Archbishop of Canterbury playing politics AGAIN
Discussion
Can't someone just put him back in his box properly this time.
If he wanted to be a politician, then he should have f
king well pursued that career. Isn't he supposed to be unbiased in his political stance (sort of like The Queen?), when he is so clearly lefty.
What a twunt.

Disagree. He, like many other people, seem to be deluded that it isn't their own responsibility to provide and look after themselves, to work hard and enjoy the rewards- rather, they sit back and expect to get everything on a plate from the State for free. The 'entitlement' attitude has to be eliminated for those who have contributed little or nothing. You should get out what you put in.nutcase said:

You don't think that there's a middle ground made up of people who do want to contribute to society but can't do for reasons beyond their control?Countdown said:

The state should help those in need. But it is not the role of the state to replace aspiration, ambition and personal responsibility.

Religion is politics. Politics/religion is rather like space/time.
Exactly.It took me a while to grasp that point but over the years I have become increasingly convinced that religion, politics and economics are all the same thing, or at least aspects of the same thing. Namely human nature. It is simply impossible to look at any one of them in isolation.

the balance is not right in this country. The truly disadvantaged should be helped, but Labour have created a culture where for a minority, benefit dependency is a lifestyle choice.

^^^^ Very good summary IMO.The religious beardy in the big hat makes a reasonable point, but there is nothing wrong with the concept of society, in that people SHOULD take more responsibility for their own lives.
The state should help those in need. But it is not the role of the state to replace aspiration, ambition and personal responsibility.

I can't value the opinion of someone who believes and preaches about a higher being.
Religion belongs in the dark ages, not in the 21st century.
but holding (apparently) invalid opinions on some subjects doesn't disqualify you from having valid and perhaps very sensible opinions in other areas.Religion belongs in the dark ages, not in the 21st century.
for example, if you ask me something about football my opinion is basically irrelevant but if you ask me about other things then you'd find I have significant expertise and very valid and valuable opinions (in my opinion... there we go again... my opinion of myself is probably not valuable).
so despite the fact that this man believes in god etc. etc. I find it possible that he may be able to talk sense.
So, the bearded skirt wearing knacker is stirring again.
He's moaning about protecting the wak members of socieety, who can't protect themselves. What about the scores of small children his mated have bummed? Did the church make a stand for the disadvantaged, and excommunicate those responsible? No, they just kept it quiet and hoped it would go away.

But football isn't make believe.....for example, if you ask me something about football my opinion is basically irrelevant
Your opinion on other matters would not be any less valid because you don't like football. That would be because you are not a mentalist making football up.
Religion on the other hand....
