These Christians would burn each other at the stake for things they no longer care or even know about now. Michael Servetus was burned at the stake at the instigation of John Calvin for denying the Trinity.  Nice, huh? https://www.christianity.com/church/church-history/timeline/1501-1600/michael-servetus-burned-for-heresy-11629984.html

I think you need a lot of imagination for a Christian revival.

James Fountain
I recall several months ago a news story about a high ranking EU official (maybe an MP from Germany) converting to Islam. It set me to wondering if we are due for the trend of Western social conservatives abandoning their pozzed churches for the bedrock moral clarity and social/family cohesion that Islam projects.

Claire Khaw
In the end, you just have to use whatever's around that would work.  https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/01/31/far-right-afd-member-converted-islam-protest-gay-marriage-acceptance/ When you think about it, Secular Koranism is actually far more low maintenance than Christianity. You are not required to attend a place of worship, just obey the law.  If everyone were forced into Christianity, there would actually have to be another Inquisition, even if it is non-violent but ultimately discriminatory and totalitarian.

Claire Khaw
The fact is that Christianity and Islam were derived from Judaism. Therefore it would be logical to conclude that both represented attempts by the gentile to adapt Judaism for their own advancement.

Claire Khaw
The priesthood represents a parasitic class. Islam does away with the unnecessary and corrupt middle man, because it regards sharia as a means of maintaining morality rather than the corruptible priesthood. Since any advanced society would have a judiciary , the judiciary become a quasi-priesthood in that it takes on the role of applying and interpreting what are believed to be God's laws. That is enough and takes away and an unnecessary layer of the state.

The supreme function of statesmanship is to provide against preventable evils

'The supreme function of statesmanship is to provide against preventable evils. In seeking to do so, it encounters obstacles which are deeply rooted in human nature.
One is that by the very order of things such evils are not demonstrable until they have occurred: at each stage in their onset there is room for doubt and for dispute whether they be real or imaginary. By the same token, they attract little attention in comparison with current troubles, which are both indisputable and pressing: whence the besetting temptation of all politics to concern itself with the immediate present at the expense of the future.

Above all, people are disposed to mistake predicting troubles for causing troubles and even for desiring troubles: "If only," they love to think, "if only people wouldn't talk about it, it probably wouldn't happen."

Perhaps this habit goes back to the primitive belief that the word and the thing, the name and the object, are identical.

At all events, the discussion of future grave but, with effort now, avoidable evils is the most unpopular and at the same time the most necessary occupation for the politician. Those who knowingly shirk it deserve, and not infrequently receive, the curses of those who come after.'

OUR POST-TRUTH SOCIETY

But how can you exercise this supreme function of statesmanship in a post-truth society? A post-truth society is a matriarchy, and a matriarchy is dominated by stupid immoral women and the male politicians who pander to them in an environment of indiscriminate universal suffrage, terrified of alienating the female vote and accused of "mansplaining". These immoral and irresponsible women will not be moved by truth, logic or morality, only by false promises, threats and lies. They respond only to fear of punishment, prospect of gain and are bribed with legislation to protect and privilege them, giving them more rights on the public purse that only increase the voracity of their parasitism.

People deserve the government they get. Please, God, let us no longer be the stinking degenerate matriarchy that we already are.

Deuteronomy 28: Curses for Disobedience

15 However, if you do not obey the Lord your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come on you and overtake you:
16 You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country.
17 Your basket and your kneading trough will be cursed.
18 The fruit of your womb will be cursed, and the crops of your land, and the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.
19 You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out.
20 The Lord will send on you curses, confusion and rebuke in everything you put your hand to, until you are destroyed and come to sudden ruin because of the evil you have done in forsaking him.[a] 21 The Lord will plague you with diseases until he has destroyed you from the land you are entering to possess. 22 The Lord will strike you with wasting disease, with fever and inflammation, with scorching heat and drought, with blight and mildew, which will plague you until you perish. 23 The sky over your head will be bronze, the ground beneath you iron. 24 The Lord will turn the rain of your country into dust and powder; it will come down from the skies until you are destroyed.
25 The Lord will cause you to be defeated before your enemies. You will come at them from one direction but flee from them in seven, and you will become a thing of horror to all the kingdoms on earth. 26 Your carcasses will be food for all the birds and the wild animals, and there will be no one to frighten them away. 27 The Lord will afflict you with the boils of Egypt and with tumors, festering sores and the itch, from which you cannot be cured. 28 The Lord will afflict you with madness, blindness and confusion of mind. 29 At midday you will grope about like a blind person in the dark. You will be unsuccessful in everything you do; day after day you will be oppressed and robbed, with no one to rescue you.
30 You will be pledged to be married to a woman, but another will take her and rape her. You will build a house, but you will not live in it. You will plant a vineyard, but you will not even begin to enjoy its fruit. 31 Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will eat none of it. Your donkey will be forcibly taken from you and will not be returned. Your sheep will be given to your enemies, and no one will rescue them. 32 Your sons and daughters will be given to another nation, and you will wear out your eyes watching for them day after day, powerless to lift a hand. 33 A people that you do not know will eat what your land and labor produce, and you will have nothing but cruel oppression all your days. 34 The sights you see will drive you mad. 35 The Lord will afflict your knees and legs with painful boils that cannot be cured, spreading from the soles of your feet to the top of your head.
36 The Lord will drive you and the king you set over you to a nation unknown to you or your ancestors. There you will worship other gods, gods of wood and stone. 37 You will become a thing of horror, a byword and an object of ridicule among all the peoples where the Lord will drive you.
38 You will sow much seed in the field but you will harvest little, because locusts will devour it. 39 You will plant vineyards and cultivate them but you will not drink the wine or gather the grapes, because worms will eat them. 40 You will have olive trees throughout your country but you will not use the oil, because the olives will drop off. 41 You will have sons and daughters but you will not keep them, because they will go into captivity. 42 Swarms of locusts will take over all your trees and the crops of your land.
43 The foreigners who reside among you will rise above you higher and higher, but you will sink lower and lower. 44 They will lend to you, but you will not lend to them. They will be the head, but you will be the tail.
45 All these curses will come on you. They will pursue you and overtake you until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the Lord your God and observe the commands and decrees he gave you. 46 They will be a sign and a wonder to you and your descendants forever. 47 Because you did not serve the Lord your God joyfully and gladly in the time of prosperity, 48 therefore in hunger and thirst, in nakedness and dire poverty, you will serve the enemies the Lord sends against you. He will put an iron yoke on your neck until he has destroyed you.
49 The Lord will bring a nation against you from far away, from the ends of the earth, like an eagle swooping down, a nation whose language you will not understand, 50 a fierce-looking nation without respect for the old or pity for the young. 51 They will devour the young of your livestock and the crops of your land until you are destroyed. They will leave you no grain, new wine or olive oil, nor any calves of your herds or lambs of your flocks until you are ruined. 52 They will lay siege to all the cities throughout your land until the high fortified walls in which you trust fall down. They will besiege all the cities throughout the land the Lord your God is giving you.
53 Because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege, you will eat the fruit of the womb, the flesh of the sons and daughters the Lord your God has given you. 54 Even the most gentle and sensitive man among you will have no compassion on his own brother or the wife he loves or his surviving children, 55 and he will not give to one of them any of the flesh of his children that he is eating. It will be all he has left because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of all your cities. 56 The most gentle and sensitive woman among you—so sensitive and gentle that she would not venture to touch the ground with the sole of her foot—will begrudge the husband she loves and her own son or daughter 57 the afterbirth from her womb and the children she bears. For in her dire need she intends to eat them secretly because of the suffering your enemy will inflict on you during the siege of your cities.
58 If you do not carefully follow all the words of this law, which are written in this book, and do not revere this glorious and awesome name—the Lord your God— 59 the Lord will send fearful plagues on you and your descendants, harsh and prolonged disasters, and severe and lingering illnesses. 60 He will bring on you all the diseases of Egypt that you dreaded, and they will cling to you. 61 The Lord will also bring on you every kind of sickness and disaster not recorded in this Book of the Law, until you are destroyed. 62 You who were as numerous as the stars in the sky will be left but few in number, because you did not obey the Lord your God. 63 Just as it pleased the Lord to make you prosper and increase in number, so it will please him to ruin and destroy you. You will be uprooted from the land you are entering to possess.
64 Then the Lord will scatter you among all nations, from one end of the earth to the other. There you will worship other gods—gods of wood and stone, which neither you nor your ancestors have known. 65 Among those nations you will find no repose, no resting place for the sole of your foot. There the Lord will give you an anxious mind, eyes weary with longing, and a despairing heart. 66 You will live in constant suspense, filled with dread both night and day, never sure of your life. 67 In the morning you will say, “If only it were evening!” and in the evening, “If only it were morning!”—because of the terror that will fill your hearts and the sights that your eyes will see. 68 The Lord will send you back in ships to Egypt on a journey I said you should never make again. There you will offer yourselves for sale to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you.

How chasing the female vote increased our taxes and the size of the state while reducing our liberties

Listen to the superb intellectual sparring between Frost and Powell in 1969. It couldn't happen now, could it? The British in 1969 had Frost. In 2016 they have Evan Davis, who is gaily married, pretending Donald Trump has incestuous intentions towards his daughter, who was then ticked off by an American woman for taking things literally. I still remember Weekend World on LWT when it was presented by Brian Walden and Matthew Parris - an hour-long programme during which issues could be properly thrashed out instead of the pap we now have. The short interviews we now have is intended to cover up the fact that our politicians these days are clueless unprincipled twerps who prefer to be told what to do, and to do it without being questioned too much.

The form of Anglican Islam will be reassuringly Christian

http://islaminchina.wordpress.com/2008/02/27/islam-in-china-pictures-the-great-mosque-of-guangzhou/

I will tell you my idea of Anglican Islam. It is basically everything in the Book of Common Prayer that does not contradict the Koran. People would still go to church, sing hymns, celebrate Xmas, but what they will no longer do is affirm or refer to the doctrine of the Trinity or practice the ritual of pretending to drink Christ's blood and eat his flesh. Bells will continue to be rung in churches all over England. The Nicene creed will no longer be recited. Sermons will be proper sermons based the exhortations and prohibitions of God using current affairs and news stories to drive the point home.

SIN - especially Slut Single Mums - WILL BE CONDEMNED, NOT TOLERATED.

Any reference to the Trinity and the divinity of Christ in hymns and carols will be removed and replaced with other suitable words.

Priests will continue to wear their cassocks, vicars their dog collars, but the Lefties, feminists, Commies and the openly gay will be slung out.

Now tell me what is wrong with this idea?

Abdal Hakim Murad will be my Ayatollah of Cambridge.  I will let him appoint the Ayatollahs of York and Canterbury, I think.

Proposed Ayatollah of Cambridge

If he is really really really good he might be able to take up residence in Hampton Court, if I have anything to do with anything, and live a Cardinal Wolsey sort of life, without the unhappy ending, because he deserves it and is worth it.   

I keep thinking of all the blood that might not have been shed if Henry VIII had converted to Islam and practised polygamy to have his son ...
