusses his findings.
Well, of course. Knowing what we do about Britain's state comprehensives, which 80% of children attend, why would anyone give these crap-educated children the time of day at all?

The head of the army, General Sir Richard Dannatt, is said to have
infuriated ministers last week by publicly calling for more troops and better equipment in Afghanistan. Today presenter Sarah Montague reports from Afghanistan and talks to Sir Richard about his last journey to Afghanistan before he retires after 40 years of service.

0838Because even dumbed-down Britons are not so dumbed-down that they would believe any government statistic now, to give them some credit ...
Despite overall crime falling by 5% in 2008/9, the fear of crime seems
to go on rising. Filmmaker Roger Graef, who has tried to answer that question in a programme for BBC One, explains why people are more fearful than they used to be.
0851If working class people are going to be given a hand-up because they can't quite make it on their own merits - who would want someone from the Peckham Academy in their university unless they start running a course in Degree Level Drug-Dealing, Pimping, Gun Crime and General Gangsterism - why not give a hand-up to lunatics, retards and those suffering from dementia?
Universities should take into account the social background of the
people who apply for courses, a report into social mobility suggests. Shaun Bailey, a youth worker and prospective Conservative party candidate for Hammersmith, and Dr Lee Elliot Major, research director at the Sutton Trust, discuss whether working class pupils should be given special consideration.
Why not indeed?

It is a delightful irony that the election of a BNP MEP candidate should be the cause of such a remarkable example of inter-racial co-operation.

Is it rational to seek pleasure and avoid pain?
Is it immoral to seek pleasure and avoid pain at the expense of others? Do the ends justify the means?
Would the means accomplish the ends?
If God is Reason, Truth and Reality, then it would appear that we must at all times submit to Reason, Truth and Reality, for our own good.
