David Cameron said we should all be a bit more like Jesus or we shall be spending eternity in damnation for not getting a bit more enthusiastic about the big society.
Anyone remember this?
Happened last weekend IIRC.
didnt hear it got a link? so we have another religeous fruit loop he definitely is blair 2.Anyone remember this?

didn't Jesus give away all his money and stuff? will multi millionaire cameron do the same or is it just our money he likes to give away to Afica and the rest of teh world.
A bit more like Jesus? Does he mean an anti-establishment rabble-rouser? That's a strange thing for him to wish. Or does he mean he wants us to be delusional and think we can walk on water and rise from the dead. Equally inexplicable.
In actual fact Cameron has no clue what he's talking about. Christian on one hand, accepting of other religions and ways of life on the other. No, Mr Cameron, the Bible is clear on that. Those who worship other gods are not welcome in heaven and are contravening one of the basic tenets of Christianity. Cameron, like most moderate (cherry-picking) religious, appears to have litte knowledge of what exactly his religion tells him, and makes the schoolboy error of equating morality with religious instruction. To be honest I didn't know he was that dull.

te about moral values, without really thinking it through, or his advisers and speech writers not doing so.We've been here before, the appeal to the "middle".
Quite why he, or any PM before, can't say that morality does not have to be based on any religious belief I do not know.

A senior Labour source added: “We know politicians like a big-name endorsement but this seems to be going a bit far.”

Sharp and apt retort.A senior Labour source added: “We know politicians like a big-name endorsement but this seems to be going a bit far.”
IMHO politicians are ill-advised to bring religion into the debate unless it is wholly relevant.
Has Cameron found God in the same way that Bliar found Catholicism? The quote I heard was that CMD accepted he was a p/t Christian but considered that the messages of the bible relating to reasonable behaviour still had relevance and was suggesting that clergy might like to recall the fact. If there was another quote then a link to actual would be helpful since a Labour MP isn't an impartial commentator. Beyond that I agree with Digga that politicians should stick to politics - and bishops should stick to religion.
